It’s time to break out the oversized sweaters and start stocking up on pumpkin-flavored everything. Fall is officially here! Thursday morning kicked off with social media posts galore celebrating the popular season.

Even Google is celebrating with a new animated doodle:

Even though the fall season brings cooler weather, most in the Kansas City metro area will have to wait until next week to really feel it (See Gary Lezak's forecast). But that’s not stopping many die-hard fans:
I don't care that it's 82 outside. Chili is on the stove and pumpkin candles are lit. #FirstDayofFall ???

And why would it? Fall has tons of great things to offer. Like the ever-popular pumpkin spice latte.

And once the weather cools down, you’ll have those nice, crunchy piles of leaves to play in.

Plus, let’s not forget about Halloween.

On the flip side, the new season does mean we’re getting closer to winter.
