Snow fall (not really in CA, unless you’re in the mountains, or have a snow machine), sweaters and hoodies, and long PJ pants are the hallmark of winter time again. I think after daylight savings is when it’s really winter here. When the days are less hot and the evenings are much cooler. Fog and gloomy early mornings are also part of the beginning of winter but coffee with smokey notes that reminds you of a warm fire and maple and sweet things mark my start of winter.
