(14,106 posts)The agency sent us Rena.... and she was wonderful. In her 70's. She was a sergeant in the Jamaica army and then moved to the U.S. with her family. She owned a house in Jamaica and planned to move there when she retired. Lynn was going to be her last client and then she would retire.
Sundays were the best, when we would cook breakfast together. I would do the eggs, Rena would do bacon, sausage and grits.
After Lynn passed, we would have her over for supper or afternoon tea/coffee. She lived about 5 miles away in East Orange. She would also visit her mom in Brooklyn and sometimes stay there.
Then came covid. She went to stay with her mom. That was the last we heard from her. We tried finding what happened to her. The staff at her apartment building had no information. The nursing home agency had no contact after she retired. So we guess she was one of Covid's victims.
I think of her every Sunday morning, when I am frying eggs.

dflprincess
(28,774 posts)that was, as Ocelot notes in a post below, Minneapolis tends to have a dry cold & Buffalo was damper.
*My family lived there for several years after my dad was transferred out there (Hamburg, to be exact).
La Coliniere
(1,362 posts)With the wind blowing across Lake Erie the air is bound to get more humid. Lately the cold has been kind of dry, but when the humidity kicks in you can feel it in your bones and its not pleasant. Thinking its going to be another erratic winter, just like the last 3 when most of the lake remained free of ice because of the wobbling jet stream. A direct result of climate change. With Lake Erie not freezing over, the threat of severe lake-effect snow remains high. When it ices over, the snow machine shuts down.
Ocelot II
(124,343 posts)Reminds me of my dad when he retired to Tucson, Arizona. One hundred and twenty degrees and he would say it's not too bad, it's a dry heat.
Ocelot II
(124,343 posts)I've never been so cold as I was one winter afternoon in Chicago - it was barely below freezing but there was a humid wind coming off the lake and it cut to the bone. Humidity makes both heat and cold a lot worse. In a little while I'll bundle up and go for a pleasant walk in the dry cold. As they say in another cold place, Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær. (There is no bad weather, only bad clothing.)

(33,747 posts)Constantly dripping sweat gets really old after a while. I'm about to head out for a walk, and those are much more pleasant now. The same goes for yard work. Hopefully, it's enough to knock back the fire ants and other pests, too. We need a freeze for the peach crop, and lots of other plants around here need the cold to bloom/set fruit.

(96,513 posts)And it's warmed up overnight from +11F!
And the sky is clear for the first time since last Wednesday! I might see stars and whatever else is in the sky tonight!
Im still in northern Virginia. Im supposed to fly out tomorrow morning in the the middle of a snow storm that should have 4 to 5 inches on the ground by then.
That should be an adventure.
I feel for you. Last spring I flew to the east coast, for the eclipse, and got stuck in a snowstorm at Newark... for 27 hours. Once I got to my destination everything was good but getting there was far from pleasant.
Have a safe and pleasant journey!

Good thing--it reduces the population of some unpleasant bugs.
Bad thing--it kills off the population of some very pleasant plants.
