The article reflects on the benefits and cultural significance of cold plunges, contrasted with the current frozen state of the local pond. The author expresses appreciation for the seasonal changes in New England, lamenting the inability to participate in cold plunges while acknowledging the arrival of spring training. The excitement of the Red Sox's pitchers and catchers reporting signals hope for warmer days. This annual ritual serves as a comforting reminder that spring is approaching, bringing renewed life and energy after a prolonged winter.
Ultimately, then, I'm glad that we've returned to some semblance of normal seasonality around here this winter.
Ponds in New England are supposed to freeze in the winter. We're supposed to be so cold on February 11 that a drizzly, forty-degree March day seems like paradise.
