I began posting onto the Almanac this week. The website is really interesting and also sends notifcations to others in the area, regarding your post and also about similar posts. This way we are able to see what other people are also saying about the change in weather and the weather patterns that they observe in their own neighborhood.

Regarding the weather, one major change that is extremely noticeable is the sudden drop in temperature. The air is much more crisp and the there is a cold breeze that reminds us that autumn has finally arrived. For many days it was warm and the weather was very unusual and unlikely for fall weather. But this week, the change in the colors of the leaves and the chapped lips, reminds us that it is now autumn and as we approach the end of October winter is very close-by. Furthermore, this weather change was very drastic and very unpredictable. Usually once October arrives the temperatures are in the high 40s to low 50s for most of the month. However, we have been experiencing really warm weather, very similar to that of spring, in New York City and Brooklyn, which is very unusual for this time of year. For this reason, this week of October came as shock as we were not prepared for the cold weather and sudden drop in temperature.

In addition, the days are much shorter and the nights are also very chilly as well. Sunset is as early as 6 nowadays, also expected as a result of the rotation of the earth around the sun. I think that the weather will remain like this for most of November and we can expect a very cold winter.
