With Halloween tomorrow, we would like to pass the current weather projections for Thursday and Friday.   By all indications it will be wet, cold and windy for those communities having Trick or Treating Thursday.   Wind gusts will begin about 2pm around 30 MPH from 5pm throughout the evening. We do have a slight chance of our first snow fall around midnight.

What to expect:

·       Low visibility for pedestrians

Precautions
