Hello, my weather friends.

Can you feel it? Wait … yes … there it is.

Love is in the air.

How can I tell, you ask?

Sure, I am an incredible forecaster. Yes, I am totally in-tune with the environment. Of course I am omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent.

Also, advertisers tell me so. Ready or not, Valentine’s Day is here. The “holiday” comes every year on the 14th of February. (Except during leap years. In that case it still happens on the 14th … you just have an extra day at the end of the month to make up for forgetting to buy a gift.)

Anyway, as romantic as the day is expected to be, it also comes in the dead of winter. That means the trees are bare and brown. The grass has died and dried up. There are no new flowers blooming. Save for a fresh dusting of snow, it’s not the most visually stimulating season.

Of course, that’s just an opinion. What does the weather have to do with romance anyway? Take a poll around your office. Ask people what they think is the most romantic weather. I bet you’ll find a variety of answers.

Yes, the winter is drab. But on a cold and snowy day you might agree there’s nothing better than snuggling up to a warm fire with the one you love. Romantic? You bet.

But then there’s spring. Ahhhhh, spring. The flowers are blooming. The sun is shining. You can almost hear the birds singing. It’s a season of rebirth and renewal. Who wouldn’t want to fall in love among the fresh blooms?

Or, maybe summer is more your speed. You can’t deny the excited buzz when summer comes around. There’s a childhood innocence that may just have you searching for a main squeeze.

Finally, there’s fall. (For my money, no better time in New York City.) There’s a crisp chill in the air. Summertime memories are fresh in you mind as colorful leaves paint a beautiful backdrop for love.

Take your pick. You could probably make any weather event romantic.
