Bundle up: Sweater weather has arrived in Winston-Salem

We can just hear the “Saturday Night Live” sketch now — it’s time to grab a cozy knit and enjoy the weather in the Twin City.

Sweater weather? Yes, please.

Finally, sweater weather.

We’re starting to feel that chill in the air in Winston-Salem — especially as those morning + evening temps dip into the 50s and 40s. According to The Weather Channel, a comfortable 60° is considered “sweater weather” by North Carolinians.

Although our temps are fairly warm during the day right now, we know it’s only a matter of time before sweater weather is here more consistently. Whether this puts you in the mood for cozy, local activities or an autumn date, you’ll need a good sweater to keep you warm.

Of course, we recommend shopping small + local for your sweaters or — if you’re up for the challenge — buy yarn and make your own masterpiece.

Now, let’s shop to it:
