The transition into autumn brings vibrantly colored leaves, crisp morning air, cozy knit scarves and sweaters, pumpkins and wintery fare, and all things quintessentially fall. It also brings colder temperatures, dry and windy weather, and more time indoors where the heated air is dry and low in humidity.
