The daily writing prompt asks – Do you need a break? From what?
The easy answer is yes, I need a break and it’s from the weather. The feels like temp is 4 degrees and that is probably the warmest it’s going to be today. The 24-mph wind right now is expected to double which is going to make exposed skin dangerous. I really need a break from the wind over the next 12 hours so the power will stay on.
I also need a break from politics but taking one is dangerous because things move very fast right now.
I need to take a break from TV. I need to take a break from eating sweets. I need to take a break from negative people. I need to take a break from the routine. I need to take a break from being inside (when it warms up) and be outside with nature. I need to take a break from reading online and pick up a book more.

I also could use a break from this brutal winter.

Those three things worthy of taking a huge break from.

I, too, could use a break from this weather. I’ve been taking a break from the news, but you’re right about the pace at which stuff changes, I can’t stay away for too long.
