Trick or treat rain options - Thursday forecast

[Anonymous]

Doug Kammerer assured me, in person, that there would likely be a window of 5-7pm in the immediate DC area in which it would be dry. So, go out early and be prepared to cut it short. (and yes, I know many homes won't be "trick-or-treat ready" at 5, so you might have to skip some houses).

Is Doug as handsome in person as on tv?

Indoor is a complete parent cop out.

Haha you’re so intense! What do you for a living? I like your answer and not being rude. I’m genuinely curious and feel like your intensity prob serves you well in some capacity.

NP here. Is going trick or treating in the rain really considered intense? I guess it would shock you that we (& many others at the same park) just camped in a tent in the pouring rain this weekend. I think carrying an umbrella and going trick or treating in the rain is pretty standard. At least, it was when I was a kid.
Don’t you guys ever go out in the rain just to let your kids play in the puddles?

No. My kid has sensory issues and hates rain. Any other quesitons?

You do understand that normal kids have no issues with rain, correct? Maybe don't look at the world through the lens of your kids' quirks.

The poster asked if we go out and play in the the rain puddles. Or camp in pouring rain. We do neither. I also wouldn't care to do these things and I am “normal”. I do understand that “normal” kids may not have any issue with rain. But I also understand that sensory kids, or even “normal” kids or adults might have an issues with rain too. What exactly about my response to the PP triggered you?

Yes, I sure do. What exactly is your point?

Most normal kids that I have seen are actually really whiny about rain. Adults too.

Who are these "normal kids" to which you refer? I have never known a "normal" kid.

Ugh. The Facebook page for our neighborhood announced that many in the neighborhood will be trick or treating on Friday instead....

Same. Every kid has his/her quirks. That’s why that poster is an ass.

So is it supposed to rain? I need to decide whether I need to pick up candy on the way home today. What’s the verdict? In MoCo.

I'm following DarkSky, which has either light rain or overcast between 6-8pm. It changes by the hour. I think we'll see how things go around like 4pm. Game time decision.
