Brace yourselves, winter is... coming?

[milleniumgypsy]

So... it's spring now right? It doesn't look like spring outside. This last week we were really excited that it was so spring-like outside. Snow was starting to melt, the sun was out, it wasn't snowing, and the weather was really warming up! It stayed around 40 degrees F! Spring had finally arrived!

This morning I woke up to it snowing. It has been snowing all day. I looked at the weather forecast and it's supposed to snow all week. In other parts of the world people have flowers starting to grow! I'd be happy to just have melting snow at this point. :S

In other random news, it is midnight and I just missed two phone calls from a number I don't recognize. I'm going to assume it was somebody trying to call someone else while drunk since it's frackin midnight. I don't know why I get so many wrong number calls and texts. e_e

I also took some pictures today, I'll have to post those tomorrow as I'm super tired now. Also, squeeing about Dr. Who. xD

LOL, join the club. The weather forecast for today says we're getting four inches of snow. WTF? It's supposed to be picnic weather in 3½ weeks.

lol that sounds like us. xD I certainly don't expect flowers or anything right now, there's usually still snow at the end of May but it's mostly gone by then. I would like spring to get a move on though lol.

Yeah, our snow usually starts to melt for real around this time, but now there are no signs of that happening. We have a national holiday coming up on the 1st of May and traditionally people go out to parks and have a picnic that day. It's usually still a little chilly and there may be a little snow that you can use to keep your champagne or soda cold, but I don't ever remember having piles of snow on May 1st. xD Well, I guess there's a 1st time for everything.

We need to trade locations! The 'winter' here, if you can even call it that, is incredibly short. We already have our air conditioner running and everything is in bloom outside.

But I'm miserable. I live in the wrong part of the world for a person who melts when the temperatures get above mid 60's. I absolutely love cold weather. I'd give anything to be back home, in the mountains, where the summer is very short and mild and there is still snow on the ground in April.

I think we do! Though I think where you are is too hot for Scottie. I don't neccessarily want something uber hot, but I would like something more temperate. I'm not a big fan of the weater when it spends weeks way below zero! As someone who always said I was going to move to the tropics, choosing to move up here was probably an odd choice. lol

Do you think you'll move somewhere cooler later?

Heh, it's the same for me ending up in Las Vegas. I always said I'd move further north, to Canada or Alaska.

I grew up in Oregon, up in the cascades... and I loved it. I didn't care for summer, even there, but it didn't last long. I would love to go back there and my husband is for it, so it may be our retirement location.

But for now, moving is unrealistic. My parents are here in Southern Nevada and they may need my help soon. My husband's job is here in Vegas, and while it's possible to find a casino job in Oregon... it's not as easy or as well paying.

lol, sometimes the weather is strange and you think... I THOUGHT IT WAS THIS SEASON?! I live in CA and one year it was scorching hot all through winter! We were like WHERE IS THE COLD WEATHER?! You can still build a snowman though! :P

I had so many of those on my old cell number! This woman kept calling me for two years before she finally said "I guess he changed his number and didn't bother to give me the new one!" lol. Either a lot of people are misdialing and getting you, or someone has a similar number and is a digit off leading to you lol.

Weather is so silly! It's not like I'm expecting it to be summer right now, but I'd be happy if the snow would just continue to melt instead of accumulate more. lol I could build a snowman though. Oh, that reminds me... I did want to do a photoshoot with tiny snowmen. Maybe I should get on that. xD

I don't know why my phone gets so many misdials! I think it's just misdialing, because for some reason every summer I get a ton of random texts to other people. It won't be such a big deal this summer because I'll be home, but it was so annoying when I was out in the field. Most of the time I didn't get any cell service, so when I was able to get into one of those spots with some spotty connection, I'd try to call Scottie. Too many times my connection would get killed because some random person had tried to text someone else 'Hay im bord whatchn tv' or something. It was so frustrating.

You'd think the woman trying to call you would have gotten the hint earlier! lol o_O

It's starting to get hot and funky here. Do not want lol. I could see wanting to be out of the snow though. It's giving you extra time for that tiny snowman photoshoot!

That's really weird! I could see why that would be annoying. It's so strange that you get so many of them though!

ikr? She was trying for the longest time before she finally realized that she was always getting the same person letting her know that she has the wrong number lol. She was the only one that was nice about calling the wrong number(other than the dental office of the guy she was trying to call that called a few times before they got the drift). People usually scream at me and hang up when I tell them that they have the wrong number.

Why do people get mad at the person they called when they got the wrong number anyway? lol.

The groundhogs in temperate countries really are having a long lie in. On a friend's Tumblr I saw a photo of new lambs wearing little coats to keep them warm because it's still so cold.

I'd send you some of the heat here if I could.

[invsagoth.livejournal.com]

Aw, the poor lambs! This winter doesn't seem to want to leave. :P

I'd send you some cold if I could! hehe

[elizalavelle.livejournal.com]

It's cold where I am too. I'd like Spring now please!
