N3: Spring

Bone-chilling rain, muddy lawns, and overcast skies. How a person could enjoy the time of year which conditions like this are the norm perplexes me. A reason why I dislike it so much is that it's a period of transition in weather patterns. I think I've already brought this up, my ideal weather pattern. Nine months of summer, three weeks of fall, one of spring and a month of winter. That to me is ideal. I'm actually happy that I've grown up with Buffalo weather. I've found the positives in all weather conditions. People who live here get to experience it all. Throughout the year Buffalonians experience beautiful clear days, adrenaline-jolting thunderstorms and blizzards, cool fall days and blistering hot summer afternoons. Experiencing weather like this for the past seventeen years has had an effect on me. I love a good storm, but I also enjoy a nice summer day. I love the snow in the winter, but I don't like it when winter lasts for five months. Springtime has its positive times and features but for the most part I don't like it. One of the few good things about it is that it gives us hope for the summer season around the corner. Sadly, this is only a tease. Last week we had beautiful weather, sunny days, highs in the seventies lows in the sixties. If the trees had leaves we would of thought it was summer. This week it's back to the forties, overcast, and rain. It's miserable outside. This right here is why I don't enjoy spring. As Buffalonians, we've got to take what we can get.
