Snow snow snow, it is way too early for this. All week, every conversation has been about the weather and the stock market, two things we cannot control. I have to stop participating, I can’t listen to myself talk about the weather for the next 5 months.

I have noticed that people who live in more temperate climates never talk about the weather, it has minimal impact on day-to-day life. Here, for about half the year, as the poet said, “this is a country where you could die simply from being outside.” What the heck are we doing here?

I am staying inside today.
