Today was a jeans-and-socks-open-the-windows-and-love-the-breeze kind of day. Midnight and I agreed that having the windows open was a beautiful thing. It has been unseasonably, unpleasantly warm and humid here for weeks - highs in the 80s with a couple of record-breaking days in the upper 80s. I am NOT a fan of this weather. One of the things I love about January and February in southwest Florida is the mild temperatures (low-to-mid 70s) and low humidity. Being able to open the windows and breathe fresh air is a beautiful thing. This year has been an exception. So, today was a beautiful day as far as I was concerned. The weather folks, however, are acting like this is Snowmageddon and the end of life as we know it. They make it sound like we're all going to freeze to death just because we have a few days of highs in the low 60s and upper 50s. Granted the lows are supposed to be in the low 30s for the next couple of nights. This is NOT a disaster: the fruit will be sweeter, some of the West Nile Virus bearing mosquitos (which were a huge deal in the news this week) will be killed off, the sweaters I don't get to wear very often will get some use, and I will be able to breathe easily for a few days. How is any of this bad? Oh, and for those of you who agree with the forecasters about the "terrible" weather, it will be in the mid-to-upper 70s by the middle of the week!
