Winter Arrives in Northport!
Yes, really! I know there have been a few false starts so far this year, but as I am writing this, it is now 8 degrees F and falling, ( that’s -13 degrees C, if you happen to use that system). Not much snow to go along with it, although there were snow showers all throughout the day today; it just didn’t amount to much. Which is OK; saves the trouble of shoveling, not to mention, makes the roads much safer. But these temperatures, combined with some high winds, (the winds of Thor?), make for a pretty Jack London-esque experience. So, maybe my cat Ginger predicted the weather accurately after all, with her fur-forecast, (see entry below for January 7, 2007, for info about that). In any case, you can be sure the boys at Kyle’s B&B are huddling around the fireplace, wrapping themselves in quilts, and feasting on Kyle’s gingerbread cookies right about now! Wherever you happen to be…..stay warm!
it is FREEZING! My mother just sent an e-mail reminding me that she and my father are heading to Florida for three weeks but that I am supposed to visit her in Long Island soon. How cruel is that?

Hey, Michelle, all I can say is…try to embrace the cold, and enjoy it while it’s here, (if you possibly can!). In my opinion, as long as your heat is working, this is MUCH preferable to the insane high temps & humidity of summer on Long Island. Now, about heat…I’ve been seeing lots of new reports of many people here in the NY area, mostly in the city, who are living in places without heat. In this weather! My prayers go out to you, and I hope everyone reading this says a little prayer for everyone trapped in the cold tonight.

Greg,
Often we forget about those who have to either live or work in the cold. We sit in our homes/apartments with our heat on and complain about the weather. I have been very fortunate in my life. I have never been hungry or had to live in the cold.
For those who do, may we be ready to help. Whether it is by giving a coat or some financial aid to a shelter.
Thanks for the timely reminder.
