I was born in October and fall really is my favourite season... part of it must stem from knowing that it could snow any day and one really appreciates every sunny day you get.
The mornings are crisp and with the temperature hovering around freezing it is too cold for my daughters to ride to school but by the afternoon they wish they had their bicycles as the it is once again shorts weather. Our evenings are also quite pleasant as one can stay out quite late before you need to throw on a sweater or a jacket.
It has been unusually warm through September and this is when we saw our hottest temperatures of the summer and hope October brings us more sunny days... winter can wait a little longer.
I guess it is also nice to be as warm as you want to be... could not handle southern temperatures and will keep our winter and cold thank you very much.
