An Odd Reflex
Dec. 6th, 2009 07:25 pmAccording to Cliff Mass, UW Meteorologist, the last two weeks in November are statistically the wettest of the year.
That may explain a strange emotional reflex I have...
Sometimes in early December, before the Christmas lights go up, before shopping is anywhere near completed, before we get inundated with Christmas Music on the radio,
...we have a stretch of weather that is cold and sunny.
That's what we're having now; sunny, crisp, and Very Cold for the PNW.
But the sun, and the bright blue sky, and the dry air triggers in me, Spring Fever. I get an impulse along the lines of "Here it comes. Here comes spring." I expect to hear frogs any day now.
Well, not really, it's too cold. But it's there around the edges.
