Today, as this is written, the temperature is 24* with a windchill of 14*. Tonight, it is expected to be pretty cold, too, with windchills below zero. If that weren’t bad enough, this weekend in New York and Long Island, it is expected to reach -15*!
Brrrr. Now THAT IS COLD!!
As we have seen over the last few years, many people have moved to warmer climes to escape the winters of Long Island and the Northeast. Many have moved to the Sunshine State in this quest, or at least have become snowbirds.
But this winter, Mother Nature played a dirty trick, and showed us all that we can’t outrun the force of weather. Instead, we are relearning that age-old lesson, “You can’t fool Mother Nature.”
No matter how hard we try.
Even in Central Florida, the best it will be is in the low sixties, and overnight temperatures in the thirties. If will gradually warm up, even in colder parts of the country by next Friday.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day. To warm your heart, at least.
A few days later, Mardi Gras and Ash Wednesday will kick off the Lenten Season and Spring Training will be upon us.
Then, we will soon forget how the month started, leaving all the bitterness of winter in our rear view mirrors, and watch as Spring and warmer weather draw closer.
So, take heart, My Friends; it WILL get better. Just remember how tough this winter was when temperatures climb into the 90s in July, and how much you prayed it would warm up in February.
Meanwhile, stay warm and be safe.
