Anyone from Ohio will tell you that the weather there is crazy. Having been, and always will be, an Ohioan, I agree. This week though just made me ask a question to myself (since no one else would understand) "is the weather crazy everywhere?" Here's why I asked such a curious question.
in Ohio, the theme is "wait till tomorrow. the weather will change." and 9 out of 10 times, it's true! i got used to the gloomy winters, and actually, being a full-blood ohioan, never really noticed the gloomy winters until i started dating my fiance, who is originally from new england. yeah. apperently they get better weather out there. i never really noticed what it did in ohio, except in school when i would hear a blizzard might come, and i would just hope my mom would sneak in my room to turn off my alarm because school got canceled. but now that i know what ohio weather does, i was expecting colorado weather to be the same. WRONG!
when we first moved out here in january, it was sunny almost every day. it didn't snow until about a month later. which i guess is not the norm. usually there have been 3-4 big (like feet, not inches ohio) snowfalls by february. they've only had one before we got there. anyway, that didn't bother me because, well, i happen to like snow. yea, i know. i'm wierd. but the sunny days i was not used to! and it was really nice! well, then the temps started to warm up and i thought nothing of it. we are having better weather than ohio. until monday.
sunday, it was so nice and warm! but a front was coming. which i have found out, i can now tell you when a front is coming (besides the news) becuase it gets terribly windy! sunday, i thought i was going to blow away. monday's high was at 12:01am. yeah, it just got colder. which i am used to in ohio, but colorado? it was raining when i left for work, and when i was coming home after a day of work, it had turned to snow. now, luckily the ground was too warm, so nothing stuck, unless you live in the foothills and higher. and then it snowed over night and i actually had to brush snow off my car and it was FREEZING! ok, like 20 something. but compared to 80, it was cold! but it was so beautiful (agian with the wierd likeness for snow). the trees were starting to bloom and the snow was sticking to the trees and bushes, and i just thought it was beautiful. but it was the last weekend in april! not a surprise for ohio, but here?
so i guess in the short run (too late, huh) i think i would prefer the colorado weather, but i miss all the snow ohio gets. and now i am ready to see what the summer will bring out here. oh and in case you were wondering, it was 65 today and getting warmer tomorrow. so you ohioans, the weather is crazy everywhere. you just get more clouds. HAHA!

Hey from Ohio. It's actually about 65 here and SUNNY too! We've been dipping down close to freezing at night, but the days are mid-60s a not a cloud in the sky (of course I think by Saturday it will raining, so there you go).
I remember Los Angeles having weird weather. Bobb used to say it was like three seasons everyday. You'd wake up and it would feel like crisp fall morning (think really great football weather) and then in the day it would be all summerish (at 100+ in the Valley -- but it's a dry heat!) and then at night it was a like a spring evening, warm, but cooling off nicely.
I think the only place where weather isn't weird is San Diego. I hear it's like Pleasantville there or something.
