Winter already?

[frustratedearthmother]

We're cooler today...mid 49 this morning and we're supposed to make it to the low 60's later. But, yesterday I was outside working in shorts and a t-shirt. Crazy stuff, lol. I hear we're supposed to get a freeze in a week or so. Yay? I don't like the cold - but we need it for bug/parasite problems - the bane of my existence….

Was beautiful here in southern IL today. Sunny and warm, still wearing just a tank top and it's almost January, pretty amazing. I thought this might be a bad winter with the snow we got in November but nope it's very mild winter so far.

It's still very mild here. People are getting bored (weather and complaining about it is a hot topic in Ireland), so they switched to complaining about Met Éireann (the Irish National Meteorological Service) instead. Apparently they can't get the weather warnings right, it's either too much, or not serious enough. And don't get me started on the poor souls having to do the forecasts in the evening news! lol

Weather forcast... It's the only profession I know of where you can be wrong most of the time and still have a job.

New Mission Statement from The Weather Channel:
"Committed to provide yesterdays most accurate weather report today."

That's for sure!

Let me quote Back to the Future "Since when can weathermen predict the weather, let alone the future?"

One of my favorite stories is of the guy that called the Weather Service to let them know he had just finished shoveling 18 inches of "partly cloudy" off his driveway...

I checked the news headlines this morning and saw:

Bitterly cold January ahead, Met Éireann say

"Ireland could be in for another bitterly cold and wintry January with the possible return of the same weather system that caused the Beast from the East this year.

Met Eireann says that the current mild conditions brought on by a sudden stratospheric warming has the potential to be followed by much colder conditions."
