Keep Your Trick or Treaters Warm

Date October 31, 2007

imageHappy Halloween Everyone!

There is a list floating around called “You know your a Coloradoen if”, and one of the items on it is “You plan your kids Halloween costumes around their snow suits”. This year isn’t going to be too bad, it looks like it is going to be about 40 degrees tonight when the kids are out trick or treating.

The Weather Channel’s Holiday Helper Site will let you find out the same information for your area. Although not the most intuitive tool in the world, it isn’t too bad.

(Note: You can get the same information on the Weather Channel, with a few more clicks, if you find your local forecast, and keep choosing the detailed forecast. Eventually you will get the hour by hour forecast.)

Step 1: Navigate to this URL (Open in New Window)

Step 2: Enter Your Zip Code, and Click “Go”.

Step 3: Scroll down to the “Holiday Cast” section. You can choose either the day that you want, or the hour that you think the trick or treaters will be out. Once you have made your choice, click “Play”.

If you want to look at the day’s forecast, or a different hour, you have to press the back button.

Have a safe and Happy Halloween!

      thats kind of chilly! we have pretty good weather where I am… its about 58 degrees and still bearable…. although we already had few days with 30s in the last couple of weeks!

      and that was clever to make a post about weather :)

      For these parts, that’s pretty good. Usually I have to take the kids out, and then when their noses and cheeks are sufficiently red, I bring them home until the warm up. Then repeat the process. Last night I was able to get it all done in one trip.

      I started just doing a generic Happy Halloween post, and then I started thinking about the weather. I figured that was more valuable than me rambling on about pumpkins. :-)
