Here in the Midwest, we have a very quick transition from fall to winter. I'd say fall here lasts from October to mid November. Hopefully we won't get a brutal winter this year...I'll admit that winters aren't what they used to be though.
How are winters in your area? They tend to vary a whole lot, unlike summer where it's hot pretty much everywhere.
I know, it's so weird. Winter is beginning for the midwest and we're in the middle of summer. I consider our summers to be Sept, Oct, and Nov. Yesterday though, I kind of felt myself missing snow. That was a surprise.
I'm not yet ready for winter. My winter wardrobe from Hong Kong only just arrived and that's only business, I still have to drop at least another undisclosed sum of money on my sweaters, turtlenecks, sunny-winter-day jeans, cold-winter-day jeans, walking-around-town-winter jeans, hats, scarves, gloves, special coats that make me feel good inside, the list goes on and on.
I really do love winter clothing This year I'm exploring the options in Chicago itself to see what the city's designers are putting out.
Aside from that, it's only October. I still have to stock up on all the winter necessities from the farmers markets: honey and all things pickled.
(shoes and all variant forms thereof were specifically omitted from the above post due to the poster's inability to reckon her love of shoes into textual form).
We'd better be. Forecast for Saturday is 40% chance of snow. I'm ready. Bring it on!
