Brief, Intense Cold Spell Here

Winter has finally arrived here in Gainesville with drastically colder temperatures. Last night, accompanied by a very strong, cold northwesterly wind, it dipped down to the upper 20's. Tonight's low may dip to 21 or lower, a Gainesville record low for January 4th. Tomorrow's highs probably won't reach 60, and then at night it will dip down to freezing again.

It's funny, and a little sad at the same time: for most of the year, I complain about how hot it is. Then, the cold hits and I almost instantly wax nostalgic for the heat. Still, this cold spell does help me in that it keeps allergens out of the air, something that I unfortunately am susceptible to.

Not to mention the fact that it keeps the grass stunted in my lawn!
