Do I Wear Boots or Flip Flops?
You wake up in the morning and you wonder whether you’d be more comfortable in pants or shorts. On Sunday morning, you can be wearing tank tops but by Monday, it’s back to snow boots and bundling up with coats and gloves. We’re all starting to think this is mother nature’s way of punishing everyone who voted for Donald Trump.
No one seems to understand what is happening with our weather recently. School started and we were still able to wear shorts to the football games. Our warm weather extended until early November with few cold, windy days. The first snow just barely coated the grass in early December. It was an easy winter, cold but not a whole lot of snow. Then for a week or so, mid-February, it was in the high 60s and everyone was in shorts! We all got to thinking Spring came early until not even a week later, the ground was covered in fluffy, white snow again. Not only has it put my sleep schedule off, but it has killed all of the plants that are kept outside in the winter.
On Monday, it resembled a blizzard outside and continued to snow all day and some on Tuesday. By Wednesday, a majority of the snow was gone and it was in the upper 40s by the afternoon. Then, the week ended with rain, which was pretty nice considering it’s been freezing for awhile. This past week is shown by the pictures below. (March 13-17, 2017)
Not that I’m complaining about warm weather in the middle of February, but it is sort of getting confusing. You never know what the weather is going to be like. The next thing we know, it will be snowing in the summer and we’ will have to change all of our seasons to S’winter.
