We have a "Damp Marine Climate". Heavy on the "damp". But usually, usually, late April and most of May are lovely. A real teaser for summer! Sunshine, warm temps, (warm being a relative term), and melanin-challenged people walking around in shorts and tank tops with goosebumps the size of road turtles. (Because, you know, we're all chronically low on Vitamin D and need to get recharged as soon as possible.)
But it's just a teaser. About the time Memorial Day rolls around, the rain comes back and we won't see much of the sun again until about the 4th of July.
Then it's summer. And it goes on well into September.
But this year is not following the pattern. Not cooperating.
No snow to play in over the winter. Plenty up in the mountains, but none down here. The winter was so mild we called it June-uary.
But now, when we should be having a lovely spring, we're not. Snow in the hills, passes closed, and this morning... 37F.
I'm just wondering what summer will be...

Glad we're not the only ones having Wierd Weather! Someone even said that they wouldn't be surprised if we got snow this winter! Now that would be nice!!!!
(But I'd be really amazed if we did!)
This year is very strange, weather-wise! Snow three feet deep in Baltimore, but none in Buffalo that same week! Warm weather in the Northwest in January. Freezing temperatures in May!
I am hoping for a delightful summer. Even if this season seems to have started off on the wrong foot! It is supposed to snow here on Saturday night- I am hoping it doesn't stick!
I think your lovely spring is at our end of the country. This is the nicest spring we have had in a long, long time. Usually we have one warm day for every five cold days, but this year, it's been the opposite. Thank you for sending it our way ;o).
Blessings!

We have your warm weather over here in the Solomon Islands! Come and get it :-)
I think it must have been 100 today in Texas with terrible humidity - we turned on the AC yesterday!!! :) Have a blessed day - I enjoy your blog!
