Weather

I always say the weather in Ireland is crazy. Well the past 24 hours takes the cake. St. Patrick's day was warm enough (light coat weather) that turned from very sunny to pretty windy and rainy by about 11. By 12, the rain had all but stopped and it was pretty nice again. Today was sunny when I woke up. I went about consolidating arrangements for Greece, and then I got an IM from amanda. "Look outside." I pulled up my shade and it is SNOWING. And not just a little snow. More like, I-live-near-the-artic-circle-and-i-can't-see-50-feet snow. I haven't seen it snow like that since the ice storms that knocked power out to half of Hickory. And the wind was swirling all around. You could see shifts of snow from where the wind had switched back and compressed a few disperse flakes into a wall of snow. Also, snow isn't supposed to fall UP. UP I said. If you haven't heard it, you should listen to the Lewis Black stand-up segment on when he saw lightning during a snow storm. That was his signal that the weather was out of control. This is mine. 20 minutes after I was alerted to the snow, THERE WERE BLUE SKIES! What the ****? And now everything is gray again.

I'm going to Greece. Where the weather is predictable: warm.
