CONNECTICUT — It looks like the weather forecast was right on the money for Saturday, as it's a gray day with periods of rain. Another inch or more of rain may fall during the day on Saturday. The rain should end early Sunday morning and sun should appear, and it will be warm with temperatures into the mid to upper 60s. At trick-or-treat time, temperatures will still be in the upper 50s. The forecast for next week looks great on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with sunshine and temperatures around 60 degrees. There is a chance for rain showers on Thursday and Friday and temperatures will start to drop a bit with daytime highs in the low 50s. Good morning & I wish I had better weather news for today. Rain at times & even if it brightens, more rain will come through with 50s & low 60s. 😕 Drier tomorrow with a brief spotty shower. Not enough to ruin Halloween. 🎃 Have a good day & what are you doing? pic.twitter.com/ns62jvx41k— Gil Simmons (@gilsimmons) October 30, 2021 Here's a scary statistic: Children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car and killed on Halloween than on any other day of the year.

What a cute and heartwarming story! A heartfelt letter written by a pizza-loving fourth-grader turned culinary consternation into tastebud triumph Friday at Vernon's Center Road School. "I had to," Vernon Superintendent of Schools Joseph Macary said about a massive pizza order sent to Antonio's in Vernon after receiving a letter from 9-year-old Aubrie Parrott this week.It's been hit-or-miss with the traditional Friday pizza lunches because of manufacturing and supply chain inconsistencies with getting pizza in for Friday lunches, Vernon Food and Nutrition Services Director Elizabeth Fisher said. Aubrie pulled no punches. She basically said Friday was pizza day and, though she knew she should be happy with whatever was being served, the school was "sad" over the pizza dilemma. "Aubrie was tells us she could live with out this and that, but not Pizza Friday," Macary said. "So I called Elizabeth and (CRS Principal) Jen Miller said let's just buy the whole school pizza." Antonio's delivered 33 pies. Cheers reverberated from the classrooms when Aubrie declared Friday was again pizza day during the morning announcements. Students were personally thanking her through the day. "Friday is pizza day," Aubrie said on her way to lunch Friday. She said the letter was not composed without serious thought. "If you're going to get mad, at least channel that into something better," she said. She said her classmates "couldn't contain themselves" when the pizza day was announced.There was one oopsie. Fisher said, to be on the safe side, she ordered all 33 pizzas with just cheese and sauce. At lunchtime, Aubrie declared her favorite was pepperoni. Macary then grabbed his phone. "Geno ... I need a pepperoni at the school ... large," he said to the Antonio's owner. "We need it ... just charge it to me." Antonio's larges are big, and the pepperoni arrived in time for Aubrie's lunch block. (Read more and see photos from the big pizza day event here).
