Here in S. Utah supposed to be a wet and cold winter. We are almost rural and have the infamous “trunk or treat”, where kids run frantically from one car to another, get the goodies, then get back in the car to go to the next spot and do again…According to NOAA, I'm in the "About Equal" zone.
Halloween is just around the corner. That's usually the sign for us. We hand out candy sitting out in the driveway. If you have to wear a heavy coat, its likely to be a bad winter. Shirt sleeves or a light jacket, not so much.
So far its looking like maybe a sweater.
