I think someone forgot to tell nature that it's JULY!!! Its cold and wet in NY as well. Raining AGAIN. It poured all night... and yesterday. And nearly every day (I'm not exaggerating) since school let out.

Heh. No one beats Bergen in rain. The normal amount of sun in july around here is seven days! We'we had two, maybe three. And instead of snow in the winter, we have rain. Maybe, if we're lucky, we have one day of snow. But the morning after, it's gone again. A few days ago it rained so bad that our satellite dish went out for about an hour. It's not fair!!

(Yes, I am complaining a lot, but this is a topic that needs complaining.)

I won't complain too much, since I rather like my climate. For a sneak peek at the weather in Fea's life: June to September is summer. The weather is normally hot, sunny, and all around summery, with late night thunderstorms and the occasional late afternoon downpour. September to say... the end of October is the most beautiful autumn in the world, if I do say so myself. All scarlet and golden,with gentle breezes or wild gusts, depending on the hour. Its rather common for us to get icestorms on Halloween, and then winter lasts until April. Now I'm hearing Americans complain about rainy winters, well let me tell you: I'm a New Yorker. Central New York. That means lake effect snowstorms dropping multiple feet at a time. That means screaming winds and hellish fury power-outages. And mixed in between, we get ice and rain storms to leave nice invisible layers of ice under the snow. And that's the winter I love. We've got some two monthes of spring after that. But winter is the longest season here, starting with light snow in early October, progressing to blizzards and fun snow, teasing us with an early January thaw, and then freezing us back indoors until midApril. And we get the occasional May snowstorm. I LOOOOOVE New York.

(Except for right now, when it's late July and I'm wearing heavy sleep-pants, a longsleeve shirt with a shortsleeved over top, and SOCKS to keep warm. And I'm still chilled.)
