January or July?

We had a bit of a whiteout here today, but no snow was involved, alas. It rained all night--and if the temperature had been more appropriate to January, we would have been snowed in! But no: the rain continued, the sky stayed gray, the temperature remained just cool enough to be uncomfortable, and by midafternoon the fog off the river was so thick that there was no clear demarcation between earth and sky. If only all that white stuff had been snow! We could have stayed home next to a roaring fire instead of slogging through rain and fog and cool gray dampness. Tomorrow it's supposed to be even warmer. No fair! I want some winter!
