I am not a fan of cold weather. Born in Puerto Rico makes me genetically predisposed for warmth. But wait, my mom loved the cold. Might have to rethink this. O.K. as most of my ancestors came from Spain and settled in P.R. 200 years ago so most of my DNA favors warm — not hot– weather. My mom was obviously a throw back to some ancestor from the Pyrenees Mountains.
All that said and done 58 degree temperatures in the middle of January are not right. New York plants need the cold to set flowers and fruit this summer. It just aint natural. The squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits and birds are still outside and they should be dormant. Climate change is messing us up.
Watch, since I have written this we will get an enormous blizzard next week.
