@chyna: I believe your town is about 45 minutes from my town.
I’ve been looking at local FB groups for the past two days and there have been so many discussions about Halloween and the weather forecast. Some say move Halloween to Friday, some say that we, when we were kids, dealt with all kinds of weather for our trick-or-treating.
Where I live, houses on a lake that used to be summer houses, there’s a pavilion building and an option for kids and adults is to hang out there, give away candy inside the building, and have some snacks, probably like a party. Other adults are going to stay home and be available for the kids there. We’re staying home and taking our chances that kids will show up.
I remember after Hurricane Sandy, there was snow on the ground and no power here. My mom’s house had no power either. We went to an area near her where there was power, and did some trick-or-treating. My daughter was 5. That night we got one of the last hotel rooms at the Doubletree in Tarrytown. It was so nice just to have heat and lights.
