OK. It’s gonna be cold. I get it. The weather folks and the news folks, even me, have been breathlessly anticipating this onrushing arctic air. We do live here. This is a state which borders Canada and has no mountains to break the winds from the north pole. It’s gonna be cold.
Not always, not with global warming, but at times it is going to get chilly. This is one of those times. It feels oversold to me, too much huffing and puffing. Yes, it’s important that every one know the life threatening nature of the weather, I agree with that.
But. Hey, we’re all mammals here, right? Which means warm-blooded. And we’re essentially hairless mammals. Right? So. When it’s really cold, don’t go outside naked. We know cold for too long, with too little clothing is bad for us. Our bodies let us know. Pay attention to your body.
