First Day of Fall . . . or Winter?

It is so cold right now! I need a snuggie and hot chocolate! Right now it is 45 degrees and tomorrow the high is only supposed to be 47! We turned on the heater last night! Our area is in a Winter Storm Warning for the next 36 hours, and the foothills and mountains could get 6-12" of snow. This feels more like the first day of winter than the first day of fall! Thankfully, we should be back in the 70s by this weekend, but right now I am freezing; I am not prepared for cold weather yet. I need it to cool down gradually, not go from 82 on Sunday to 52 on Monday. BRRRR!
