Acclimatizing


Today I felt like a true local; I went for a run this morning in the rain, in about 9°C weather.  Then I realized that I had on many more layers than the real locals who were out exercising in their t-shirts and shorts.  I was wearing:
  • Fleece leggings
  • A long sleeved shirt
  • A fleece jacket
  • A raincoat, with the hood up
  • Gloves
  • Wool socks

I’ll see how I’m doing next spring.  Speaking of spring, it’s April and it has snowed multiple times!  I would be horrified if I wasn’t so excited by seeing snow after multiple years of living in very hot weather.  Unfortunately with the cold weather, I really feel like we’re nearing the holidays in November / December.  This has the potential to feel like a very long year if that keeps up.  Somehow I don’t think H would object to having a pre-Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving dinner in June though.
