about the seasons

winter seems longer this year, mainly because it's colder.

if you think about spring & fall (autumn)  are just extensions of the seasons that come before & after it. spring can have winter-like days & summer-like days. fall (autumn) can have summer-like days & winter-like ones.

about 12 years ago it started getting colder in september, mostly bypassing fall (autumn) all together that year.

climate change isn't helping with any of this.
