That is crazy! My small hometown moved ToT because the local football team has a first round playoff game and no one will be at their houses Thursday night.
I have noticed this, and I don't remember it being an issue before. This year people seem to be freaking out. I know it has rained before on Halloween. Oh noooooooooooos
edit: i mean freaking out about both sides. Just do what you do. I don't care lol

People freaked out here last year bc ToT was cancelled after hurricane sandy. Because that was a good idea to try with tons of fallen trees & downed power lines.
Yeah, when I was a kid we trick-or-treated on Halloween. If the weather was bad, then we either braved it, or stayed home. Or went to indoor community events. It was never moved to a different day. There was no such thing as trick-or-treating on any day of the year other than Oct 31. If people don't want to take their kids out, then that's cool. If they insist on taking their kids out in dangerous weather, then that's just stupid.
My kid is defective and doesn't want to ToT, so I'm cool. It's going to be ugly tomorrow.
Take your kid to the mall if it's that important to go on 10/31.
I'm still pissed at my now 17yo from the first time we did trick-or-treating. He was a firefighter and went to the first house, our next door neighbors, where he got TWO pieces of candy in his bag. Then he was done. "Okay, we can go home now, Mom." And that house remained the candy lady's house until we moved 4 years later.
I am kind of hoping they delay things to Friday. Well actually that would suck for me because I work, but addy has been looking forward to all the fun halloween stuff and now I don't know how it is going to go. DH could take her if it got delayed and at least the day wouldn't be ruined for her.
I'm shaking my cane and hoping it is nasty tomorrow so I don't have to get up and answer my door 23948273497 times. If there was a scrooge for Halloween, I would be him this year.
I wish our town would switch to Friday...it's supposed to rain all freaking day tomorrow. My killer witch hat and my little vulture are going to get all soaked and gross

Just turn your porch light off and don't answer. That is what I would do, because I am a Halloween scrooge. lol No one can get in my building, because it's a secure entry, so my happy ass doesn't have to worry about it. lol

Throw an old lady rain bonnet over that business! It'll look awesome, trust me.
Hmmm, well, if there's a tornado touching down in my area then I'd like it moved. Yeah. Or, I guess I could just buy my kid candy but I'm not going out in a tornado! Sorry!

I'm bummed because I'll be working on Halloween but not on the floor. I'm going to be crammed into a small office for 5 hours, learning the tools and trades of cashiering. I figured if I had to work Halloween, I'd make it fun for myself and the kids. Nope. To the office I go. Which will benefit me so much more than brightening a kid's day for 6 seconds. I'm more afraid for my apartment if H doesn't stay home. We would be targets for egging. But I don't see a reason why H would NOT be at our apartment at 7-8 pm when his work is done at 5.
If it rains here (like it's supposed to) we will take our nephew to the mall (maybe give his parents the night off). If it doesn't rain, we will ToT in his neighborhood. We have plans.
