“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.” 🙂
