New Hampshire and Massachusetts, to be more accurate. Now that it's springtime, we get a wide range of weather. It's been cold(er) in the mornings when I leave for work, usually in the low 40s or upper 30s (F, 0 to 5 or 6 C)... so I have the heat on until I'm almost at work, then gradually make it cooler.

By the time I get out of work in the afternoon, it's been in the upper 70s F (upper teens to lower 20s C), so I have to put the AC on for the ride home. Does anyone else have that kind of weather where they are?

I guess that's better than the summer or winter, where you're either melting or frozen solid. It's beautiful weather in any case, and maybe I'm just sad because I can't be outside in it during the week...

Is mother nature on a bender or something? Is she recovering now?

Seriously. This has been one of the weirdest winter-ish seasons I can remember, and this is New England. We had a week in January where it was 55 F (12.8 C) one day, then a high of 18 F (-7.8 C) the next day. It doesn't normally go above the mid 30s in January and Ferbruary, and it's not unusual for there to be a two or three week period where the temperature doesn't go above 20 F (-6.7 C). We've gotten a lot of snow, but along with the huge piles of the white stuff that we've shoveled, there have been days where the snow has almost been sublimating (evaporating directly).

Then there was this week, where it's been in the low 30s F (around 0 C) over night, then in the 40s during the day... then it SNOWED this morning. That would be fine, except I just put my summer tires back on my car (only to pass inspection). I was planning on putting the winters back on for a few more weeks...

For some reason, Nature isn't the word I'm thinking of after Mother right now.
