Since the CME calendar was based off of the NYSE calendar, closings for
Hurricane Sandy were included, but shouldn't have been for CME.
This is the explanation we had included prior to the new exchange
calendars:

We *do not* add any non-trading days for Hurricane Sandy. Although
trading on CME Group exchanges was disrupted, trading still occurred at
some point on each day. Importantly, the disruptions do not appear to
have affected the expiration dates stipulated in the futures contracts
expiring during this period.
Trading of CME US equity index futures & NYMEX futures was disrupted due
to the hurricane's impact on New York. CME US equity index futures
markets were disrupted on October 29th 2012, but reopened at 5:00pm CT.
The US equity index markets were closed from 8:15am CT on October 30,
both for the trading floor and CME Globex. The trading floor of the
NYMEX was closed on October 30, but all floor-trading products were
available electronically on CME Globex.

Querying for the price field of an equity actually looks at the close
field, so we should do the same for futures. Otherwise `data.can_trade`
and `data.current` of 'price' fail for futures.
To support testing configurations which need control over the full path
to the asset, adjustment, and equity bcolz directories; which is
required by some of our internal testing which exercises servers which
coordinate these files via a date slug in the full path.
Also, by allowing customization of the full path, it is now possible to
have the AssetFinder and AdjustmentReader sqlite databases be written to
disk, which is also required for our server testing setup.
The tradingcalendar module has been replaced by the new exchange
calendars and trading schedules. Issues a ZiplineDeprecationWarning at
tradingcalendar module scope to be triggered on imports.
next_scheduled_day and previous_scheduled day should raise if
trying a return a date outside the calendar. Previously it just
returns None, but it should be made consistent with the behavior
of add_scheduled_days
- Refactored EventsLoader and BlazeEventsLoader to not require a
subclass per dataset. Instead, you now pass a map from columns to
event fields directly to the EventsLoader constructor.
- Removed a large number of Quantopian-specific datasets and associated
tests.
- Rewrote the core logic of EventsLoader and BlazeEventsLoader to share
index calculations across multiple requested columns.
- Fixed a bug where event fields were incorrectly forward-filled when
null values were present in an event.
