Toronto

Our first block of warm days this spring; yesterday was about -1 with a wind-chill factor of about -15, or so it seemed.
Today is +10, clear sky, sunny etc, and yet half the pedestrians are walking around with thick coats, mittens, large woolen hats, and scarves held tight across the face, as if it is still Antarctic winter.
It seems to me that one segment of the population clings to winter in the form of clothing until heat-wave time; as if they are reluctant to let go of a chance to complain about how cold it is.
It's spring, folks; open your coat and feel the sun-warmth come through your shirt onto your belly.
