Yesterday was the first sunny day of the year and the first day of wintry temperatures. At first light yesterday, the temperature here was +5 degrees (F) with a windchill of -9 degrees. But, it apparently was an illusory moment.
Today, exactly 24 hours later, it was cloudy, the temperature was 39 degrees and rising, there were 19-mile-an-hour wind gusts, and more rain was predicted. Another wet, windy, and gray March-like day is in the offing. Our poor sick climate is calling for the nurse.
Nonetheless, let’s celebrate the brief arrival of winter yesterday with an image of Blue Hill’s “Hill” in the afternoon’s sun and Brooklin’s Great Cove under dusk’s waxing crescent moon.
