I was just curious how the weather is around the rest of the country. Here in Memphis, we are going from one extreme to the other, and I suspect everyone else is as well.
Over the past week, temperatures have been in the 70's-80's. The week before we got 5 inches of snow (the most at once since the 1960's). Then, just this week, we dropped 40 degrees over the course of 24 hours - and while the high Tuesday was in the 80's, last night we had a tiny bit of sleet, and it's 35 today.
I feel like the magic of the turn of seasons is fading, and it totally bums me out. Anyone else experiencing this?
I don't know if it's just me, or if Mother Nature is getting more schizophrenic over time.
It has always been back-and-forth this time of year, but it seems the older I get the more severe it gets - both in temperature fluctuations and the amount of precipitation.
Last winter, Wisconsin broke its record for snowfall. There was more last year than any year they had been keeping records. This year, we're on track to beat that record. December 2008 had the most snowfall of any month since they've been keeping records. As an added bonus, we had a record streak of days below freezing which included the longest streak of subzero days I've ever seen.
As winter turns into spring, it seems the pendulum is swinging harder. Two weeks ago it was in the 50s. Today, it's 10.
I definitely have to agree that it's getting more extreme.
i live in new england. i know nothing but erratic weather. the other day i went to bed and it was spring, woke up and there was a hail storm
seriously. no joke. it was 58 when I went to bed, or at least last time I checked that day. Woke up to an inch of snow on the ground.
March is just the worst month. Just a 30 day cock-tease. At least February you know is going to be cold as hell. March is just all over the place. April and May aren't much better (at least here in new england). Which is why Tennessee the second week of June is the greatest thing in the world.

Well that's the thing - it seems like this has been going on all winter. We'll go through really cold spells - then it gets 30+ degrees warmer all of a sudden - then its cold again. Now granted, it never got as high as 70's-80's, but for it to be 20 or 30 degrees one day and 50 or 60 the next throughout the entire season is just weird. The trees outside of work started budding a few weeks ago, only to get snowed all over shortly thereafter.
Maybe I'm just paying more attention to it than I used to, who knows. But I swear its just getting weirder and weirder.

I'm in Paragould, AR (about an hour from Memphis) and in January we had the ice storm. That melted and it was 70 dergees then got cold again....then warm again, them cold again and snowed 10 inches.... Last week it was anywhere from 68-76 degrees. I woke up yesterday and it was 67 degrees... about 3 hours later it was 38. Today we were under a winter weather advisory.... it snowed all day....
I'd say the weather is pretty erratic. IT is murdering my allergies/sinuses.
It was 80 here yesterday - and 50 today - a week or so ago - it was 80 on Friday and snowed Saturday night - then it got warm again - then cold - then 80's again and now cold and rainy - it sucks

Last month I was going to see Andrew Bird in Richmond. I woke up that morning to a sunny day and it was a beautiful 60 degrees out around noon. I started getting ready for the show... showered, cooked food and ate it, surfed the webs... probably about 3 or 4 hours of stuff. I looked out my window just to see what was up outside and it was freakin snowing, and 25 degrees outside.
This week has been no exception to the extreme shifts either. 80 degrees in Hampton, then I think it dropped to the 20s last night
