It must have been a big spider!
The Itsy Bitsy Spider may have not been so little! He went up the waterspout but the he didn’t get washed away. This is my philosophy regarding the amount of rain and lack of sunshine we have seen. If the spider does not get washed away the sun can’t come out, right????
According to the U.S Environmental Protection Agency Global temperatures are rising. Data collected within past century suggests the average land surface temperatures have risen 0.45-0.6°C (0.8-1.0°F).
So….Does this mean Upstate New York just got left out of this calculation?? Is it me or has this summer felt like an extended Spring? Unless the weather is going to catch up with itself and be 92 degrees on Christmas and snow next June I think we may have a problem.. The Agency also records Precipitation has increased by just about one percent world-wide in the past century. Okay this one I agree with.. I feel that we have been drenched this summer, or whatever season you may call it. Two weeks of summer is not good enough for me!! I put up a baby pool for the kids yup you guessed it, the kids got out of the pool, teeth rattling and their lips were blue. Yeah the pool lasted, it is in great shape due to the fact it was taken down a day after I set it up! I can honestly say this summer has been about the worst one I recall. As a fellow New Yorker I think we all are entitled to have about three or four minutes to weather rant!!
You see, we have winter about half the year, this leaves it rainy, foggy, chilly and bitter for most of the other half. So approximately we get about two and a half months of supposedly hot weather. (I will not go into the muggy and humid end of things) When it is also raining, cold and downright miserable the little quarter of the year us New Yorkers do get, we get A LITTLE EDGY!! Well there goes my three and half minutes I better go home and get the boat ready.. yes once again rain is in the forecast.
