Halloween this year featured 80 km/h winds and a blizzard. It didn't stop the kids from trick-or-treating. It's hard to separate a kid from free candy. Some of the older ones made their rounds on ATVs and snowmobiles. The one kid that I admired the most was the ONE kid who came to my door. He looked about five years old, and he was bravely battling the blowing snow on foot by himself, making his way from door to door, while his parents watched from afar in a warm pickup truck. That kid deserves all the candy. Kids in the Arctic are of a special tough breed. They design their Halloween costumes to fit over their snowpants and parkas, and face the possibility that they meet meet a wolf or bear while trick-or-treating, and they do it anyway.
As for me, sadly I'm a grownup and I can't go
