It's Not A Delorean, But It Still Goes Back In Time

If, like me, you park in an underground parking garage, one odd experience you will have is that the atmosphere in your car will not change as fast as the air outside.  For instance, if you're out driving on a hot, humid day, your car will have hot, humid air in it.  If the weather changes overnight to be cold and breezy, you'll still have hot, humid air in your car.  So you'll go from your warm apartment, walk through the underground garage - which is always cool and damp - get in the warm interior of your car, drive somewhere, say still wearing a t-shirt.  When you get where you're going, you get out of the car, and only then realize that it's freezing out.  It's particularly a problem in the spring when the temperature can fluctuate a lot.  So if you see someone in the next few weeks driving around wearing clothes that don't seem right for the weather, just keep in mind that it's probably still yesterday in their car.
