The unseasonably warm weather seems to be continuing. I haven't come out the house with a scarf or gloves since I returned last Tuesday. Saturday was the best day of all. My roommates Juleen and Sara and I went to SoHo to browse in the wool shops. As we walked up West Broadway, all the restaurants had their glass doors opened to the elements - they're usually bolted shut til May with a canvas awning covering the door to keep out the chill. People were dining at sidewalk tables, laughing and enjoying the weather and especially the atmosphere. Brazilian music and delicious smells wafted out on to the street. In every way it was springtime.
Let's hope this keeps up!

Blech - global warming!

Dang. It must be colder here in GA than it is up there.
This morning it was 31 degrees when I left the house, according to NPR. The high today was 51. And it was windy.
Weird.
Clearly it is not going to keep up...as shown by the snow today and 35 degree weather.
I was also in SOHO on Saturday and ate a burger at an open windowed restaurant. I did not, however, buy wool.
I loved the weather on Saturday, it was a perfect day. Wish I could have been in SOHO, it seems to have been the popular spot.
Too bad for the cold coming in...still don't mind it. It should be cold is winter!
Then there's Saudi Arabia where it's the coldest and rainiest winter for years and years. It's all relative of course. Yesterday's high of 59 and low of 46 wouldn't be too bad in most places. However, with the 30 mph wind, the wind chill was about 30 degrees in the morning and never got above 45. The day before, it was 52 degrees and pouring down rain at 5:00 in the afternoon. Makes you forget that last summer the average high for July and August was 114! I like the weather to be as cold as possible in the winter. That way it purges me of the heat, so I'm ready for another summer, more or less - who's ever ready for that kind of heat? & don't forget it's humid as well giving heat index readings commonly above 140!
it's cold here now as well. i expect i'll be getting a phone call from Jonathan tomorrow to let me know snow showers are predicted
Jonathan must be delighted with the four days of snow, sleet, and freezing rain in Dallas including the 3-inch snowfall on Tuesday. He never fails to check the weather in Dallas.
