Halloween Wrap

<–this pumpkin isn’t real happy with the forecast. 9:15 PM – Only 10 kids at my house. We had candy bars, pencils, WOOD Magnets and bags of pretzels – and they got one of each. Just a few scattered lighter showers earlier today, and those pretty much tapered off by late afternoon. The winds died down a bit and temps ranged from 39 at Big Rapids to 43 at Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo. It was the coolest Halloween since 2004. Five of the last nine Halloweens have brought us temperatures in the 60s. We have had at least a trace of rain on 7 of the last 9 Halloweens. The most rain on any Oct. 31 was 1.27″ in 1994, the most snow officially in G. R. was 1.5″ in 1917. The warmest was 79 in 1950 and the coolest was 20 in 1988. Happy November!

Well, the trick or treaters crawled outta the woodwork here! LOL! Last year we only had 15 kids come through. This year I bought 2 huge bags of Kit Kats & 2 huge bags of Peanut Butter cups…(Cause the extra goes to us big people…)
My mom handed out candy while I was out to a Halloween Party at The Landing. I came home to only 2 kit kats and 2 eanut butter cups! She said it was almost NON STOP from abot 7 till 9 PM.
