Happy Halloween Saturday!

A longtime tradition in Canada, Ireland, the UK, and the USA. In more recent years, the celebration has spread to other countries around-the-world.

Your trick or treat forecast is calling for clear skies and a temps around 6 degrees.

Halloween will feature the first full moon across time zones since 1944.

This year, October has two full moons. The first one was the Harvest Moon; it was earlier in the month. This normally occurs in September but edged into October this year.

The second full moon in any given month is known as the Blue Moon.

This year’s is particularly unusual as it is the first full moon to occur across all time zones since 1944, and it falls on October 31st. The next one to occur will be in 2039, followed by 2058 and 2077.

Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend as we fall back an hour, officially at 2am Sunday morning.
