Let's hear it for sunshine..

The weather forecasters seem to be having a lot of fun these last few days.  They seem to delight in telling us about the wind chill factor and bandying about numbers like 25 below and even, gasp, 30 below but they never talk about sunshine.  Lets hear about the "sun warm factor". It was, according to it's built in thermometer, 10 degrees outside as I started my car to leave work today but the car had been sitting in sunshine all day and it wasn't too cold inside at all.  As I walked out of work, I stood and talked with a friend in the parking lot and it didn't feel too bad because the sun was shining down on us.  As I drove home I was delighted to see how much clearer the roads were than earlier in the day - thanks to all that sunshine again. Wouldn't you like to hear a weather report sometime that said "the high today will be 10 degrees but if you stand in the sunshine, sheltered from the wind, it will feel like 30 degrees."?  I would.
