Lucky to have 1/10" at my house in Norwalk. Just missed the redevelopment.

Did score this awesome shot leaving the studio yesterday evening as the initial wave rolled into the Metro. Asperatus clouds under the storm. Wicked.

First call for next Saturday. I think we'll be dry for the game but there is a storm system that passes in the Friday/Saturday timeframe. I'm thinking it's more progressive but Specific timing is still a bit in limbo. High of 60. A few clouds linger. Wind NW 10-15 sustained.

Don't think we're out of the woods on the rain component just yet.

For TT Gameday... Dry start to the day. But rain chances increase through tailgaiting and game time. Heaviest stuff builds in during the evening. If I was betting, I think tailgating will be 'okay'. Might get a few showers after noon. But the game is where we'll need to watch for rain.

High of 60. SE Breeze 5-15.

I'll be honest, there are so many trick-or-treat activities in the weeks leading up to Beggars Night I'm not sure my kids really give a **** any more.

my daughter has a conflict on Thursday night (dance) so she will miss beggars night. She will be pretty bummed when she finds out she can't go trick-or-treating. Luckily we've done a few trunk-or-treat events recently that she still got to have some fun.

Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious, but why do so many cities schedule trick or treat on days other than Halloween?

It's a long-standing thing in the Des Moines Metro. Growing up here it just seemed normal, after living in Minnesota for 10 years and now living back here - I don't get it at all.

My 8 year old has been asking me how many days until trick or treating for the last month, she's still pumped. And I'm gonna soak it up as much as possible cause I know too soon she'll be too cool for school & her dad.

Heck of a lot of red in this radar prediction for Iowa. Looks nasty.

Crazy weather. 11:30 pm and 77 degrees at MSP. Won't be this warm again till May.

 

[NWICY]

Looks like one big rain chance next week, & it's on our trick-or-treat night.. Think the metro could change it to actually be on Halloween just this once?

Your wish was granted

My kids are getting there, and I am trying to impress on them that at no other time in your life is it socially acceptable to dress up in monster costumes and eat candy all night.

Snow? Where you located?

So far this rain looks drunk because it can’t seem to get it up. Fizzling out. But we got wind.

In the late 30’s, Des Moines moved it from Halloween to “Beggars’ Night” (the day before Halloween) in response to high rates of vandalism on Halloween day itself. Was an attempt to provide a safer environment for the kids out trick or treating.

It’s held that tradition since.

And lead to every person that moves away from DSM being confused about actual Halloween.

Hey…when you live in the jungle. I bet most didn’t realize DSM was actually the inspiration for West Side Story (jimlad)

Ok…back to weather. We gonna see some **** later today, or what?
