How
cold is it out there? Well, it is March,
And
the end of winter is at hand; Springtime
Is
poised moderately in the wings. The temper-
Ature
fluctuates, up one day and down the next.
I
do not have a thermometer, so I have no
Reading
in Fahrenheit, Celsius or centigrade.
In
degrees of accuracy I cannot say. I would,
However,
estimate the early morning air hovers
Somewhere
between a light freeze and the thaw
To liquidity. It is by no means either a frigid
Alaskan
day or sun-kissed Caribbean scene.
From
where I reside, there is rather a prevailing
Midwestern
air out there. (No polar bear sight-
Ing
or mosquito swarming to report, no frozen
Arctic
blast nor warm wafting of humidified
Gulf
air either.) Then, just how cold is it out there,
You
may be asking? In stepping out with the pups
For
the first time this morning, and not being qual-
Ified
to speak in terms meteorologically, I must
Report
that the breeze in Kansas City today is from
The
North, and modestly bracing. As a layman, I
Should
liken it to a sudden splash in the face by
Tap
water, slightly chilled—decidedly awakening,
Except
without the wet.
