Uh, it's Halloween... Ma Nature is going all out with her costumes up here tonight.
Everything but snow in that list of tricks. Guess that's for later in the week?

Uh, it's unnaturally warm here right now -- 75 degrees with a storm on the way.....and then the temp will drop dramatically. Very strange weather!
Freezing this morning. Thermometer registered 41 at 7 AM. That's middle of winter temperatures I tell you. I feel bad for the paper boy!
Hey, I live in Utica and you are right...Mother Nature is throwing everything but snow at us, which apparently is coming later next week,
!I am not really worried about the flash flooding where I am, however, tomorrow (or really today since I am typing this at 4:30 in the morning) we are supposed to get some wicked wind, 25-40mph, with gusts up to 60mph! I live in a big condo building, on the seventh floor, and trust me, I will feel the building sway a little bit (nothing major) if we really get nailed with 60mph gusts. That is how the building was designed, but it is still a little freaky. All the tables and chairs on my balcony are going to blow all over even though I folded them all up and put some heavy weights on them. I am lucky in a way because I face directly East, and 99% of the time the wind comes from the West, so I feel bad for the people on that side of the building. Sometimes it comes from the South-West, so even the South side of the building gets nailed. The North and East sides are the best to live on here, unless we get a Nor'Easter...then my side is getting nailed.
I remember when I was a kid (I am only 34 now), we would have Halloweens that were beautiful...70-75 degrees. We also had Halloweens that were cold, and it rained or sometimes we got a slushy rain, and then of course we had them where there was just a little bit of snow covering the ground - nothing major. I never remember a Halloween with tons of snow. Most of the time when I was a kid, it was just in the low to mid 60's and clear or raining. Ehh, times are a changing...the weather ebbs and flows.
Last time I checked, next Thursday and Friday snow is in the forecast, however, you know how these weather apps are...they change every 15 minutes it seems. I know starting next Wednesday the temps really drop, especially the lows:
I swear, in the winter I need to get the hell out of this state!!! I love the beauty of Spring, Summer, and especially Fall...heck...even Winter looks beautiful sometimes! It is not the snow that bothers me, it is the super cold, not talking 32 or a little bit lower. I am talking 10-0 degrees (Fahrenheit) or when it drops down into the negatives, say -10, but with the windchill, feels like -25. That is what I hate!
Though I must say, there is something very relaxing when it is snowing outside at a good clip, especially on a weekend, and you are inside by either a real fireplace (nothing beats that) or in my case a gas one (with real flame) and are nice and warm either reading a book, browsing the web, coding an app, or curling up with a significant other watching movies all day...or...sports, haha. This winter will be different for me unless I find a girlfriend quick, or I will be curling up by myself reading, messing around on the Mac/iPad/iPhone, or watching movies/sports on the ATV4K
!!!Anyway... @LizKat and anyone else who is in the path of this severe weather, BE SAFE!
PS: Sorry, I do not know how to "tag" someone in a post anymore? I swore it used to be a hashtag and then the username?

Nice and mild here on the south coast of Blighty, a little damp but thankfully we don't get extremes of temperature or weather!
This may the same weather we had earlier this week. Last Saturday was 75. Sunday was 25F with snow. A 2nd snow storm happened Tuesday morning. Some of the roads were out of control slick in random spots. It’s been dry recovering since.
I really like the weather graphs weatherunderground.com

I thought they just drive by now and throw the paper at your front yard.
I used to sub on my brothers' bike-delivered paper routes sometimes when we were kids... talk about Halloween weather, it was Halloween 3 out of 4 seasons some mornings with all the cobwebs you could run into. And that was before some of the dogs. I learned to carry dog biscuits, yeah. Never figured out what to do about cobwebs, you couldn't really see them in the half-dark. I figured as long as their creepy-crawly little web-makers weren't still out on the line as I busted through, all good... I guess. Ugh!
Here in the wee hours of icy mornings, the guy who brought the paper before they went to mail delivery was a real artist at managing to jam the paper into the carrier box without taking his foot off the gas or god forbid stopping along the steep hills of his route around here. At least by time the mail carrier brings the thing nowadays in winter, the crews have plowed and sanded the roads.
I'm ready for winter too... it's not the cold that bugs me about winter, it's the damn darkness. My solution is pull the shades at dusk and pretend it's still light out there for awhile. "De Nial, a river in sunny Egypt..."
It was 70 this morning with a bit of a breeze, looks like winter is almost here
Yesterday it was in the low-to-mid 70's and today it's 51 degrees! BRRRRR!!!! Too abrupt a temperature change for my liking!
Freezing fog and weather than really makes you not want to go out in Wales today lol. This was at 3pm this afternoon on the roads near me. Cold, cold, cold 
oh no not you again lol.
(oops I forgot you are a moderator now... pls note I didn't say you don't know anything about weather)
Van with multiple delivery people.I thought they just drive by now and throw the paper at your front yard.
Halloween - record snowfall here for October 31st. Beat the old record by 13 times. (.5 old X 13 = 6.5 new)
Nov. 1st - trees lost half their leaves . Raked leaves and snow off the lawn.

First snowfall that looks to be sticking is coming down at the moment. Hah, I welcome it, it lessens the darkness a little bit to have the lawns and rooftops reflecting a bit more of whatever little light the "twilight" has on offer in November.
You all can keep that snow, thank you very much! We are having a bit of rain right now but that's it as our temperature is still well above freezing, at 53 degrees Fahrenheit. That said, I see on our weather forecasts that tomorrow is supposed to be significantly colder and also rather blustery.... OK, that's fine, I'll dig out the heavy winter coat and bundle up -- but please, just no snow!!!!
