We talk about the Weather

Some places, it's considered lack of finesse or imagination to discuss the weather, but in Colorado Springs, its diversity provides a wealth of conversation material. A sampling of the accounts I could provide :
  • How I learned the hard way to wear long underwear, plus dressing for blizzard-like conditions for my 1-minute walk to class
  • "Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, we were consistently colder than the North Pole"
  • How I almost died slipping on black ice
  • . . . and then it was sunny and quite mild
  • The snow melted so quickly!
  • No, it's not that cold out anymore, never mind the cold! Where the heck did the bluster come from? A minute ago nine gusts of wind literally lifted me off my feet! I almost dropped my soymilk!
All this in the same week!

Boston seems similar, weather-wise. The trite phrase around here is: "If you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a minute." But it's true. Last Wednesday, I experienced every type of precipitation within a few hours, plus wind. I never liked the weather, though, until it was sunny the next day.
