Forecasters say the relatively cool, stable weather conditions expected this Halloween will feel like a particularly festive treat coming on the heels of a tumultuous week in much of the country.
The Weather Network says parts of Ontario and Quebec will be digging out of a snowstorm in the days leading up to Oct. 31, while high winds are expected to batter areas including the Prairies and Atlantic Canada.
Compared to those conditions, chief meteorologist Chris Scott says Halloween will feel like a reprieve across most of the country.
Scott says temperatures are expected to be relatively cool and near average in most of Canada, even in regions that have experienced unseasonable highs for most of the month.
He says most of the country will get a break from major precipitation that day, though bands of snow may still surface north of Fort McMurray, Alta.
Scott says the areas contending with high winds may not be out of the woods come trick-or-treat day, adding that may pose some complications for Halloween decorators.
Six days out, Toronto trick-or-treaters are looking at a temperature around 4 degrees with a 20% chance of showers.
