Jarvis even added a shark that wanted to get in on the candy.Other forecasts featured Hersheys bars, lollipops, MMs, ice cream and candy floating through the air.I think the tornado would be like a big piece of candy corn, Melody said.Halloween also made its way into the students forecasts, with drawings of witches, costumes and people trying to grab treats as they fell from the sky.From candy-filled tornadoes to chocolate and lollipops raining from the clouds, the students at Ruediger Elementary proved that forecasting can be pretty sweet.And if candy came with every storm, a few rainy days might not sound so bad after all.This story was reported on-air by a journalist and has been converted to this platform with the assistance of AI.
