Anecdotally

Warm Michigan Halloween = Plunging Weekend Prices?

A source in Michigan may have anecdotally sized up the Friday market with an innocent comment: “It’s going to be a warm trick-or-treating night for us.” A warm Halloween in Michigan?!? That kind of unseasonable weather throughout much of the East and the southern reaches of the West went a long way toward explaining why weekend prices plunged across the board.
