SPRING?

It is just not right! It is not right to have to wear coats and gloves to get to school in the mornings (36 degrees) and some afternoons. It is not right to walk out of gymnastics in April to find it sleeting outside. It is not right to NOT be able to wear flip flops and capris in April. It is not right for the high to be 44 in April. Who says I'm living in the south? This is not the south I know and love. I didn't expect to be wearing shorts yet but this is crazy! I'm to thin skinned for this type of "spring" weather. Oh, I hope our next assignment is not in the north because boy and I in for a rude awakening. (I know we just really got here but always need to be planning the next move.) I'm hoping that come July I'll be loving the weather here and I will have forgotten my lost spring. The neighbors assure me by May it will be warmer. However, most people don't do much swimming til July because the water is too cold. I think swimming should be from May-Oct. Seems like I might have a long 4 years ahead of me. Retiring in TX is sounds better by the day.

From BRI: Snow has fallen in every state including Hawaii.
Based on normal annual temperatures, the coldest states are Alaska, North Dakota, Minnesota, Maine, Montana and Wyoming.(These states won't be making my top 10 list any time soon.)

Hang in there. You can do it. Just think of the little enging that could and tell yourself "I know I can, I know I can"..... I am with you. I wish it would warm up here. Your neighbors are right - you can't swim until July. You will have to settle for the indoor rec. center pools.

LOL, You got it bad Girlie! I miss winter temps of OK and TX but not the 100+ degrees for 2-4 months. Can't wait to show you our weird yet usually wonderful weather.
