The weather is a bit of a ‘tweener. It’s not quite fully raining. And it’s not quite fully freezing. It’s just… ambiguous. A matter of taste or preference or personal temperature and tolerance for cold or spritzing.

You check the weather on your phone. Or you stick your arm outside to test it out before deciding.

And then, you ask yourself the question.
