Halloween Nor'easter

What a week!  I believe many of us share the sentiment that we are glad to get back to a "normal" existence after the travails of this week.

The unusual weather may not have been much of an issue 50 years ago... at this point in the year, most of the leaves would have fallen off the trees.  But, with an unusually wet fall and warm temperatures, the trees were either stressed or did not yet get the cue to turn colors or both.  It was a frightening combination that all of us are likely to remember for a long time!!
