It used to snow in Colorado on the Front Range around this time of year.

It has not this year. I don't think it will either.

I am 53 and that was not my experience at all. Every Halloween was hot and I use to sweat in my costume, especially under those cheap plastic masks.

Maybe the fact that I grew up in the Carribean has something to do with it. Who knows? It's a mystery.

I ain’t gonna lie it’s been hot in October since I moved to Texas in 2000. If anything its colder now than it used to be to be. It didn’t get cold until late November early December and now we have some cold fronts here and there that give us phenomenal weather starting in October.

I remember as a kid not wanting to wear a jacket cuz it would ruin my costume and regretting it because it was snowing. But I lived in the mountains in Colorado at the time.

It's strange though, it's cold here in Perth rn and it's normally hot as fuck this time of year. Like over 30 c

Gotta go back a bit farther. I remember trick or treating in South Texas in the early 90s and one time I had a cloak on that was normally stupid hot but it was perfect on a crisp Halloween night. Sadly never again.

Our forecast for Halloween in Jackson Hole, Wyoming is a high of 49°f and a low of 31°f. If I had a kid, I'd dress him up as an Ewok, but they'd probably wanna dress as Monkey D. Luffy. Nothing but a vest, jorts, sandals, and a straw hat.

We celebrate it but instead of candy we hand out beer and universal healthcare to the kids.

Many of my childhood memories of Halloween include snow. I'm in lower middle of Sweden, now its rare to see any snow before the end of December.

In Texas, we've actually seen more snow the last 5 years than the previous 20, but also more extreme heat. It's just extremes all around.

Our weather comes in the form of months-long heatwaves and droughts, isolated severe floods that saturate the ground and wash downstream instead of replenishing aquifers, and the annual extreme cold snap in February.

Oh yeah, it's just not warmer for longer. I was just thinking about adding stuff about this to the previous comment.
The past decade it's been increasingly common with what seems like an extreme early winter, full blizzard for about a week in early October and then it's like the weather goes "nah, I'll give you some more summer" and it's barely fall season till early november.
It really shows how fucked everything already is when it's generally much warmer for longer here and much colder for longer for you in Texas, with episodes for both of what I've started calling "extreme bipolar weather".
And I know neither of us are experiencing the real extremes that are happening in many places around the world, an increasing and already scary amount of people are dying every year from all the crazy shit going on with the environment. Heat strokes, hypothermia, floods, drought etc. and it's not even close to how bad it will get in our lifetimes.
It's fucking scary, and a completely valid reason to hate humanity and society as it is (and has been for a long time).

In 2012, Connecticut postponed Halloween a week or more because we received record snow fall in a nor' eastern turn blizzard. It cut power to many communities for weeks into the cold fall. I had to shower at a friends house a few times because without power our ground water was stuck in the ground.

I want to say probably for around the past 5-7 years, it's been ~60-70 degrees F within a few days of Christmas. One year I literally went out on Christmas day without a jacket because it was mid 70's. Definitely never had that when I was younger.

We are lucky here I guess? It was 29 this morning and climbed up to a warm 70 for a couple of hours. Not looking forward to my heating bill.

I remember as a kid making a Wolverine costume. This is way before Hugh Jackman too so we used s yellow sweatshirt with like blue felt or some blue cloth I think. It's been a long time so I don't quite recall all the details . But I remember it was made out of a sweatshirt. And I trick or treated in it fine. It was comfortable. These days I don't even get my sweatshirts out of storage until January, late January. Maybe get to wear them for 3 weeks.

My electricity bill 100% disagrees on the "colder than it used to be" part.

There was a stat last year about Colorado. It was the first year in history that every single Denver Broncos home football game was higher than 60°.
