3D November Weather

I’ve coined a new description for our typical November weather here in the Pacific Northwest.  3D.  For dreary, dark, and damp.

The change is made all the more stark because it comes after a usually marvelous Indian summer of October (especially this year), and ushers in the early darkness of Pacific Standard Time all at once.  On November 2 this year I left work in the dark, instead of the daylight of the previous week.

It can also be disheartening to think this is only the beginning of the winter season, with lots more 3D to come for four months.

But November is not without its merits.  I don’t mind the cool, relatively modest temperatures in November.  And I love the fall colors.  Here is a 3D view out my window at work.

Truth be told, I really like our climate here.  We have four seasons, but the temperatures are very moderate.  The moisture gives life to the bounteous plant and tree life.  If you set your mind to it, and dress appropriately, there is still so much you can do outdoors.  It is rarely so cold you dread going outside, nor so hot it saps all your energy when you go outdoors.
