Weather or Not

I made a pun in the title of this post. Did you like it? It takes the phrase “whether or not” and replaces whether with it’s homonym, weather because the post is going to be about the weather. Get it? I feel so friggin’ clever I could spontaneously combust*!

We’re supposed to get a nor’easter this week. The forecast yesterday said 3-6 inches of snow on Wednesday into Thursday. I just checked the accuweather website and it’s still calling for some snow on Wednesday but no real accumulation. Then Thursday into Friday we’re still looking at 3-6 inches.

I am taking my father to a doctors appointment on Wednesday and I am working in the office on Thursday. Wednesday is looking good but Thursday might be in trouble. We’ll have to see.

The long range forecast includes something I am looking forward to. When the temperature outside hits 60 degrees I like to open the windows. If the forecast is correct, next week I’ll be opening the windows. It stands as more evidence that I am now officially a really old fart, but stuff like that pleases me immensely. Come on, weather. Let’s let me open the windows. Just stop snowing first, m’kay?

*That’s sarcasm. I am not clever at all. Not even a little bit.

70’s

The temperature today hit 72 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s like… spring.

Of course the downside is when I took out the trash, stepped on the lawn, and sank into the swamp like mud field.

It’ll be so worth it once the effin’ snow is gone.

I’m exhausted, my eyes are so tired that they are making my head hurt. First thing I do once this Covid shit is over is get new glasses. Second is get my Les Paul fixed up like new. Okay, maybe not second.

New England Weather

I’m sure you are all familiar with the old saying, (often attributed to Mark Twain, but is that accurate?) “don’t like the weather in New England? Wait a minute, it’ll change.”

Today has been the perfect example of that. Prior to leaving the house to bring the kids to their dad’s before school, I checked the Weather Channel app on my phone. It said the temperature was an incredible 62 degrees Fahrenheit. To say that temps in the 60’s in January is unseasonably warm is a huge understatement.

At 1:00pm I broke for lunch. I needed to go to the post office so I checked the weather app again. This time it gave a temp of 47 degrees. In about six hours the temperature dropped a whopping 15 degrees.

At 5:30 I got off work and immediately left to get the kids. I checked the temp again when we got where we were going and it was down to 36.

The temperature has dropped 26 degrees today.

I took a little longer than a minute, but it most certainly did change.
