Today I overheard someone proclaiming today to
be the coldest day of the year. While this is true, the year just
started, so that title probably doesn't have much weight. Still, it was
indeed quite frigid this morning while waiting on the elevated subway platform.
Using a term such as "coldest" so early in the year made me realize
that we can get away with many phrases with superlatives like this at the beginning of the
year. Aside from coldest, I can also say today was the windiest day of
the year. Or how about driest? It doesn't even have to apply to
just weather. Today was my busiest day of the year; he's the happiest
person I've talked to this year; or she's the wealthiest lady I've met this
year. They might not hold the title for that long at all, but it was nice for that
brief moment at least!
