It's Too Effing Cold

The weather service said is was only 55°F (not quite 13°C) on the walk back form the Metro, but it felt colder. My unlined Goretex rain jacket was not adequate, and I was glad to find a pair of fleece-type gloves I'd forgotten I had in the pockets.

Honestly, 90°F in April and 55 in May. I want a refund on this bogus weather. Spring is usually my favorite time of year.

I shudder to think of what this is doing to the local fruit farms. Local strawberries are usually a big thing in June. And it's too cold to put in tomatoes, which would normally be growing well by now.

The weather in Boston is doing much the same stupidly cold thing and I am terrified that we are going to catapult forward into the dog days without anything resembling a real spring. Even in an age of climate change, I feel it should still be possible to have a balmy day, just once in the season, come on.

Global one 1 skeptics 0 lol XD Same happening in Japan the cherry blossoms bloomed late here and weren't as beautiful as usual because the leaves came out at the same time. Last years autumn was skipped too. It went straight from hot humid summer and then to winter we had like one week of nice autumn weather and then it was fricking cold!
