Bigger Sky Country

Autumn's hold on Northfield is unbreakable now. Any warmth is transient and thin, the sunlight is either wan or briefly intense, the breezes are cool if not chilly, and the wet leaves are thick on every surface. And since the leaves are on the ground (though the oaks and maples seem to be pretty stubborn when it comes to holding onto their beautiful but very different leaves), almost all the trees are showing the sky through their gray-brown branches, and revealing the upside-down continents of clouds.


And if what's above isn't enough, you can look straight ahead at the cool artwork literally dangling from a tree on campus.

Forecast: Significant blowing and drifting, with the possibility of heavy accumulation in rural areas.
