Chilling Forecast for Halloween

No matter where you live, chances are you won’t need ghouls and goblins this Halloween to send chills up your spine. Farmers’ Almanac forecaster Caleb Weatherbee is predicting that most areas of the United States and Canada will see unseasonably cold weather this week.

While Ontario and the Midwestern states should be cold and dry, trick-or-treaters in other areas may want to scare up an umbrella; monstrously wet, unsettled conditions could be in store. Meanwhile, the U.S. and Canadian Rockies are expected to get into the Halloween spirit by donning a sheet of ghostly white snow. Here’s a closer look at what’s brewing for your area:
