Snow in September in Minnesota? You betcha

Forests aren't even close to peak color in northern Minnesota, but Ely and the Gunflint Trail already got a dose of snow, six days after the official end of summer.

Barb Gecas of Heston's Lodge on Gunflint Lake, which straddles the U.S.-Canadian border, said it snowed for at least 20 minutes Tuesday morning.

"It was flurries bright and early," she said, although the brief snow was nowhere near a record for fall snow. Her husband, Greg Gecas, has lived along the trail his whole life, and he remembers an Aug. 1 snowfall.
