Uh ... we have had some very cold Novembers and Decembers. We’ve had snow before Thanksgiving at least twice in my lifetime and a few years ago we had a white Christmas.

Not sure how to post it here, but I have a gorgeous view of the west side of town today.

I can remember in the early 2000's,, 2001 or so, we had a FRIGID October (really a January-like) It was frigid, cloudy, and windy. A friend of mine had just married. His wife was from Tampa. Her first "Atlanta experience" was that year. She nearly froze to death (I can EVEN remember her wearing a scarf in the church choir!) The next year, she dragged her new husband back to Central Florida!

I even remember a couple of Halloweens (1993 and sometime also in the mid-2000's) that we had SNOW ON HALLOWEEN! (Okay, they were "flurries", but still we are talking about the SOUTH side of Atlanta, Clayton County, in DEEP South, Georgia.)

Really, as a Native Atlantan, I can tell you that November can be ANYTHING from balmy, to Indian Summer, to borderline tundra.

Hence, the popularity of coffee as a go-to beverage in those cities as a way to attempt to counter the extended periods of cool, damp, rainy, dreary overcast days that can go on for as long as three months in those areas.

I want a front-loaded winter for a change, and we've been off to a good start with that since mid-October, the first seven days of November notwithstanding. Cool, cloudy days are very relaxing, refreshing, and easy on the eyes (literally). Here's hoping for many periods of easterly winds, cold air damming and steady rains in the late fall and winter.

We don't usually have really cold Octobers, but I can remember one particular October where there was a series of cool, damp, wet, foggy days, particularly on Friday nights when many high schools like to hold outdoor festivities during the month of October like Homecoming, etc.

Because that particular October seemed to have cool, damp, foggy, wet weather every Friday night while high schools were trying to hold their Homecoming festivities, many high schools moved their Homecoming dates up to the month of September for the next several years hoping to avoid the cool, damp, foggy, wet weather that seemed to be especially prevalent that particular October.

But the many schools that moved their Homecoming festivities to September in an attempt to avoid cool, damp, foggy, wet weather in October apparently did so to no avail because the September of the following year became one of the absolute rainiest months ever in North Georgia history.
