Where's Global Warming When You Need It?

Some of you may have heard that yesterday tied the NYC record for the coldest day in August, EVER. Now, I don't mind this, in fact, I love it. Fall in New York is simply the best time and place to be anywhere period. As the weather cools, so many quintessential New York activities begin. Octoberfest and Christmas carols at Zum Schneiders; ice skating in the Park; the fireplace at Rolf's; Halloween in the East Village; the shop windows on 5th; the fall fashion everywhere. It's great. The tighten here needs to be levied against the weather Gods for teasing us so. It's going to be in the 90's by the weekend, totally erasing the memory of the dark khakis, pencil striped shirt, deep blue tie, and grey sweater vest I was rocking yesterday. I miss it already.
