New York City, October 16, 2013

★★ Not oppressive but repressed, dim and humid and of indeterminate temperature. It was not cool enough to immediately relieve the heat from a rushed shower and the bustle to get the preschooler out the door. The clouds, a semi-smooth gray, relaxed to a loose white webbing on blue by late morning, only to tighten again. Some blue remained, but the light was only cloud-light.
