Default Crazy A$$ Weather

Just figured i'd rant a little bit about how funky the weather's been here lately.

Yesterday it was high 70's and sunny.

Yesterday evening I spent the night with my family hunkered in a closet while winds decided to rip shingles off my roof and blow the kids wooden jungle gym/swingset (which was staked in the ground) into the nearby creek.

Today wake up and its 35 degrees out. I was like wtf. So now i'll be repairing the hole in the roof tonight in the cold. fml.

At least we weren't hurt, but i just figured i'd rant a little. Thanks for listening.

We set a record high of 83*F here in St. Louis last Thursday. Broke the old record from 117 years ago. Three days prior to that it snowed nearly 4 inches at my house. Today we're back to mid 30s for the temp and they say it is going to be about 10 degrees colder than normal for the next week.

I thought when the groundhog didn't see its shadow last month it meant that spring was supposed to be here sooner than normal, not later. Ah well, it'll hopefully warm up by July.

Last week It got warm out in Canada (about 44^F) and the snow on the roads melted and I got to ride for a couple days and 2 days ago had the bike out nice and sunny about 30^F and over night 10" of snow.
I hate when the weather teases you like that.
