May Madness

Woman in the Middle | May 15, 2015

Here it is, May 15th, and we are experiencing some pretty amazing weather in So Cal. Of course, weird weather is our specialty in these parts. But this time it is particularly weird.

The ski resorts in our local mountains had to close early because of warm weather and a severe lack of snow due to our drought. You may have seen the infamous image a month or so ago of our Governor Moonbeam standing on bare brown dirt in the high Sierras where there should have been several feet of snow.

Well, a cold storm has moved in which brought rain to our area yesterday and today. It is cold enough that I turned my heater back on this morning. Usually by now it would be off until November. And then there are our mountains. See for yourself.

I am sure all the skiers are very unhappy and the ski resort owners are probably gnashing their teeth and ripping their shirts in frustration. All those events that happen in May because the weather is predictably free of rain are scrambling as well. Excuse me while I go dig out some jeans and a sweatshirt.

    I just hope this annoying drought goes away! I don’t like rain, but I like the drought even less. So I’ll just have to put up with the rain and I hope it rains until the drought goes away and the official drought complainers stop whining.
