Random Thoughts/Express Yourself...Part II

[petep9000]

Pouring rain in NYC today, washed away the little bit of white snow we had gotten yesterday evening. Today all grey...puddles, raw outside. Day before yesterday, frigid frigid cold that you thought your face would crack. Yesterday not as cold but there was snow, today rain. Winter in NYC now? Mostly rain. Occasional snow and ice (none last month,first time in 75 years there was no snow in Jan in NYC) alternating with cool, dry days.

When I got on the subway today (packed because no one wants to walk in the rain if they could help it) the train was a steam bath. So humid, that the windows in all cars were completely fogged up. The floor was all wet, salt, grime so you couldn't even out your bag down. Smooshed wet newspapers on the floor too, gross. If I were the conductor of the subway, I'd crank up the air con on a day like today, because it was so uncomfortable with all the moisture. The air con would have taken care of it, much like your defroster in your car. Don't get me wrong, I love NY. But, if the calendar says winter, then so be it. This rain is such a downer.
