So, Saturday we get an October snowstorm. Wet, heavy snow. Mind you not many leaves have fallen yet. Come Sunday morning, Connecticut looks post-apocalyptic. Trees are down, powers out, power lines all over the place. So our mayor, who thinks he's some kind of god, postpones Halloween to November 5th.

All I can say is:

You just described New York.

I wasn't planning on trick-or-treating, I was planning on goign ot my friends. We put out a bowl that says "Take one please, or else" And whoever takes more than one gets squirted by me with a water gun. But that's hard to do when there are no kids around.

The holiday itself is not postponed, just the observation of it.

That sucks. So does postponing of holidays by this all-powerful mayor happen often? And what town do you live in? I imagine it can't be big for the mayor to literally delay a national holiday.

master565 thinks dudeguy45 lives in New York according to the info given in the OP.

Like I said, only the observation of the holiday is being delayed, and only in the city in question.

I think it may be the whole state of Connecticut, but for sure my town.

And there were no trick-or-treaters out.
