Every morning since the start of November, Nicole Wadler would put on her North Face coat and wrap a scarf around her neck before she headed out the door.
At the end of each day, her winter clothes were found in the washing machine to rinse off the sweat.
“I have been ready for a wicked cold winter,” said Wadler. “Every day I have to run back to my room to change into lighter clothing to prevent myself from overheating.”
Wadler is not the only one waiting in anticipation for the cold weather. The air has been unusually warm in the East Coast for the months of October and November.
The grass is green, the sky is blue, the sun is shining, and the air is light. Many people are confused with the surprisingly warm conditions and are getting impatient for the frosty climate to arrive.
Many people are ready for the cold environment in order to show off their new winter apparel. Some people want a change in their wardrobe.
After four hours of leg exercise at the mall, Jessica Oros, a resident of Morris County, New Jersey, bought warm-stitched sweaters, coats filled with fur, and fuzzy boots. nice
“I was prepared for winter to start early this year,” she said. “I went shopping for brand new winter attire and I haven’t been able to wear anything yet.”
The holidays are also a primary reason why many people are seeking the cold weather. Holidays are approaching and cold weather is not even in sight.
Matthew Sacco, from Montclair, New Jersey reminisced a past Christmas, where the air was frigid and icy, houses were beautifully lit up, and smoke blew out of chimneys.
“The spirit of the holidays is never the same without wintry weather,” Sacco said.
The beauty and comfort of snowfall is also why people are awaiting the cold.
Melissa DeFuria, from Long Valley, N.J., said snowfall brings feelings of joy, peace and ease. It is the beautiful scenery, she said and many people are done with the warm environment and want to embrace the feelings and surroundings of the snow and icy weather.
Wadler is hoping for a cold climate to arrive quickly. Continuing to put on her winter coat and scarf every morning, Wadler is gripping onto to the day when the air turns bitter.
