Who else here has autumn as their fave season?>September is perfect weather wise. Not too hot, not too cold, never any extremes in September where I'm from. Sun sets at a good time not too early, not too late>October has Halloween>November has Thanksgiving
I like it, but I have done a bunch of hikes that ended up getting dark near the end - so the daylight issue does become a thing. I've never really tried harder, expedition-type hiking in winter so this will be an experiment for me.
>>2839690Fall is clearly the best /out/ season, at least in Ontario.>no more bugs>no longer too hot and humid to move>not too cold either>beauty peaks with the colour changesThe only downside is the shorter days.
>>2839690Late spring and early summer for me. Southern OR; so it’s still relatively dry, longer days, not too hot etc.Autumn would be better if not for the endless rain (or if the trees changed color)
>>2839690I'm with you OP. The air getting cool and crisp in the fall feels perfect. It's the most nostalgic season for me by far.In my head, it's kind of like the real New Year too.I mean, I associate the calendar "new year" as starting in Jan, but for most of my life, major life changes happened around September: new school years, moved to totally new places a few times in September, started some a couple of relationships around September. Just the usual time of year that I'm starting a new chapter in life.There's also a relief of summer being over where I live now (New England). I like summer, but here it's so seasonal that it's go, go, go all summer and you're exhausted by the end of it.
>>2839730Late fall in New England is the greatest season. The smell of the air, the colors of the trees, the cool air, the sunsets, fresh cider from the farm stands. I spent the first 25 years of my life there, and I might spend the last 25 there if I’m lucky enough.
>>2839706At least here in September the days aren't short, sun starts setting at 7 and it's dark by 8 and that's fine by me. Early October is when it gets brutal due to daylight savings so its setting at 6 and dark by 7. Then November it really starts to hit and its dark by 6.
>>2839730>There's also a relief of summer being over where I live now (New England). I like summer, but here it's so seasonal that it's go, go, go all summer and you're exhausted by the end of it.There's definitely a toned downness to September that I like.
It used to be my favorite when I lived in Georgia. Summers are hot and humid and while the winters aren't harsh, it's still cold and bland outside. Spring could be nice but the pollen is insane. Even if you don't have allergies, it coats everything. You can't open your window to enjoy the fresh spring air because it comes with a yellow cloud that gets into everything. That leaves autumn to pick up the crown. Now that I live in the Midwest, the pollen isn't bad and by the time spring rolls around, I have cabin fever and am looking forward to getting out. Autumn is nice here and provides some relief from the summer heat but that heat isn't really all the bad nor does it last very long. This corny video explains seasons in the south pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCA7DO5EcBQ
I prefer early autumn to late autumn. When the weather's not too bad. It's not exactly sweater weather but not exactly short sleeve weather either. Then sometimes there's that crisp chill in the air.
always found it depressing, dunno whynever had an issue with any other season
>>2839730Any good places in Maine or New Hampshire for comfy fall views? Gonna be on a trip there next month
>>2839995Maybe its the turn to getting colder and darker
>>2840212>colder and darker>acting like that's a bad thing
