Snowed again yesterday and today's high is only supposed to be 28f. The extended weather forecast says we may hit the 40's next week. At least my booties I bought last year are getting a lot of use.

Well, contrary to what people think, we do have two seasons here, winter and summer. Winter is from June to December, and Summer is from January to May. The temperature doesn't change, nor really does the day light period (living in the tropics), but the rain sure does. Winter is when it rains frequently, and summer, when it stops. Right now we are at the end of summer and it is getting DRY, but it is wonderful time for riding dirt roads, that are normally axle deep in clay.
But rain is wonderful too, for when you wish to be cool on the lastre and paved roads.
Sorry though, we think it is cold, when we have to put socks on...

In the Boston area, warm days have been few and far between thus far. That east wind refuses to quit, and it is unusually strong this year. Well inland, they were basking in mid 70s yesterday, but those of us in the Boston area were shivering. Here, it can be in the mid 50s, but with that east wind, feel like it's in the 30s. This time last year, we were getting well up in the 70s by now,
with some 80 degree days.
Bring on the summer.

We went from Winter to Summer down in the south over here. Don't know what happened to spring.
Temps just hitting the 70's and the wife was in the pool for the first time this year yesterday. Today expected 70's again but for the rest of the week it goes downhill with High 50's and a bit of rain and more wind. Spring may be just round the corner.
