It was rather cool in my bedroom this morning when I woke up: 50 degrees on the "out" side of the window and 70 degrees on the "in" side of it. My cats' noses were literally cold to the touch! I actually had to get out a blanket to take the chill off while I watched CBS This Morning's tribute to Andy Rooney, who passed away Friday night.
As usual, I was multi-tasking while watching TV later and it occurred to me to check the weather where the rest of my family was this morning. What I discovered was rather surprising. Even though we are scattered to four corners of the continent, almost literally, we were mostly all within 9 degrees of each other, and all in the 50s! My parents in Maine were at 53.1; my nephew just outside of Boston was at 53.4; my sister, niece, and brother-in-law in Charlotte, NC were at 58; my other niece in Loma Linda, CA was the coldest at 50; and I was the warmest at 59.
My nephew in TN, however, broke the 50s barrier, coming in at 64. My other sister, along with her husband and in-laws, is in Florence, Italy today. And guess what? The temperature there was 59!!! I thought that was such a curious coincidence. I can't imagine that there will be too many times when we'll all be at roughly the same temperature at the same time.
