“Name That Shoulder Season!”
If you live in San Diego or Palo Alto — never mind.
But, if you live in the Upper Midwest (the Twin Cities qualifies), there’s a very palpable, interim season that occurs each year after Fall departs but before Winter arrives.
Like . . . right now.
Fall < ??? > Winter
Unfortunately, there are no good word mashup’s analogous to “Brunch.”
The best me and my kids could come up with: “Wall” (“in between Fall and Winter”).
Not great, but still much better than the runner-up: “Wautumn.” 🙂
