So, we're not connected to the Internets (any of them) at home yet, and I'm mostly way too paranoid to dare post from work, or even from friends' houses. In the meantime, though, I'm grabbing a tiny chance to let you know how poorly I'm adapting to my new environment.
Yesterday, the library steps were powerwashed. At the end of the day, when I emerged blinking into the sunlight (after a long afternoon of wrestling with archaic terminology and shelving systems whose arrangement owed more to seismic safety considerations than to intellectual coherence), I noticed the brick pavement was wet.
And I automatically twisted my heel against the surface, to check for ice.
I'll trade places with you. It's about 5 degrees here.

Same here! It's currently 5 degrees with a brand new foot of snow!

Well, honey, welcome to your new home. Good luck getting unpacked and reconnected, cause we miss you!

I moved from Vermont to Florida to go to graduate school. I don't think I ever adjusted to the difference as I always expected it to be cooler when it was dark out or after a nice rain storm. It does get better though, there were things that I learned to love about Florida. (I must admit, I no longer live there and I am much happier back in the land of 4 seasons).
Wishing you the best of luck and happiness.
