Weather

With temperatures projected to be in the upper 50s/low 60s for the next week, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Goddess (or whoever controls the weather) for the terrifically temperate autumn that New York City has been blessed with.

In past NYC autumns, my little Houstonian heart began to whine for a cold Thanksgiving and Christmas season. Because if you don't get winter in Houston in November and December, it will never come! But then I lived through the NYC winter of 2002-2003. Never fear, long tall Texan: winter will come, oh yes it will, and you will wear long underwear into April. And then you will be grateful for a November 19th when you can wear a light fall jacket.

So thank you, weather Goddess. I appreciate your gentleness.

I never can imagine living in a place so cold, but I think that's just a failure of my imagination.

Not at all! I couldn't have imagined it either, not the specifics, anyway. I would have laughed had anyone ever told me that I would one day be able to tell the distinct difference between 29 degrees and 35 degrees.

please keep up the warm weather.
living on the west coast has spoiled me forever on tempatures below 65.
