Along
with a new year came a day of cold winter wind. The barometer is on the rise
after the storm of two days ago, and we look forward to a stretch of cold
January temperatures with blustery days and clear, still nights.
We are
assaulted by a January wind unlike a summer breeze. I’m not referring to the
temperature, of which the difference is obvious enough. The winter wind presses
against with more force in a way that no comparable summer breeze can muster.
The physicists will tell us that cold air, being more dense, has more molecules
in a given volume, and so a twenty mile per hour winter breeze in every sense
hits us with more punch. I believe them.
