40 degrees

Why is it 1:30 AM and only 40 degrees outside? Why didn't I have to put mittens or a winter coat on to walk the dogs? How come my horses don't need their blankets for the first night in a month? Why is my formerly tundra-like paddock turning slushy and brown? It's winter, goddammit, what the fuck?

What are you doing, New England, you sneaky creature?
