As usual, it’s sunny with nary a cloud in sight. The temperature is 12° C (that’s 54° F for you Americans). And every day in the weather forecast is supposed to be exactly like this, give or take a degree or two. This just really feels wrong. By my calculation, I’m 620 miles north of Ithaca! And 455 miles north of where I grew up in Nova Scotia!
