Cold Snap

On the night of December 7, 2016, we had a cold snap.  Until then, we had had an unusually mild fall.  So this night, the weather just turned cold.  The next day, as I drove around the city, there was an unusual phenomenon.  All the mulberry trees had lost their green leaves, which were piled under the trees.  It was a really strange sight.  A lot of other leaves fell that night, but it was not as obvious, because they were seasonably brown or yellow.  It was the bright green of the mulberry leaves that made them so obvious.

The next few days, the weather included some windy periods. And during those times, the leaves hit up against the windows and made it sound like it was raining.  It was not raining. That was an interesting phenomenon also.
