CHICAGO — The snow is the scariest part of Halloween for a lot of trick-or-treaters with several Chicago area communities postponing the holiday fun because of the weather.
But in north suburban Lake Bluff, officials said Halloween is on. It will run from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m.
Trick-or-treaters walk past snow covered bushes to get free hot dogs from the @LakeBluffPolice, a beloved tradition in Lake Bluff. The northern suburb is going ahead with its #Halloween celebration, despite the #snow. @WGNNews @WGNMorningNews @WGNTV #haloween2019 #chicagoweather pic.twitter.com/Zijcxb4lIN

#Halloween dressed up as #Christmas this year in the #Chicago area. We could get 3 inches of #snow today. There’s only been measurable snow on Halloween once since they started keeping records in 1885! @WGNNews @WGNMorningNews @WGNTV #chicagoweather #Snowtober #Chicago #Weather pic.twitter.com/VB93wcTRFG

Pumpkins dressed up as snowmen for the holiday. It was officially the snowiest Halloween on record in the Chicago area.
Chicago has only had measurable snow on Halloween once since they started keeping records back in 1885.
Joe Mountain, a @LFCollege student, found his car covered in #snow and playfully brushed some on his friend Maddie. She returned the favor with a snowball to the face. #Snowtober #Halloween #chicagoweather @Skilling @WGNNews @WGNTV @WGNMorningNews pic.twitter.com/WD7q4oTS7p
