Last Friday, we had a snow storm. This Friday, it’s almost 70 degrees, the sky is bright blue and there’s not a cloud in the sky. It’s beautiful out there, and believe me, I’m not complaining, but this weather is just damn odd. It’s the beginning of November and the 7-day forecast shows sunny and high 60 degree temperature. But we had snow last week…
And I am NOT complaining, I would much rather have these warmer temperatures than what this time of year usually throws our way. But is this global warming — is this climate change in action? It just seems so weird that we can have almost 6 inches of snow one week and the next I’ve broken out my flip flops again. And I get that I live in New England where the saying is always “don’t like the weather, well just wait a minute”. It just seems weirder this year. Maybe because we are in the middle of a global pandemic. And I am home all the time and without my daily commute in and out of the office I just seem to have more time to think about all these things.
I’d much rather be wearing a light jacket in the evening. Outdoor dining should be pretty busy tonight! I know that tonight’s walk up to the Irish pub will be much more enjoyable than it was last Friday in the snow!
But all this weird weather changes just make me wonder — are the murder hornets coming next??
