From Fall to Winter

As everybody knows, fall is among us and winter is not to far away, with the freezing dark mornings and the early dark nights, we know that winter is near. The first official day of winter is December 21, which is ways away, thanks to daylight savings time, which is this coming weekend, November 2, we set our clocks back an hour and catch an hour of sleep so we’re able to wake up and go to work/school in the light.
However there is a downside to the glistening snow falls and the work/school cancellations, such as the roads get snow covered and icy, causing a lot more accidents. I can't bear to think of all the people who have lost their homes due to the flood over the summer, where will they go? And it will be too cold for them to continue working on their houses in the winter, along with all the other homeless people that sleep in parks, or under bridges.
According to some people, the day the first snow falls, is how many days of snow we will get that winter. Last year the first snow fall was on November 21, the day before Thanksgiving, and after that we got 21 days of snow, which added up quickly and broke the snow fall record here in Iowa. However New York and New Jersey has already gotten a blizzard and a few feet of snow. I’m hoping that this year will not e as ad as last year’s winter and not get as much snow, because then hopefully we will not have much rains in the spring and not have another flood.
