To visitors and newcomers, winter in Washington State can seem otherworldly because of the short daylight hours, the low temperatures, the rain, sleet, snow, thick fog, the brownstones and the overall dark earth tones that appear as spring dies. The heart of winter in cities like Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, and Yakima appear daunting to outsiders, but the true Washingtonian is one with the elements of all the seasons, especially winter. Usually, in the month of October, there is a natural event that may last hours, or a day or two, when the moist dark brown tree branches are full of the last sprout of leaves. The leaves on the trees are as dark brown as the dead ones lying on the ground. Then there is a storm. Rainstorm or snowstorm it doesn’t matter. What matters is the wind it brings to usher the dropping temperatures. After the storm, there isn’t one single tree anywhere, with leaves of any color still on its branches. That’s when you know you’re in it until you’re through it. Bundle up. Physically and mentally. One way is to prepare for decorating!
