Now that we’ve dipped our toes into spring, it is time to say farewell—for now. Over the past three(ish) months, this newsletter has brought you ten original essays and reported stories about cities and places in the wintertime.
ICYMI:
Marianela D’Aprile on New York City’s subways as temperatures drop
Kate Wagner on inappropriate outerwear and friendships built with comfort
Becca Journey hates Hyggemania—bad vibes only in a time of crisis
Lina Tran’s sojourn with an urban arborist, pruning Milwaukee’s urban orchards
Martha Bayne on shoveling as mutual aid (and why it shouldn’t be)
Colleen Hagerty visits a Northern California community to observe a controlled burn
Justin Duyao on shelter (the noun) and sheltered (the policy)
Aubrey Calaway’s audio story that documents silence throughout Houston’s deep freeze
Bridget Shirvell reflects on radiators—updating the cozy to reduce her carbon footprint
Virginia Hanusik’s photo essay, documenting recovery season on the Gulf Coast
Each story was accompanied by an original illustration or photography.
We want these next few months to stretch before us, to hold us tight, and, when it is time, to gently let us go—back into those darker seasons.
When that happens, I hope you’ll hear from Weathered in Season 2.
Thank you for reading and for your support.
