For Once, I Have No Complaints About the Weather
posted Wednesday, 30 April 2008
I had just finished an entry, when my computer crashed and it, naturally, vaporized the entire entry. I don't know why these things don't ever happen right after I make a post.
Anyway, anyone who knows me knows that I hate spring and summer because I hate hot weather. But compared to last year, this year hasn't been so bad so far.
Last year, we had days in the 90s starting in mid-March. This year, the highest we've seen so far is the very low 80s, and those have yet to be consistent. Rather, the average daytime temps have been in the upper 60s to low 70s. I can handle that, especially if the humidity is low and the nights are cool.
The last two days have been great with highs in the mid sixties and lows in the upper 30s and lower 40s, which I consider to be optimal sleeping weather.
Even the pollen-and-bird-shit season has been shorter and less intense this year.
There are some things I like about this time of year. I like having more hours of daylight to work with, for one thing. And I like my trees fully covered in leaves for two main reasons: it helps to screen my house from the view of passersby and the shade from the trees helps to keep my power bills lower in the summer.
It would be nice if the weather would stay like this all summer, but I know that's about as likely as finding an honest politician, so be prepared for my usual rants about the weather this summer.
How's the weather in your area?
