With "that day" coming up, dates such as this form a memory guide for weather and temp extremes. What are yours? In the N end of Idaho I remember TWO that were notable. Not the exact year, but close. Both these happened soon after my discharge from the Navy, so 74-5-6, maybe 77 One occurred either a year or two before the other.
One year I was doing nothing Halloween, had a 64 Dodge I was 'thinking of fixing' at my folks and so, about 8-9PM Halloween I was out in my shirt sleeves working on the thing. It was likely 55ish and I don't remember being too cold
The OTHER year, was one of the first years I had the old FJ-40 Landcruiser. The town had opened up the old movie theater, and had some old double feature for Halloween. Two of us couples had gone, and so, about midnight found me out SCRAPING HEAVY FROST off the LC. I started it up, scraped all the windows, and then GOT INSIDE and scraped frost off the inside!!! It was about 15F!!!!
