Something to Think About

Tweet

There isn't a post about the weather that I read about the strange warm weather we're having this time of year. Where I live we have four seasons - Summer, Spring, Fall, and Winter. In summer we're more than happy to have the season extended when fall begins. No one screams about how late fall is or how warm it still is. In spring we look forward to warmer days and the flowers peeking out of the ground. Yet fall and winter seem to take a bad rap. We're ready to start fall as soon as school starts, even though summer still has three weeks. Though like I said, no one is hurrying the colder weather, we're oohing and aahing over the beautiful fall colors. And then it happens. November gets here and we're all decrying the temps and wishing for or against snow. Fall started on September 23rd this year. Like every other season it runs for three months. That means winter starts on December 22. We're still in fall for another two weeks. We should still see warmer temps, just like we see those temps remaining the same in the other seasons. I know that as soon as November hits I start thinking about snow. I start looking for it as early as Halloween and definitely by Thanksgiving. Yet it's still the middle of the fall season. It shouldn't be real cold yet. We shouldn't have snow on the ground yet. So when you look outside and see green grass and feel the warmth of a beautiful FALL day, remember, it's not winter yet.
