RIP: Halloween

It's official: My Connecticut town has canceled Halloween. It's easy to understand, considering we're 100% without power following an unprecedented storm that dropped a foot of snow here in central Connecticut Saturday (outage map | Halloween canceled in Connecticut towns). I've managed to post a few photos of the storm devastation in Connecticut.

While my family and I are sitting in the dark bored out of our gourds for the third straight night, here are some last-minute Halloween resources for those of you who are seeing orange instead of white:

• Free Pumpkin Carving Patterns
• Pumpkin Recipes from New England
• Connecticut's PumpkinTown USA is Open Today
• Pumpkin Puzzles: Play Online!

Since I don't trust myself to carve by candlelight, if you carve a cool pumpkin this year... submit a photo, and I'll add it to my New England Pumpkin Carving Gallery.
