Chill In the Year
On Thursday morning, it was a little brisk as I escorted the dogs to the car for their ride to pick up the newspaper.
Yeah, I’m still buying the Buffalo News even though the daily addition is now $1.50. (Warren Buffet needs additional monies). I may not be buying the paper much longer as it will soon be extinct...
...but it’s about the weather, not the paper!
I checked the temperature and it was an even 60. Still good, but my heart sunk a bit...
...how far off are the 20-degree days?
And there’s still time left in the good days ledger. Fall is a good season here in western New York, but there is that sinking sense of dread.
My Dad was fond of telling people that Buffalo has the best weather in the country, but people laughed at him.
He would explain.
No hurricanes or tornadoes. No mud slides or fires.
A few nasty snowstorms and that’s it.
As I grew older, I started to agree...
...but the extreme cold takes it out of me.
So, I can dread it coming. I have that right as a Buffalo native.
It warmed as the day moved along, and I saw a lot of photos of water filling the streets in North Carolina.
I thought of my sister-in-law sending a photo in April...
...the kids were in the pool...
...it was snowing here.
I don’t have the heart to taunt her back now.
