Mother nature seriously needs to get a new alarm clock or something. Maybe a fancy new PDA. (Or maybe she’s got a PDA, but doesn’t know how to use it.) In any case, this is getting crazy.
On Monday it was 90 degrees (F) on my porch during the middle of the day.
Yesterday it was supposed to get up to 80. It only got up to maybe 68. Today isn’t looking any better.
Everyone around here (myself included) had been complaining that it was time and past time for autumn-like weather to begin. It had been very, very warm lately - mid 80’s in October. That’s just not right.
And then it just changes, literally overnight. WTF? I thought this sort of crap was only supposed to happen in New England.
Argh. Well, at least it’s cooler out now and I can stop running the air conditioning! My guess now is that in 3 weeks it’ll be snowing. And then we’ll have another week of nearly 70 degree weather… in January.
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, enjoy the weather, wherever you are.
I think this image says it all:
Now, some people might drop in some lyrics from any one of several songs that deal with “heat.” You might say “it’s getting hot in here/so take off all your clothes” or maybe “the heat is on, on the street” (depending on how old you are). Me, I’m too much of a geek, so I just say “Yaaooouch! Seafood soup!” (Thanks to Zany Video Game Quotes for the link.)
So, it snowed, then it rained for 4 days straight, and then BAM! Spring!
I guess Mother Nature finally got the memo.
Of course, in my personal opinion, I think it’ll be nice & spring like for about 2 weeks (max), and then we’ll be right into summer with the hot weather & everything. But that’s New England weather for you.
Why, yes, that is snow.
Why, yes, it is April 15th.
No, I don’t know what’s wrong with the world. It’s just crazy.
I think Mother Nature is drunk.
It’s April 12th and it’s going to snow tonight. They’re saying it might be a “nor’easter-like” storm.
Wonderful. It’s been in the 30’s for like the past 2 weeks. Where the hell is SPRING? I mean, yeah, it’s my least favorite season (allergies, mud, etc.), but still, even I get tired of winter after a while. Y’know, like after nearly 6 months of the year.
I love New England weather for the variety, but this is getting old. I have a feeling that we’re going to basically miss out on spring entirely this year - we’re just going to jump straight into summer. There’ll be snow on the ground, and then 2 days later it’ll be 80 degrees out, and that’ll be it, it’s summer. It’s like someone is saying “Mother nature, it’s springtime!” and she’s all hung over and just waves her arm around and says “mnnnn - just let me sleep a bit longer…” and suddenly the weather goes all crazy.
C’mon mother nature, get out of bed, grab a cup of coffee and get back on the job. You slacker.
