At the risk of bringing up a taboo subject, I have to ask: Have you noticed how cold it's been lately?
I hate to say anything because it's February in Vermont, after all. Cold weather is no surprise. And you can't complain about it, especially if you're a flatlander; there are too many natives around who will cheerfully advise you to move somewhere warmer -- specifically, back to where you came from.
Not that Vermonters like the cold. They just don't talk about it, because it doesn't do any good. But everyone is suffering. Even if you choose to use words like “brisk” and “bracing” when “deadly” would work better, you can't deny this weather stinks.
It can affect you in numerous small ways. Maybe you “forgot” to drag out your recycling last week. Or perhaps you secretly wondered if the video store, post office and redemption center might consider installing drive-through windows. Or maybe you've noticed that lately, rather than skiing or snowshoeing, your only form of outdoor recreation is jump-starting your car.
