The wind means everything

I'm very sensitive to changes in the weather. (The weather report is the most important TV program in my world.)

I love Summer, tolerate Spring and Fall, and HATE Winter. Yes, Winter is beautiful. I love to watch it on post cards.

But Winter has to be endured, and of course some Winter days are better than others.
Today, for instance, I walked from the train station to the office - about one mile - without hat or gloves, despite a temperature of only 2-3 degrees above zero.
How was this possible?
Because there was no wind!

The wind, or the absence of it, is crucial.
Five degrees above and a fierce wind feels ten times colder than five degrees below on a still day.
So, plant more trees! They halt the wind!
