Here in New Jersey it's dipped below 60 on a few nights, up to about 80 in the day. We're going through a much needed rainy spell right now, we had a drought this summer. The winter winds aren't too bad here, no flat plains of course. Biggest complaint I have against Autumn and the turning of the leaves is that is doesn't last long enough. Leaf burning was outlawed in New Jersey 30 or more years ago, that is something I miss.
I used to be something of a star gazer, a few years ago I set up my big Tasco telescope with a more powerful eyepiece, gazed at the Moon. Let some of the neighborhood kids look at, it took their breath away.
Closeby is the Delaware and Raritan Canal, to walk that with a Full Moon high in the sky when the leaves are down-you have to be there.
