It's too bad really because I am going to need those gloves in the coming days and weeks really. Plans to keep our apartment heat off until absolute necessity forces us otherwise has already failed. How do you not turn on the heat when the temperature bottoms out at 17 degrees overnight? Yes, 17 degrees and we aren't even at double digits yet for the monthly dates. For those of you keeping track, that is a good 13 degrees below our normal LOW temperature for this date. Ouch.
So there has to be an upside to all of this recent cold weather right? Wrong. People like me feel cold and want snow. As per usual, I will not get what I want.
Our little clipper storm that was potentially going to drop a quick 1-3 inches on us tomorrow night will actually be completely dried up by our unseasonably cold air. That's strike 1 for this cold. That big storm I briefly mentioned (or did not mention, I am too lazy to look) early this week is actually going to be "blocked" by our cold high pressure to the north and move up the Hudson Valley, in the process giving the Midwest a killer early season snow storm. We get rain. Heavy rain. And a brief warm up to 50 degrees on Sunday and Monday. Strike 2. After Monday, (almost reminiscent of an uninvited guest inviting themselves over again immediately after they just left), we get a bigger blast of cold air. And this time it will be REALLY cold. I am talking high tempertaures in the low 20's with overnight lows in the single digits to even below 0. And whats on tap storm wise for next week? Nothing. Just dry, cold, windy air. Strike 3.
Ponies.
