39 degrees, but the humidity is fairly high, producing that bone piercing
cold that permeates every coat, hat, sweater that you wear.
Winters suck. And it's only November second. Can't even enjoy my new boat
that I got today.

I really don't mid the winter weather. Well, as long as it's not 20-
with 35 mph winds.

It's the short days.

I don't like the short days.....


I used to love winters in Connecticut. Really. I lived about four blocks
from my grammar school, and about six blocks from my junior high, so
getting to school was never a problem. I only recall a couple of snow
days during all my years in New Haven. After school, we used to go
ice-skating - outdoors. And sledding. We lived a few blocks away from a
nice, hilly golf course that provided great sledding opporunities. Great
fun. I remember some cold days, but I don't remember them bothering me much.

The coldest I've ever *felt* was one week in Grand Rapids, Michigan,
when I was attending the state Democratic convention. Beautiful blue
skies, unbelievable cold. North west wind coming off Lake Michigan.

It was even colder the week I spent in Thunder Bay, Ontario, but...for
some reason it didn't feel that cold. I have no explanation for that.

I don't much like the *real* cold these days, and fortunately we don't
get a lot of it here in southern Maryland. Temps in the 20's are okay
with me.

Actually, I enjoy the seasonality. When we lived in Florida, I was bored
by the "winters."
