The fall season officially ends when the winter season begins, which is on the Winter Solstice on December 22nd.
This, the darkest day of the year, is also referred to as mid-winter. That
peoplemedia in the US and Canada insist on calling it the "Official start of winter" doesn't make it a fact. There is no official start of winter written into some sort of constitution, so stop mixing this astronomical event with seasonal limits.
