Mary kept thinking about her vintage dresses!
It’s January, and Alexa just reported it’s going to be 85 degrees today! I thought to myself, ‘Maybe we’ve had a pole reversal and summer came in like a boss!’ I half expected to see palm trees sprouting in my backyard and someone at the neighbor’s BBQ flipping burgers in a Hawaiian shirt.
So, naturally, I dove into the internet like a kid in a candy store, hoping to find the reason behind this meteorological madness. Turns out today’s historic high average is 69.5 degrees, the historic low is 48.8, and the landmark average daytime temperature is a cool 59.2.
After several minutes of manipulating my fingers and toes (I swear I’m not trying to summon a rain dance), I concluded that today is a whopping 36.8 degrees warmer than usual! At this rate, I should probably dig out my sunscreen and make a snowman out of ice cubes—because who wouldn’t want a frozen margarita in January?
