[Magdalen] the first monochromatic day

[Molly Wolf]

I call this Fall Mud Season -- the time between the end of autumn and the beginning of real winter, which ascends to High Winter. Fall Mud season generally lasts a few weeks. Low Winter grinds interminably along after High Winter, preceding Spring Mud Season, which seems to last forever.  The options during Low Winter/Spring Mud Season are Arizona or suicide.
