It’s as though Mother Nature is bi-polar. Literally. The polar winds have come down from Canada and frozen us once more. New England weather can be sunny and 70 one day and snowing, windy and cold the next. Typical baseball weather.
While the days are getting longer, so is the winter. Last winter’s record snowfall had a good excuse for ongoing cold and snow. This winter not so much. We had maybe 23″ of snow. In spurts. No real shoveling for me this winter. I let the sun do the work. It seemed as though Spring was going to arrive early. Not so fast. Last weekend it snowed. This week, it’s been 24 degrees at night. I finally got the aching, sneezing, coughing, stuffy nose I had avoided all winter. Sudafed take me away.
Desperately trying to keep warm I wrap myself in my World Series Red Sox blanket, which, opening day in Cleveland was postponed due to snow. Oh, baseball season. It can’t come any sooner, and yet, I recall opening day at Fenway in years past. 35 and rainy, flats, no socks. Big mistake. That was the last time I did that!
Now, I will watch from my computer at work. I’ll wait until July when it finally warms up!
