Autumn (Fall) starts on September 23rd of this year. It ends on December 21.
In America, particularly NJ, DST ends Nov 4th of this year.
One last things is close up my opening statement, Nov 16th is the date when the average low temperature in my area is below freezing. The final day that the high tempetature is 60f o above is Oct. 30th.
Main points:
Everyone lumps in the three weeks following labor day into "fall/autumn". It. Isn't. Fucking. Autumn. On. September. Fucking. 10th. Still summer friendo. Even worse, once we get into autumn proper, at best we have five weeks before everything is cold and dark. Can you catch a nice November day in NJ? Sometimes. Don't count it though. Most of the leaves are down by the first week of November anyway, with SEVEN WEEKS of autumn remaining. None of the leaves change color before Oct 10 and are all gone by Nov 10th. You catch a few weekends of shitty rainy weather and you miss out on the brief period of beautiful perfection that is the fall we all picture in our heads. The weather sucks.
The Holidays: Halloween has been pushed into midsummer and Thanksgiving is always on a short and dreary weather day. You may be lucky enough to get black Friday off but you take your life into your hands leaving the house with the amount of hungover assholes chasing ten dollar crockpots. Christmas season starts on November 1st and its no accident that drug use, drinking and suicides all go through the roof. Hell, I love my family, my gf, my nephews and have great friends but even I'm fucking done by Dec 25th.
Closing
Its August 13th. Cherish this final month of summer weather everyone, have a BBQ on labor day. Take a bike ride. Winterize your place.
