April fools!

Okay, Winter. Ha-ha. Yeah, April Fools — I get it.

You played a great joke on us, making us believe that you were moving out on March 20 and that Spring was moving in, as usual.

In the past 10 days since the announcement of this so-called “Spring”, we’ve had snow, sub-freezing temperatures, and for the last 4 days, unending freezing rain.

Springtime was supposed to look like this:

We’ve been hoodwinked! Taken for fools on a grand scale!

Okay, Spring, Winter, Stalled Weather System, or whatever you call yourself. You’ve had your big practical joke at our expense. Har-har…

Consider this your eviction notice. Pack up your things and get outa here! This isn’t funny anymore!!

  2. Yikes! Winter can be so tricky sometimes. 😉 Unfortunately, over here in Singapore we have the opposite problem – it’s been insanely hot. Oh, weather, why must you be so fickle…?

    • Throw some heat our way, please! The temperature has actually risen today. Not too warm, but just enough where I could leave my coat unbuttoned while walking 🙂

      Thanks for stopping by!
