The Feel of Fall in Atlanta
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I woke this morning burrowed in blankets. As I’m typing, it’s a sunny, breezy 64 degrees and I’m sipping hot tea.
All signs point to fall, and just in time: it starts today.
Readers advised before how they really know it’s fall in Georgia, then offered up their favorite fall festivals.
A handful of AJC writers put together their own feelings of fall: new school supplies, silenced cicadas, begrudging acceptance of leaf labor.
When you’re new here, it’s tempting to believe that it’s 95 degrees and sticky year round. From out-of-town friends and family, I get as many questions about the weather here as I did during a short stint in Iraq: what’s your electric bill like? Did you get rid of your winter coat? Pretty hot, huh?
Nope. It doesn’t feel at all like you’d think.
The Newcomer blog will check out Atlanta by the senses this week. Check back tomorrow for info on how Atlanta sounds.
