             Walking in the Greenbelt yesterday. While the recent rain and wind has knocked down a lot of Fall foliage, there are still pockets of colour to enjoy. It will be pleasant enough (by November standards) to get outside today. Clouds, sunny breaks in spots & 8°. Wind WSW 10-20+.

             I took a picture of a tree in my yard then added this creepy Halloween ghoul (AI). The Trick or Treat weather forecast is also pretty scary. More rain is expected and the wind will really pick up. Temps hover around 6° and WNW winds could gust near 60 😱. ☁️ Sat & 6°. Windy.
