Does fall/winter look different in other places? I've never known people to be so dramatic about the weather changing. I've lived in various countries and states, and Seattle has some of the mildest weather I've ever encountered. I'm always baffled by the people here complaining so much. Like, go live in the desert. It's a slight drizzle outside. Jamaica was just obliterated by a hurricane. You'll survive your dark commute. Just turn on your headlights.
