Erik and Skye carved the pumpkins above! What talent!

Meteorologically, we will carve out sunshine again Friday. Halloween will be mild!

The first flurries of the season were reported this morning!

Snow showers are possible overnight tonight. Freezing temperatures are also expected. Most low temperatures will be between 28 and 32 degrees.

Although we are off to a cold start this week, a much warmer end to the work week is expected.
