Slushy Halloween

It is a cold and drizzly day here at the Manor, if you can all the cloud encrusted darkness around here daytime.  There is actually light snow* reported in the outer suburbs, (about 40+ miles from the Manor).  We were planning on putting a variety of our smaller Halloween decorations outside today.  But have given up on that idea - most are lit with normal or electric tealights, and that's not going to work under today's conditions.  At any rate, the interior remains cheery and bursting with decorations and knick knacks of the season.  Linda is baking holiday cookies, and I'm eyeing a bottle of pumpkin wine.  Damn the weather, let the Halloween Celebration begin!

*By the way, this is not a record. I seem to remember sleet and flurries on Columbus Day in '73 or '74.
