Well after a couple weeks of practically balmy weather in the 30's and 40's and lots of pouring rain, winter has come to central PA. With wind.
It's still not as bad as the midwest though...the good thing about growing up in the bipolar climate of the Great Lakes states is that you will be prepared to survive ANYWHERE else. Blazing humidity and 100+ degrees? check. Ten below and an inch of ice everywhere? it sucks, but I have seen it happen.
A very strange thing about living in the mountains is that they don't really have thunderstorms here. It is so weird. There was one thunderstorm last fall that lasted about 10 minutes and the next day everyone was freaking out. [wimps.]
All this being said, I still can't wait until I can go out and run in the sunshine in the morning. I'm starting to feel a little cooped up and sun-deprived.
But if it's going to be winter, I would rather have it feel like winter, and not this weird nebulous half-springish stuff that messes with my brain and makes me feel that spring is on the way.
