Not a great post title, but goes to the core of the power of adding a little heat as a catalyst. We got up to 41 yesterday and I think the high is supposed to be 38 today. It was dark driving this morning because, unlike yesterday, the road and landscape were not combined in one long expanse of reflective white.

It feels a little odd – the warmth and the clear roadways. Of course, all those lawns with deep snow and the piles at the side of the road are still there and anyplace not shoveled or salted is a rutted walk of slick terror. And, it is still February – only the middle of it really.

I would be bored myself reading this, but I am fascinated by the difference in the atmosphere some crucial degrees of Fahrenheit can make.

Now to prepare for the lesson in reverse.
