Jumping 2 Winter?

When we returned from Greece, I wished that fall weather would arrive sooner than later to Munich. Someone misheard my request. Because here in Munich, we've jumped straight to winter. Today the high is only 45 degrees. It's so cold, in fact, that when I was planting a 2.49€ purple mum in the front entranceway this afternoon, my hands were painfully numb. Based on forecasts, it looks to warm-up a bit for Oktoberfest this weekend (still raining, however). But because we'll be inside a smoky tent on Sunday starting at 8:30 a.m., who cares?
