Halloween Predictions: Much of British Columbia is eerily cold under a full moon

Moses Yarborough,

While the weather is expected to be frighteningly cold in most parts of BC this Halloween, those who venture outside might be in for a place to have fun.

A rare full “blue” moon is expected Saturday night, and it is the second full moon this month.

The last time Trick-or-Treaters went out under a full moon in British Columbia was in 2001, but the last Halloween moon in all time zones was in 1944, according to a farmers’ calendar.

Gideon had seen him several times near his home in Valentin Park, London, which he visited regularly to take pictures. But as the blue light of dusk crept in and the moon rose, the landscape changed. Gideon says the narrow branches of the sycamore tree shaded against the sky made it appear supernatural, like something out of a fairy tale. He set himself on an opposite slope, and tried to capture the perfect formation. But the crow kept moving along the branch and turning its head away, so having its silhouette with the moon in the frame meant that Gideon had to keep moving as well. Then, just as the light was about to fade beyond the point at which filming was possible, his desire was fulfilled and an ordinary sight in London turned into something magical.
