I'm confused. If I recall grade school right, seasons usually go from Winter to Spring to Summer... well, I'm not too sure where Spring went.

Last week, we had a snow storm. And today, it's over 20C (that's over 70F) and sunny. People are walking around in shorts and t-shirts... but the snow hasn't all melted yet.

What's going on??


(no complaints though
)

Well to me 70 degrees is spring weather. It's certainly not hot enough to be summer weather.

Here in Los Angeles we're having winter weather today: Raining cool and gloomy. Normally we have rain in the winter months, and cool gloomy days like today are definitly winter weather. Yesterday it was close to 80, and we've had lots of 80 degree days all winter long, with little or no rain. Todays spring storm is the most rain we've had during the entire season, and you would probably see a day like today in January or February. It's only in the 60's here today.

I'm beginning to believe that we set up our calendars wrong. I.e. there was the Caesarian Calendar that only had 10 months...we're on the Gregorian with 12, but still...I have a sneaky feeling we've been wrong this whole time.
