who needs the weatherman?
In the United States and the rest of the northern hemisphere, the first day of the autumn season is the day of the year when the Sun crosses the celestial equator moving southward (on September 22nd or 23rd). This day is known as the Autumnal Equinox.

(In other words, the day and the night are equal).

So it's Autumn. Yesterday was the official first day of Autumn. Although, I already knew it was coming. I have a fail proof system. My toes! Monday (Autumn Eve) I woke up with numb toes. The first sign of cold weather sends a direct signal to my feet. They will stay cold until sometime next Spring, probably around the middle of May.
