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.<\/p>\n
On Monday it was 90 degrees (F) on my porch during the middle of the day.<\/p>\n
Yesterday it was supposed to get up to 80. It only got up to maybe 68. Today isn’t looking any better.<\/p>\n
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<\/strong>. That’s just not right.<\/p>\n And then it just changes, literally overnight. WTF? I thought this sort of crap was only supposed to happen in New England.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, enjoy the weather, wherever you are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mother nature seriously needs to get a new alarm clock or something. Maybe a fancy new PDA.
