It was 70 degrees yesterday (21 C.), balmy, soft air, sweet breeze. In other words, weird. One of my core assumptions (clearly incorrect) is that December is cold.
It's not that unusual to experience a few incredibly warm and springlike December days here in this landscape where the weather is ever changing, ever unpredictable. Still, after almost ten years here, I am surprised when it happens.
I think of the weather as the emotional body of the earth, so expressive and compelling, completely bewildering, even to the meteorological professionals. But ... I'm not complaining. It's nice to put away the hat and gloves for a day, to wander around without shivering. In fact, I love the capricious weather here in the American midatlantic. I really do!
weather is the main reason i love the midwest
ReplyDeletewe went from 60 to 6 degrees in a few hours and windchills of minus 13 and now 4 inches of snow

That's so smart - the reason the midwest became the bible belt. Wow.

Grass is brown, sky is blue.
Yesterday was beautifully warm here in NYC, too, though a bit gray. I considered it a refreshing change and tried not to give in to my global warming paranoia. :)
ReplyDeleteHail in California day before yesterday, and I could see my breath when I went out yesterday morning.

Anyway, that song goes on a "strange" compilation with "Strange Boat" by the Waterboys.
oh my! We blogged about the same thing today! Even the use of the word "capricious" ! How cool is that? Speaking of cool we have 2-3 inches of snow in our forecast for overnight. I will have to see it to believe it tho.
