From London Weather Notes by Paul Nelson
Paul Nelson writes from London about English climate as dull yet varied this spring. He details dormitory life on a top unheated floor, cold draughts, and occasional snow, contrasting Iowa winters with London's temperate yet persistent chill. He jokes on headlines about cold waves and notes a slowly acclimating Midwestern perspective.
