@YouSpoonyBard1 wrote, "Nah, the real trick was wearing extra layers under your costume, that way, you wouldn't get cold vs. removing your jacket to ring the doorbell at the next house." @Hayetathome commented, "I have my fan on in a window right now. My apartment is in a red brick building above shops that’s like a pizza oven. (Absorbs heat during the day - radiates it at night). I live in New England on the sea an hour northwest of New York City. We used to wear wool jackets and coats in late October." @ajaybabu_meena remarked, "That’s true! Halloween used to be chilly, so wearing a jacket over costumes was a must. It added a different vibe to the festivities. Nowadays, it seems like the weather can be all over the place!"

@lineupllama shared, "Where I live in the North East, the warmest Halloween came in both 1876 and 1950 when the high temperature reached the same as today. It was cold a few years ago here, with a low of 28 degrees. The warmest ever where I live was 800 million years ago. Side note: Evidence suggests that the Moon formed when a Mars-sized object collided with the young Earth, which caused the Earth's temperature to reach 3,680°F that Halloween, lol." @RMS_Vishnoi expressed, "Old memories remind us of the joy and pride we felt, even in the cold. The innocence and excitement of those Halloween days will always stay alive in our hearts."
Many people in the government are doing their best to devise policies that will help prevent further damage due to climate change. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently called out people who had opposed her Green New Deal climate proposal by sharing videos of flooded NYC subways where people were trying to get through waist-deep waters. The floods were the after-effects of rains and wind caused by a fast-moving tropical storm. "The Green New Deal, which is a blueprint to create millions of good jobs rebuilding infrastructure to stem climate change & protect vulnerable communities, is unrealistic," Ocasio-Cortez, who goes by @AOC on X, wrote in a tweet. "Instead, we will do the adult thing, which is take orders from fossil fuel execs & make you swim to work."
