If you don't like the weather in Michigan...

Weatherman Bill Stephen keeps a blog that has some interesting weather stuff. I loved this post after we hit 70 degrees a few days ago. I thought of my family in the Central Valley of California and how little variety they get!

"So far the month of March in West Michigan has brought us rain, snow, sleet, hail, heavy fog, haze, smoke, freezing rain, a thunderstorm, a bright meteor and a blizzard! West Michigan is THE place to work if you’re a meteorologist. I love it! We had 13.5″ of snow in the first five days of the month, with drifts up to four feet high! We had temperatures down below zero (+1 at the airport) and up into the low 70s (with snowpiles around and STILL in the 70s!)…and the month is only half over!! Eat your heart out fellow meteorologists who live where the weather is boring! West Michigan is the World Headquarters of Ultimate Weather!"

Well, you certainly can't complain about being bored! Then again, it's awfully hard to plan for an outdoor activity out there - unless you say, bring tennis racquets AND cross country skis and we'll either ski or play tennis depending on the weather!

Talk about boring! Imagine waking up to temperatures around 50 degrees each morning, clear blue skies each day, and highs in the low 80s. We haven't seen a drop of rain yet in March!

boring!

GIVE ME SOME SNOW!

Unbelievable! It rained yesterday. It was quite a refreshing change. Second only to snow.
