Red Sox Win World Series, Early Morning Accident Closes I-395, Breast Cancer Fundraiser, And Happy Halloween!

1. What's the Weather? It's not ideal trick or treating weather, unfortunately. www.weather.com is predicting a mostly cloudy day with a high of 65 degrees but this evening winds will pick up and temperatures will drop to 59 degrees. There's a 60 percent chance of showers this evening.  

2. This morning's commute could be a messy one for early birds. A two-vehicle accident in the southbound lane of I-395 closed the highway between exit 77 and exit 79 at about 3 a.m. About 20 minutes later, the northbound lanes of I-395 were closed from the merge with I-95 at exit 75 in Waterford to exit 79. The highway was shut down as of 4 a.m. For an update, go to www.wtnh.com/traffic. 

3. Red Sox fans rejoice! The Boston Red Sox won the World Series, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 at Fenway Park last night. It's been 95 years since the Red Sox won the World Series at home and fans were still at Fenway celebrating at 3 a.m.

4. Breast Cancer Awareness month comes to an end today so it's your last chance to join former City Councilman Mike Buscetto for a fundraiser at Filomena's Restaurant on Boston Post Road (Utopia Mall) in Waterford. All this week, the Buscetto family has been hosting Dine for a Difference to benefit Lawrence + Memorial Cancer Center. 
Not only will 100 percent of your donations go to benefit the new Waterford Cancer Center, the Buscetto family will match every donation.
