winter...

Like an invalid coming up too quickly from illness, our fair city has been socked now twice with too much snow. Wobbly knees, icy hills, treacherous commutes. Hit us again, this time with cold, and we'll crumble further into ourselves.

I have kept clean laundry to be folded on the bed all day today. The call of the comfy and warm would otherwise have been too much to resist.

Tomorrow, we run around again; thank goodness for twenty year old down parkas, for fleece, and wool, and oil heat.

Yah, we're having a little WINTER this week. Cold comes next. Feb 2 is the date that the average daily high temperature starts climbing back up from the low thirties. We haven't seen the low thirties in several weeks. Being average would be just fine with me, as regards the weather, as soon as possible.
