A four letter word starting with "s"...
Yesterday I encountered my first snow of the season. And when I say snow, I don't mean a flake or two.
I have a 40 minute commute: 10 minutes to the highway, 20 minutes on the highway, and 10 minutes after the highway. When I left the house yesterday, it was raining. By the time I hit the middle stretch on the highway (I go over a small mountain), there was snow on the ground, though not on the road. It was still raining, but there was accumulation on the sides of the road. This is not the worst part. When I got OFF the highway, it wasn't raining anymore, it was snowing. Now, granted, it was a wet, heavy snow, but it was still snowing. Drops were no longer plunking onto the windshield. Instead, flakes were silently melting.
Dude, it's mid-October. Seriously, it should not be SNOWING. So much for global WARMING, eh? Can we all please call it what it is--global CLIMATE CHANGE?! If it's truly warming, why on earth is it snowing in October?
