After a warm morning, we had a chilly afternoon and a windy one.
But spring in Washington can be elusive and fickle, especially in February, when it is also precocious and premature.
So by 1 p.m. the mercury had skidded to a more typical Feb. 18 reading of 45, and in that zone it spent most of the daylight hours. On Friday, we might wish to say, spring was gone with the wind. Of all of Friday’s meteorological components, the wind seemed least likely to be ignored. As of 4 p.m. the day’s average wind speed clocked in at more than 20 mph.That seemed to squelch spring.Pauses did appear.
But then, like an earnest and unfulfilled orator, the wind seemed to add an “and furthermore,” and its battering resumed.It was the bright sun of a day almost exactly two-thirds of the way from the darkness of the winter solstice to the buoyant hope of the spring equinox.
