[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is fake summer. Before this, we had fake fall for a few days.

Real fall will happen after the storm.

This is very scientific. [/quote]

I feel like we will have 3 days of real fall then winter. [/quote]

No DC doesn't have winter anymore. We will get two months of fall (October and November) and then "The Dark Season" which will not involve snow or really temperatures below freezing but will be miserable because it gets dark at 4pm.

December is "Holidays" where it's cold or sometimes warm and definitely dark but no one cares because of twinkle lights and parties.

Then we get 6 weeks of cold and dark but no snow. Some people call this winter but I call it "Seasonal Affective Disorder" or alternately "Spring Break Planning Season."

Then we get "Fake Spring" for around 6 weeks -- it's windy and rainy but also not as dark and we'll have one or two days that make you think spring is starting but it's not. Those two days will result in the cherry blossoms blooming early so that peak cherry blossoms happen when it's still really windy and kind of unpleasant.

Then we get two weeks of actual spring. Try to enjoy them because then we get 5 solid months (June-September) of "Swamp Season" which some people call "summer." We are in the last days of this season now. That's why many of us are enthusiastic about fall.

This is so accurate. I grew up in upstate NY and remember hating November because it was just gray, with leaflets trees, a chill, and never much snow. Now it's like December - March is the neverending November here, with bonus 35-40 degree rain.

Spring does last longer here because things aren't frozen until April, but I don't think it makes up for the rest of the year just being warm and wet. [/quote]
