January Event: A change in the weather
At sunrise on the morning of the fifteenth, those who turn on the television or radio for the morning news are greeted first by the cheery chatter of weather reporters saying that it is unexpectedly warm already. Those who are already awake, making deliveries or readying classrooms or heading home from a long night of work, shrug off their coats and look at one another amazed.
As the sun climbs the sky, astonishment prevails. At noon, the snow is all melted. The beach is bright and balmy.
It's about thirty degrees Celsius, ninety Fahrenheit -- hot summer weather, though the length of the days doesn't change.
And it doesn't get cold again.
Make a post to tell us how your character responds to, copes with, or makes use of a month of summer in January. The tag is "heat wave." We will refrain from pointing out that this would be a great opportunity to post pictures of everyone in swimwear, because we're just that classy. Have fun!
