WINTER: The Secret to Thriving in the Darkest Season

LinkedIn presents. Welcome to the Interactive Response System from the National Weather Service Southern New England office located in Norton, Massachusetts. For the latest metropolitan area forecasts, please press one. Until recently, I was not someone who paid a lot of attention to weather forecasts. because I spent most of the last decade living in Los Angeles, a city that is known the world over for its relentless sunshine.

Of course, LA doesn't seem like a very sunny place this week. Vicious wildfires are scorching my old city. It's heartbreaking. It's also a really surreal contrast to my memories of living there. It really did feel warm and sunny, day after day, week after week, so constant that you'd blink and it felt like a whole year had passed you by.

But a few months ago, my wife and I moved to New England. Now, I obsessively check the forecast the way a day trader checks the markets. Today, sunny. Highs around 30. Tonight, mostly clear, lows around 14.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
