Well, ain’t that a turnabout. Today in Los Angeles it’s 59 degrees and raining. Not a small sprinkle, either. POURING rain. And to think a few weeks ago, our smug meteorologists were reporting, “It will be 85 and sunny all this week, oh and by the way New York got five inches of snow.” Heh. Oh well. ---

Haha **KGS**. I was just talking to my friend in LA and she told me about the crappy weather you’re having today. We had our fair share last week, believe me! ---

I’ll believe it when I see it. This morning it was barely 50Âș when I was coming to work. Besides, Thursday—when I have a million errands to do after work—it’s going to be raining and in the goddam 40s again. ---

It was in the seventies in Michigan yesterday - balmy and sunny, and I didn’t have to go to work. Michigan, I apologize for the pit thread I started about you the other day. ---

It’s 16C right now, with a guaranteed high of 28C. That’s
 well, 28 is about
 85F? Drizzling and freezing rain later on this week, though. ---

**Lissla Lissar** , I was just thinking that a week ago today I was looking out of these same Toronto-area at-work windows
 at a blizzard. Dunno what it’s going to do later in the week though. ---

I remember slogging through that blizzard, **Sunspace** , screaming, “It’s fricking **April**! We don’t need three feet of snow!! GO AWAY!” Maybe it will be mostly summer, now. After the rain and cold, I mean. Ready for smog and heat, everybody? I’m gong to buy an ice shaver and make snow-cones. ---

I find the whole thing really depressing. I don’t care much for the sun and I hate heat. Why couldn’t it just be cool and Springy? Dangit. :sad: ---

Today in the Cleveland, Ohio area, we are supposed to set a NEW record of about 83! We are a goin to the beach (a short walk). ---

Terrific. This is one of those occasions when the editors (those would be my bosses) get together and decide we need some light, bright, dopey story about The Weather. And about how Two Weeks Ago We Were Shoveling Snow, and Now We’re Sunbathing in Central Park! Because This is the Kind of Thing a Big-Deal Newspaper Gives to the World. Our Readers Expect It! Revel in It! Clip It and Send It to Relatives in Far-Off Lands! And myself? Bah. I’ll be Out on Assignment. Which involves combing the racks at the Neiman Marcus outlet and contemplating Good Journalism. ---

I find it amusing that the only two people who have psted to this thread that are not thrilled in the least about the weather are newspapers folks. I think the job just fills one with a cynical bitterness after a few years that make things like 
 the _weather_ 
 about as interesting as, oh say 
 the _weather_. Yeah, I’m jaded. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/holy-crap-on-a-stick-its-gonna-be-81-deg-in-nyc/168738.md?page=2)
