The temperature in New York City has been above 95 for four straight days, and threatens a fifth tomorrow before finally “cooling off” to a “chilly” 89 on Thursday.  Right now it’s 101 outside.  It’s so hot outside (how hot is it?) that the snow in this photo is actually melting as I type this.

When I took this photo in Coeur d’Alene, ID, the temperature was hovering just under freezing, and I was out walking around wearing a lightweight jacket, jeans, sneakers, and no gloves.  I was cold, for sure, but looking back that sounds quite heavenly.  For those of you dealing with the heat today, hopefully this photo will remind you that as sure as it’s hot out today, it will be cold again.
