Most days I've been able to enjoy going outside in T-shirts and flip flops. Jeans, too, of course. That would be terribly inappropriate to go out without them. Of course, many days campus was filled with girls sporting their short shorts. No shorts for me, though. I'd already packed them away for the season.
Anyway, I digress. Let's just leave it at it's been unusually warm. And beautiful.
The leaves paid no mind to the warmth and changed colors and fell to the ground all the same. Actually this added to the gloriousness (is that a word?) of this season.
All this came to an abrupt end a couple days ago.
The temps dropped.
The winds became fierce.
This morning, I awoke to falling snow.
I love the look of snow, and while it's not in the least bit unusual to have snow at the end of October, the fact it's been so unseasonably warm the past few months, makes today's weather unusual indeed.
Mostly I feel jipped of the gradual transition from summer to winter.
My hope for fall this year is gone. :-(
Today I dug out the winter coat and gloves.

Have you been experiencing unusual weather this fall? What are your predictions for the weather this winter?

At first I was confused at where you lived, then you mentioned the cold and it suddenly sounded more like the Octobers of my youth. Hope you get some Indian summer days.
ReplyDeleteLara, Yep. I've been back in MN for the past 3 years. :-) It's been Indian summer days all through Sept and Oct. Guess they couldn't last forever. Sure hope you're right that a few will return, though.
