Memaw’s Arctic Roll for Friday, October 30, 2026 Good morning, Alaska! Mother Nature apparently decided Halloween needed a little extra drama. We’ve got wind gusts strong enough to rearrange your yard, rain working overtime, and a few roads that deserve more respect than your average haunted house. đ¨đ§ď¸ And, guess what? October 30 is National Candy Corn Day, celebrating a sweet that has been part of America’s fall traditions for more than a century. First introduced in the 1880s, candy corn was originally sold under the name âChicken Feed.â That was some clever candy branding long before Halloween treats became big business! đđŹ Its familiar orange, yellow and white layers weren’t chosen just for a festive look. Each piece was designed to resemble a single kernel of corn, giving the candy the appearance of a miniature ear of corn. The design reflected a time when corn was a familiar part of American farm life and a symbol of the fall harvest. The recipe combines sugar, corn syrup, fondant and marshmallow, with a thin coating of carnauba wax for its signature shine. More than a century later, candy corn remains a Halloween classic. So grab a handful and celebrate one of autumn’s sweetest traditions! đ đ Memaw’s advice? Secure the outdoor decorations, keep both hands on the wheel, and don’t let a gust of wind send your Halloween plans flying. đŚ Daily Verdict: Windy Roads, Wet Commutes & Aurora Hopes đ˘đĄđ´ Roads: Wind and rain are the main concerns. Alaska 511’s alert listing currently reports no active statewide alerts; that does not mean every highway is clear. Traffic: Check for changing conditions before departure. High-profile vehicles need extra caution in strong crosswinds. Sky: Rain and extensive cloud cover are expected across much of Southcentral. Aurora activity is forecast to increase, but clouds could spoil the show. Headlights: On! Rain, road spray and gray skies can reduce visibility. Make sure your headlights are on and give yourself room to see and be seen. â ď¸ Mat-Su Watch Lower Matanuska Valley â Wind Advisory đ Reality check: Keep a firm grip on the wheel. Give trucks, trailers and other high-profile vehicles extra room, and secure anything outdoors that could take flight. â ď¸ Southcentral Watch (Anchorage Bowl, Hillside & Seward) Anchorage: Wind Advisory … Read More
