FROSTY HALLOWEEN

Submitted by ub on

Snowy weather, with freezing temperatures, is blanketing the #USA today. Winter is coming early for several regions across the country.

Frosty the Pumpkin was a very jolly soul... This must be nature’s trick because it is not a treat so early in the Fall. The calendar may say it's autumn, but winter weather has made an unseasonable arrival for a large section of the nation, bringing with it freezing temperatures and measurable snowfall to several regions.

Much snow has fallen from Colorado to South Dakota, with some areas getting up to 19 inches, according to the National Weather Service.   https://www.weather.gov/

Halloween Frosty Halloween, or Hallowe'en is a spooky celebration observed in many countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Saints' Day. Halloween, contraction of All Hallows' Eve, a holiday observed on October 31, the evening before All Saints' (or All Hallows') Day. The celebration marks the day before the Western Christian feast of All Saints and initiates the season of Allhallowtide, which lasts three days and concludes with All Souls' Day.

Halloween's origin dates back to medieval times when it was celebrated for a completely different reason. History tells us that Halloween had its origins in the festival of Samhain among the Celts of ancient Britain and Ireland. On the day corresponding to November 1, the new year was believed to start, and on the day of the dead, I realized both cell phones were DOA believe it or not!
