Temperatures are below freezing to start your Halloween, but we should warm up

Today’s forecast:
We got off to a cold start this morning, with temperatures below freezing for some of us. Jackets and layers are required, but you should be able to shed these by mid-afternoon. Once we reach trick-or-treating time (around 5 p.m.), temperatures will be below 50 and continue to get colder. Children will need some layers under these costumes.
