Thread: Halloween costumes and the weather

Tweet

I live in Virginia. Its frikkin cold here on Halloween night. Its always an issue because you dont want to wear too little clothing and freeze. Its only one night, but I really hate cold weather lol. Do you guys live places where its cold on Halloween and do you have change your costumes for it?

As a child I remember tot'n in snow around here. Over the past several years it's actually been shorts weather on occasion (global warming? who knows...).

But usually it's cool enough that just my costumes feel comfortabley warm enough outdoors... too warm indoors.

I live in WV so its either too cold or just right or something. So i wear a jacket if needs to be when outside.

It always seems to hold off getting too bad here until later in the night so the younger kids get a chance to ToT sucks having to boogie to get the props inside when it starts winding and snowing though.

In my experience, the cold isn't an issue. So much going on sensory wise that you barely notice it, plus you're walking around hauling a bag (that can be heavy for a kid) with a full body suit on. The wind, though, that's a real killer and can ruin a night.

Always a crap shoot here in michigan, sometimes nice sometimes very cold or rainy. I don't consider the weather at all. I make my costume and go for it with a nothing is gonna stop me attitude.

I live in Ohio and its been hit or miss with the weather. Though I have to say on the years its been cold, I see tons of kids and adults in summer-esque costumes. If you want to stay warm just put some clothes on underneath.

Hi. I live in Wisconsin and it can get (bbbbrrrrrrrrrr) VERY VERY cold. Last year we had 2 days of snow before Halloween. The year before that it was rainy and super-windy. One never knows. Like discobandit said, there's so much going on, I never notice. I do remember last year people asking me "Aren't you cold???" and I seriously don't remember being cold.

Depending on your costume, you can always try to smuggle some type of under garments on.

Good luck!

I live in Georgia. One year it was still fairly warm (in the 80's), the next year was cold as crap, last year was pouring rain a good bit of the time. The last three years it has been very windy causing me to change and adapt my set up.

Here in New Orleans its really anybodies guess. Last year it was warm right up until the week before Halloween when temperatures starting dropping. Then during the day it was warm and would plummet when the sun went down. Year before it was perfect, about 75.

I live in GA, you never know what the weather is going to be!!!
