It seems like I write about the weather and the seasons quite a bit. I complain and yearn for other times of year while I simultaneously enjoy and extol the virtues of the one I’m living in.
Dear Nebraska Weather,
What’s with the shenanigans? While we were screaming about the heat in July and shivering through the cold in August, you completely ignored us. Who finally got through to you that you’d skipped late summer? And what made you decide to get it in right in the middle of October? Were you thinking that 2012 would have to have late summer at some point, and figured that October was a better time to sneak it in than December? Well, you were probably right about that.
Next year, though, remember that winter should be around until mid-April at the latest (May is right out), spring should last until either the last week of May or the first week of June before you let summer blaze, but that can last until the first week of September if you want, and then autumn needs to get some time in, so September and October are good for that, because the first snow shouldn’t come until the middle of November at the earliest. I know in past years you’ve fancied the middle of October for it, but we didn’t enjoy that very much, especially those times where you’ve let winter last all the way into May.
Every season is enjoyable in its own way. Just allow us some time to bask in each before we’re ushered into the next. I suppose playing catch-up this way is okay, just this once.
As long as you don’t try any funny business by sending some snow next week.
Love, Tricia
