Spring in temperate climates

Odradek

This is the time of year everyone acts like they haven't been alive for at least one year.

"How is it SNOWING in APRIL!!???" Because it's always on and off with the warm weather, be glad it doesn't drop below 20 degrees.

"HOW IS THIS MORNING IN MID SPRING COLD????????" Jesus christ, are you a goldfish, how is this a conversation starter for you.

Still absurd

Imipolex G

Well, I can identify with it.

Odradek

I can't

Anonus

why not?

Imipolex G

What's your excuse?

Odradek

I am resigned.

Also they always seem genuinely surprised and baffled

Imipolex G

Every year we hope it will be different. That this year, the coming of spring will end our pain. Perhaps we are fools to indulge such unwarranted optimism, but, well, we're only human.

Odradek

Oh don't be obtuse

Odradek

Why does everybody have to make talking here so difficult?

Imipolex G

I'm being completely serious.

Honestly, I was out shoveling last month and our neighbor said to mother "so much for spring", and she replied "in Colorado, this IS spring"

Makes me resentful

i was pretty surprised, it hadn't snowed for me in march since i lived on the other side of the country

I haven't seen significant snowfall in spring for the past two years. I know it can happen, obviously, but that doesn't somehow make it less surprising.

I haven't seen significant snowfall at any point of the year for the past two years.  And when it happened two years ago, that was the first time I saw significant snowfall in approximately half my life.

How is it 70 degrees in April, that's what I want to know.

It was 80 here this afternoon.

Gonna be a fun-ass drought this summer.
