Back Home

It's amazing how quickly you fall back into routine after being away. I did keep the house neat for a couple of days, but beyond that it all feels the same.

I think it has to do with the temperature. When you go to a more tropical climate and then return to New York you notice two things: 1) IT'S FREEZING!!! 2) It's so grey, everything is grey and dirty looking.

Apparently most cold weather climes are the same, except, as noted, the Midwest has more snow. Since there was no great shift in climate other than a few degrees warmer, here in New York, the re-acclimation was seamless. I'm still freezing, and everything looks grey.

But the memories are toasty warm.

We miss you here in the midwest.

According to weatherbase.com, Michigan averages annual snowfall of 32.7 inches vs 30.2 inches for NY. Ooh, we in the Midwest suffer so much more! And anecdotally, since we live here, I think we have beaten the averages...

Umm,
I left NY there was no snow. I came to you there were quite a few inches. Thus more snow. ("as noted" referred to a previous post).
