Today's Forecast - Real Feel

It's fifty one degrees outside, but it feels like forty five. Rain is drip drop drizzling and it drenches like a dive. A cold wind chill is coming in, perhaps that's why it feels this way, or maybe because I'm splashing in puddles and you and the sun don't want to play. 1/24/2020

Thanks, Sandra. It does seem to convey that. I wrote this on a whim with laughter, as my husband and I joke about the weatherman stepping outside and saying, "It feels like..." You know what I'm talking about with the real feel temperature? We base this upon someone's feelings.

Kind of sad but very cute. Love how you did this and the ending, though a bit lonely, made me smile

Thanks Chris. I looked at today's forecast and this is what it said, "51 degrees, feels like 45," so I pondered of the discrepancy and wrote down a little jot. It was all in good fun.
