Awesome Autwin: A Look at the Season Bridging Autumn & Winter

by Larry Weber  (same author as the best selling Butterflies of the North Woods, Spiders of the North Woods, Fascinating Fungi of the North Woods)

“AutWin” is the name I have given to a season of its own. It is the time after the leaves have fallen from the trees, up until a lasting snowfall covers the forest floor and the recently dropped leaves. Some refer to this time as the autumn interlude, and some call this time “Finter.”

“It can be as short as a couple of weeks—maybe even just one week—or as much as a month or more. I expect AutWin to be from about October 20th, when the leaf drop is mostly over and the landscape has opened up, until about November 20th….I call this time AutWin since it has features of both Autumn and Winter…”
