Ain’t No Sunshine…
July 6th, 2005
Here’s a shocker for you all - New England weather sucks. And Boston’s sucks most of all.
This morning, The Weather Channel informed me of today’s forecast:
Considerable cloudiness with occasional rain showers. High 72F. Winds NNE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 60%. Rainfall around a half an inch.
Hmm… that’s funny, because it’s been pouring ALL FREAKIN’ DAY, and has been hovering in the mid 60s. We have at least a couple of inches so far, and have been issued a flash flood warning. Fabulous.
I keep repeating in my head, “Self, remember how cold you were last winter? At least this is better than it was in January. And at least it was nice last weekend….” But then I realize that it’s SUPPOSED to be nicer than it was in January - it’s July ferchrissakes, not November. And summer is supposed to have sunshine and blue skies, and preferably be dry, so I shouldn’t need to feel grateful for what should be normal. Sure, this is better than freezing to death… but it’s ridiculous that the weather is so bad that I need to be thankful for the 15 nice days a year.
Why am I living in New England again?
