Welcome back to the Little Ice Age.

I know that climatologists will scoff at this, as will residents elsewhere on the globe, where this has been a hot summer.

But it's freezing here.

It's 56F as I type this out.

The average daily temperature here ought to be in the lower 80s, this time of year.  The average (nighttime) low around 45F.  Recently we just get up into the upper 50s and its cold.  I don't know hwat its dropping down to at night.  The predicted low was 50F for today, and its predicated to get up to 78F.

It's a lot like living in Laramie when I lived there.

It's also been super wet.

I read once that you see photos and illustrations of people wearing wool jackets, like U.S. Cavalrymen in the mid 19th Century, or vaqueros doing to the same, one of the reasons is that it was cold.  I was reminded of this as I was pondering wearing a wool coat to work, as I'm cold.
