Growing up I wore a winter coat over my Halloween costumes more often than not and usually had snow on my birthday in early December. We had to shovel the roof a few times a year and would tap our small sugar bush on town meeting day.

Now Halloween is usually t-shirt weather, haven't shovelled a roof in almost twenty years, snow on Christmas is 50-50, and if you wait to tap on town meeting day the sugaring season is half over.

I plant my garden two weeks earlier now than I did growing up.

Halloween is usually t-shirt weather? Maybe this last one but it’s usually cold and rainy every single Halloween.

So maybe a long-sleeved t-shirt or a raincoat, but I don't remember the last time the weather on Halloween required a winter jacket.

Born in Randolph in 1962. We used to have a Halloween parade! And I don't remember ever missing Trick or Treating because of the weather.
