Where is this town located roughly? What time of year? Because where I am it ain't cold outside in the morning right now.

Call it...mmm...somewhere in northern america, roughly fall time. I was going to leave it somewhat vague, but the town is surrounded by a heavy pine forest, with a nearby lake and some low mountains. It's not a rural town, but it's not a city either. Developed, and gaining fame due to the other species now inhabiting it, but still somewhat unheard of.
