What the fuck is the matter with people who cannot understand that the weather is not the same everywhere? I swear, the next time someone tells me that the weather is “weird” is gonna get smacked upside the head! Okay, I realize that maybe where you’re from, this is the time it starts cooling down, and you get out the sweaters and close all the windows, but you voluntarily moved to California, where September is the hottest month of the year. No, it’s not unusual or bizarre. The weather is like this here every single year! Get over your childhood memories of the leaves changing color and dropping from the trees, cause it ain’t gonna happen, okay? No one decreed that your autumn was the “proper” one, and all other perfectly natural weather patterns were somehow “abnormal.” 100+ in September is absolutely the proper weather for California. Everyone is allowed to bitch about the heat, but there is nothing strange about it at all.
Thank you for allowing me to vent. My coworkers from Illinois and Colorado cannot get over the “weird” weather.
I just wish the weather was the same every year where I live (Baltimore). It’s been fall here for over a month, before which it rained for an entire month. Seasonal weather is cool, as long as it’s the right season.
(BTW, whaddya mean it’s not the same everywhere? You’re fucking with me, right?)
Ah yes, Autumn in the east. A slight chill in the air as we bid farewell to the hot, sweaty days of summer. Soon the leaves will change to their beautiful fall coats of red, yellow and orange, just as nature intended. All is right with the world.
What, you mean it’s not that way in California. Sheesh…that is wierd!
(No, there’s no snow here either… not even in Winnipeg. I’m just kidding. But in Winnipeg there is snow by Halloween. Every year. That’s mostly why we moved to Montreal, where Boreas usually procrastinates until around Christmas.)
The really weird thing is that the stores in Southern California put out “Fall” clothes for back-to-school in September, even though everyone knows you won’t be able to wear them comfortably until November. It always amuses me to see people sitting around in their trendy new sweaters–sweating. Me, I like wearing shorts at Christmas.
Thank you Kyla who can’t handle the weather in September should shut up and leave. Look, I wore turtlenecks and hoodies in july and August, specificly so i could wear shorts and t-shirts in September. Of course I’ve known people who’ve lived here 5 years who still get surprised at the heat in September. go figure.
I moved to California a year ago and not only do my friends/family back in Ontario ask me what the weather’s like, but they also feel the need to tell me that their days are getting shorter now.
Ummmm…our days get shorter too. This ain’t the friggin’ equator.
My father-in-law did this to me just the other day, and didn’t believe me when I told him the nasty truth.
May I also add, that we here in Germany have a summer, too? It doesn’t snow here year round. OTOH, when you come visit me in May, and I tell you to bring a light jacket, I’m not just saying that because I want to see your taste in jackets. I say it because, although it is pretty dang hot in Memphis in May, here it can still be on the nippy side.
Also, there is no need to ask me what time it is over here every damn time you call. If you must ask, please spare me the five minute talk on how “weird” it is. If you stop and think about how the Earth is round and rotates, it all makes perfect sense.
Yeah, but Joe DeNardo can make “Partly Cloudy” unendingly interesting. If I have to listen to those anonymous schmucks in NYC one more time I’m going to climb a water tower.
