That was my first thought when I saw it haha. Will be glad to end some of these allergies too. At least the temps are back to normal for this time of year now. We often see our first snow or cold enough anyway around this time and around Halloween. No indications of that any time just yet, except some computer models trying to show another push of cold air sometime around the second week of November that could bring it, but too far off to really tell much or if that scenario will hold true.

Snowed on Halloween in 1993.

**Ironlung** · October 27th, 2007, 05:36 PM

My brother was killed on that day.

Gosh I hate to hear that.I lost a brother also and know that it is a hard thing to go through.

I guess most know by now, but it's been upgraded to a warning with temps expected to fall into the lower 30s and upper 20s. Temperatures are expected to drop just as low, maybe even a little lower, Tuesday night/Wednesday morning too, if you happen to miss this first one.
