Pffffft, hits you LATE then! We've had snow on the ground for the past two weeks... but not enough to ski on, so it's just annoying.

Y'all can have it.

I can drive decently enough on the stuff, but too many others of the folks around here...well, they don't drive well in clear weather on dry roads, so...

Depends on where a body is.

It didn't stay pretty long in Brooklyn.

Or, to be fair, in the Hill Country in 2020.

Edit: 2021, excuse me.

I've slept since.

We would normally have it earlier, but you know...

*gestures to the clusterfuck of climate change*

... would be nice if we could do something about it, but as Mango Mussolini said "it's just a hoax made by the Chinese government".

We're finishing off an unusually warm October here. :|

It's been a surprisingly normal fall where I am. It's weird. Mind you mid-Fall has hit like a punch to the face, but that's how things go with season changes in Oregon. Weeks of upper 60s-mid-70s, then BTW GONNA BE 30/-1 TONIGHT LAWL.

We broke a local temperature record from 1946 today, so that's fun. (Well, it was actually lovely except for the doom part.)

As has been standard for at least 2 decades, this area is a constant game of darts. The weather is whatever number is randomly wants to be at any given moment, and will give no darns for logic.

We had 30C degrees temperatures here in October, which is "hilarious" since during August they did not break the 23C degrees.

Now we have a huge storm that might bring snow with it.

High on Saturday in Johnson City, TX, was 85°F / 29°C.
High yesterday was 75°F / approx. 24°C.
The high today is expected to be 43°F / approx. 6°C.
And it's raining.

For me, the weather's congenial.
