It's been cold and wintery and then we've had a warm up and today it's been frickin' spring and now we have schools preemptively closing because of the weather tomorrow?
If we're really getting the weather they say we're getting, then I'm in for one hell of a nightmare tonight, because I'm arthritic and that drastic of a temperature change in that short a timespan feels like murder.
I might be breaking out the hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps tonight if this is the actual case. Warm the arthritic bones up.
And I'm sure someone wants to ask why there's three weather apps in my notification bar -- there are two apps that I love and one that I like pretty well. The two I love both have great features that the other doesn't have. They also don't usually give the same temperature and their current conditions don't match, often jumping the gun or lagging behind. The third doesn't have a lot of unique features, but I find it fills in the gaps decently well. And when all three apps agree on something, you know that's what's going on. Also, if the third app agrees with the current conditions of one of the other two, that's usually what's going on.
Why so much importance on weather? After living in El Paso, where the wind is insane, there are high bridges and mountains and no one knows how to fucking drive the moment a single raindrop falls from the sky, it's kinda important.
Also, it's really important to know driving conditions when your vehicle isn't in ideal condition and you're nursing tires and brakes that should be replaced (but you can't afford to). You need to know when it's not worth the risk of taking your vehicle out on the highway.
