Dear Weather

What the eff? I know I ask this question all the time, but when I don't receive an answer, the question still continues to exist. Therefore, I ask you: how hard it is to choose a season and stick with it?

Seasons don't last terribly long. Three months or so. Can't you decide to be cool and mild for two seasons, cold and dreary for one season and hot as hell for one season? Isn't really that hard to be consistent?

For example, let's reflect on the temperatures of the last two days. Yesterday, the high was 70 degrees or thereabouts. 70 degrees is pretty warm for February. Today, the temperature is a more winter-esque 30 degrees. For the numerically challenged, that's a 40 degree drop in temperature in a 24 hour period, which is ridiculous. How is one supposed to be prepared for the day when you, Madame Weather, change your mind and freeze the heck up?

I've heard that this area is one of the hardest areas to predict weather. They also say that, around here, if you don't like the weather, stick around for a few days because the weather can change overnight. And 30 degree weather is fine for February. It's usually expected. However, 70 degrees is not okay for February and is thus not expected. Please refrain from busting out 70 degree temperatures until mid-March.

And please, for the love of Doogie Howser, make up your mind and stick with a season for once! This back and forth pull really wears a person out. It also stirs up all the gunk in the air making people sick and icky. The constant change in temperature and precipitation never allows people adequate time to acclimate themselves to the new change. It's quite frustrating and I wish you'd stop.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I know you have other things to do, such as deciding which temperature range to bounce around in tomorrow.

Sincerely yours,

Pure Awesomeness!

Warning: The following video is a work of absolute genius and pure awesomeness. Pregnant women, people over the age of 65, and those with heart problems should probably sit down before viewing.



NBC needs to put this up on their website with all the other Digital Shorts because I would like to watch it without a link across the bottom of it. Also, YouTube is like a gateway drug. You go there to watch one video and end up watching ten million. YouTube gets me into trouble.

Edited: It's finally up at NBC.com and at Hulu.com! Hooray! However, YouTube is still a gateway drug.
