🎃 Happy Halloween, Oxford! 👻

Planning on heading out for neighborhood Trick-or-Treating tonight? Here’s a quick weather update... according to the Weather Channel: we’re expecting some heavy rain starting around 5:00 PM, but it should taper off around 6:00 PM. For the best Trick-or-Treat experience, we recommend waiting until after the rain clears for a drier, more comfortable night.

📅 When: Today, 5:30-7:30 PM (or wait until ~6:00pm, double check weather radar)
🌧️ Tip: Umbrellas or a waterproof layer, and rain boots just in case!
