How ugly is the weather today? It is so ugly that I closed the shutters no sooner than I opened them in the morning. In fact, I did not even open them fully before I decided to close them shut again. It was foggy out there. It was drizzling. It was gloomy. It was blustery. It was chilly. God bless the heavy shutters that keep me blissfully ignorant of the weather for as long as it takes it to change for the better. That is how ugly it is today.
