Even though the calendar says today is the first day of spring, the winter weather decided to officially start in March so mornings are still chilly AF.

New York barely got any snow, and even though last week’s storm dumped a few feet Upstate, the NYC area had no accumulation. This past Sunday’s wind chill made it feel like 10°F even though it was in the low 30s.

I got back from a work trip to the sunny Galapagos Islands on the last few days of February and instantly regretted not having an actual jacket while waiting for my Lyft in 40°F weather. Now that spring is supposedly here, it feels like the arctic and I have little hope for the flower buds on the trees. 

I’m always hella cold (you’d think I’m a corpse from how icy my hands and feet get) so I put together a minimix of songs to listen to while wrapped in a warm blanket or winter sweater. Enjoy while we attempt a transition into spring.

1. Wintering, The 1975. Seems like Mother Nature is doing a ‘lil dance to this jingle.

2. Blowback, Galimatias. Wind chills be like…

3. Instantané, Paradis. If only it could instantly become spring.

4. Dive, Tim Atlas. Only if the water isn’t freezing.

5. In the Dirt, Wild Front. The flowers have to come from somewhere.

6. Stay Here, Henry Green. An ode to our favorite warm bodies ❤️

7. f a r a w a y, The Japanese House. Wishing the cold would go far, far away.

8. Great Escape, Washed Out. If only we could escape this crazy weather.

9. Tony’s Belated Breakfast, Birocratic. Here’s to a belated winter.
