Since last week, the weatherman has been saying it might snow this week. The temps were right, and moisture content was forecasted to be there. They weren't saying a snow storm was hitting... but there was a really, really good chance we'd see flurries.
Really, guys? Already? It's only mid-October!
Well, it did snow a bit overnight. The ground was still way too warm for anything to stick, but cars had some accumulation... up in the north suburbs. So I saw no snow! (yay!) But, in all fairness, they were right... for those north of us. We did feel the cold temps, still (obviously), but all that did was reinforce the fact that fall is really here. No more pop-up Indian Summer was going to show it's face. Which is kind of a bummer.
I do like fall once I know there's no hope for anymore warm weather. It's nice to see the last burst of color before the world goes gray for three months (which is completely depressing!). And it is kind of nice to cozy up in a sweater... at least for the first few weeks. If fall/winter only lasted about one month, it would be perfect, as far as I'm concerned. Just enough to jump through the seasons. If spring started on January 1st, that would be fine with me!
That said, this video is of one of my favorite roads to drive in Indy, especially this time of year. But honestly, any time of year it seems to have a calming effect. There are a few roads like that, but this is one of the few I'm near on a regular basis. Enjoy the ride.
