Despite my aforementioned raging hangover headache, yes, my non-alcohol related headache, I’m working frantically to get my weekend chores completed. While ferrying trash and recyclables (hey, I’m nothing if not environmentally conscious) from my inner sanctum to the appropriate cans outside, I can’t help but notice the temperature has taken a serious nose-dive from the pleasantly balmy weather we had yesterday, but, in retrospect, not unlike the wintry weather we had just last week.
To which I say, for the love of god(dess?), Mother Nature, pick a season and stick with it! Please. I’m begging you.
Welcome to a reality of global warming – erratic weather cycles.
Actually, here in Aotearoa New Zealand, we’ve always experienced “unseasonal” weather. Keep in mind that we’re in the southern hemisphere, our seasons are the reverse of the northern hemisphere, and where I live we see a smattering of snow only once every 10 years or so. But we’ve actually had snow fall on Christmas eve.
It’s supposed to be autumn right now, but our magnolia trees have started blooming as have some of our camellia trees.
I try to explain this to people, but they’re just like, oh, it’s cold…where is the global warming? I hate stupid (or rather, deliberately obtuse) people.
I so agree 🌪🔥💥☄️☀️❄️!
We’re on the seasonal roller coaster here, too, Wendy. Tired of the swings!
I’m with you. It was 27 and snow, when I got up this morning.
