It used to be, summers were hot and winters were cold. It was what it was and you planned accordingly. Now the game has changed.
The fall began with a Halloween snowstorm dropping 2 feet of white stuff on the ground, and that was it. Oh, there was a dusting or two, but nothing as far as accumulation. And the temperatures, a bit of real cold here and there, but it sure as hell was not a Northeast winter.
Today, we are not even a month into Spring and the projected temperature is in the 86-90 degree range. Now my house has virtually no closet space, so like a lot of other people, every spring and fall you do the clothes changeover. Well, I did it at the weekend house, but here..no. So as I look at my winter coat hanging up along with gloves and hats, I'm thinking there will be an additional chore on my to-do-pretty-damn-quick list.
Or, I can just leave them there. The way things are going, it should be getting cold by what...July?
Just waiting on the seasons. And the ice cream truck.
