Fall summary
So far it has been a fairly mild Fall. We are pretty late into November and there have been no terribly cold days. I have managed to make do with sweaters this whole time - my coat still hangs in the closet, waiting for me to don it.
Mind you, it was a pretty wet Fall. I remember trimming the bushes in Montreal one weekend and then having hard time finding a dry weekend to collect the sticks (I use paper yard waste bags. As you might imagine, paper bags don't hold up very well in the rain).
We did have one brief moment of snow flurries a few weeks back. Recently, a few morning have been below zero - I even had to scrape frost off the car windows on two mornings.
I've enjoyed it (as much as one can, locked up at work). The only change I would make is to have had it a little less wet.

okay, maybe just three.
scrap winter :P
Hope we don't get what Edmonton and Calgary have just had! Even Vancouver Island got hit! Our weather patterns are really changing or so it seems anyway.
freckled-one: never having been out to California, I don't know what your idea of mild is. My general impression is that the climate is too warm (granted, it is along the coast, so it is probably moderated). The worst was when I was in Colorado one Summer. Being in Denver was fine, but once you came down to sea level, it was oppressive.
tin-tin: if it makes you happy and smile, why not?
vina: don't knock winter. It is very nice. Long walks as the glimmering snow falls is wonderful. The crunching of snow under your boots.
toraa: I am not sure if it is the mildest Fall since record keeping, but it has been relatively pleasant.
MOI: are you one of those extreme cyclists who goes out on the roads even in the dead of Winter?
kaymac: there is a lot of weather variablity up here in Ottawa and Montreal as well. Sofia calls our weather crazy (she was born and grew up in Lima, Peru) where they have 4 distinct seasons - when it is Summer, you know it will be warm and sunny, no unexpected rain, no sleet, no hail.
rennyba: I feel so guilty, you have commented twice on my blog and I have yet to return the favour. As long as we have a white Christmas, all will be fine.
