I don’t know exactly what I’d say a ‘typical’ fall season in New England is, but I know the fall of 2023 wasn’t it. I can’t ever recall a fall season with more peaks and valleys in the temperature, with daytime temps eclipsing the 80-degree mark several times in the last week of October, and barely day that didn’t see 65 for the whole month, it was an atypical month. One thing that was quite typical, was the pattern of windy weekends, I’m going off of memory here, but I think we had some kind of storm every weekend in October! But we’ve seen this before. But our readers made the best of it and here’s some of the proof!
