It was freezing this morning! I know the thermometer read about 40 degrees, but I'm telling you, at 5:00am in Northwest Oklahoma City, it was freezing. I was frozen.

Looks like the trick-or-treaters will be wearing a coat this evening. From what I just heard Rick Mitchell say, the wind-chill will be in the 30s. (Let's hope it warms up a lot by morning... It won't, though.)

I always hated cold nights during "trick-or-treat" because I had to wear a jacket over my costume, and in many cases, the coat would make it impossible to tell what exactly I was trying to be. Such a waste! Nowadays, however, I'm all about the jackets in the cold--better safe than sorry.

In fact, that's the story I covered this morning--staying safe this Halloween. We offered the safety advice experts and organizations give to parents, children and drivers for this haunted night. As John pointed out in "Eyewitness News 5 at 5," Halloween can be a busy time for doctors; hopefully, not so much this year after viewers saw our reports.

We did all of our live-shots this morning over at our executive producer's house. (That was her dog, Buddy, barking at me in the background.) I don't think I mentioned that during the show and in the 5:30am hit, I rang the doorbell. Don't worry, we won't just pick a random house to startle that early for a Halloween story. She, Julie, had already given us approval. (You probably saw her "photoshopped" images this morning--Our crew made her into Cruella Devil. It was priceless.)

Just finished watching "Eyewitness News 5 at 6" and Aaron Tuttle said the low temperature tomorrow will be 32 degrees. So, just watch tomorrow morning, there'll be no mistake and no exaggerations--I really will be out when it's at the freezing point.
