Typically, at this time of year, in Boston, you don't need an umbrella. Usually in mid-January, if there is precipitation, it comes in the form of big white flakes. When its snowing out, you just need a warm hat, a thick jacket and some decent boots. This is not a typical January...your father's January (or Oldsmobile, if you will).
Three days ago, it was 50 degrees and sunny. Its been mid-40's all week. I can't remember the last time ithe wind was brutal enough for me to complain about how brutal the wind was. Strange times in Beantown. So, having noticed the recent trend in temperatures, one might have purchased an umbrella, anticipating that, though the weather had been warm, it wouldn't always be dry.
I am not one of those ones. I have no umbrella. This morning, the raindrops are the size of snowflakes and I'm running to the bus in my "raincoat," sneakers and jeans. Now I am sitting on the bus in my "raincoat," sneakers and a denim colored, full length, soaking wet bathing suit.
I need an umbrella.
