There is no such thing as bad weather

[Joy Beeson]

But last Friday, "adequate clothing" was a cute little red overcoat
that Nissan calls "Versa", and on Wednesday night, my only adequate
outfit had a street address.

Climatic relativism: "Well, the weather here isn't at all bad, considering
it's Ontario and December."

Given the crusty, lumpy ice on the road, I had to walk to the dentist today. It's not very far, but still, it's the first time I've not biked there.

Today was actually worse than some of the other days. I have to go
through a park on my commute to work and that was very icy. But at
least it's warming up here in NYC. After a few weeks in the 20s, it's
actually supposed to be 60 on Sunday. Spring is coming, and we haven't
even started Winter yet.

The weather here is like a fever: it's gonna get worse before it gets
better. On average, round about 25 January, the temperature begins to
moderate. We will still get the occasional morning on which it will drop to
below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, but the days will be bright and warm enough that
I will consider the curse to have been lifted.
