DENVER (CBS4) ― If you've lived in Denver for any time it might seem like the weather on Halloween has been a little scary. After taking a look through the weather statistics from the National Weather Service in Denver the past 54 years, trick-or-treaters have been greeted with some tricky weather conditions.

Snow has played a big role on Halloween. During the past 54 years snow has fallen 10 times on Oct. 31 and eight of those days had measurable snowfall. There has been plenty of snow on the ground as well -- the total number of white Halloweens comes to 10 days.

Just over the past 10 years trick-or-treaters have marched through snow, walked in rain, freezing drizzle and sub freezing temperatures. During the time that most children are out collecting all their goodies (from 5 to 8 in the evening), the average temperatures has been in the low 40s.

Instead of a trick being played our kids this year the weather should be a treat.

Most children will be able to show off their costumes instead of covering them up with a coat.

Afternoon highs Friday are expected to be near 70 which would make it one of the warmest Halloweens we've experienced in past 54 years. During this years trick-or-treat period temperatures will range from 68 to 60.

-- Coldest Trick-or-treat period: 2002 with 18 degrees
-- Coldest Afternoon high on Halloween: 2002 with 19 degrees
-- Warmest Trick-or-treat period: 1990 with 63 degrees
-- Warmest Afternoon high on Halloween: 1999 with 77 degrees
