I like how humans try to categorize nature by deeming March 20th as the First of Spring so therefore Spring-like weather MUST COMMENCE.

It's Spring to me when it stops raining. Which is hasn't yet, we may go straight into Summer without stopping at Spring.

Spring rain and Winter rain are two different animals. Spring rain does not come at you sideways and rip your umbrella upside down at 10000 MPH.

Same island as you. Hurray for more rain tonight...apparently it's going to be worse than the rain we got around 1 AM.

My bedroom wall is totally going to leak :(

The seasons' start and finish dates were dictated by the weather to begin with, so the categorization holds water rather well.

The whole point of this topic is how the categorization is not holding well at all.

And obviously seasons are dictated by the weather, I'm not sure how humans would have managed to pull that out of their ass without it. I'm just not sure the 20th of March is going to be the exact date for Spring. There's a rough estimate in the pattern of seasons but it's hardly exact, humans just decided that at one point in time to make it seem as if we had a grasp on nature. Which we obviously don't, otherwise there wouldn't be hurricanes well into December when the end of the "season" was November. Or snow storms when dammit, it's Spring.

Nature is pretty much a bunch of weather discrepancies. The natural world isn't by the book and it's not something that can be prevented or regulated. Just because man observed some sort of loose pattern for a few hundred years doesn't make it the fact of the Earth.

Coupled that we're dumping tons of carbon and CO2 into the atmosphere on a daily basis, the weather is now as unpredictable as ever. Hell even without human intervention, the planet was hit with an Ice Age every so often.

OMG it's thunderstorms tonight :D

Like so much rain @_@

This is the most rain I seen in Hawaii on the Leeward side of the island in forevers.

Heh, it's crazy. I live right next to a canal, it looks freakish. Kids love to go down there to play...parents should keep closer eyes on them. But, uh, tornado warning for Maui and Lana`i O.o

I live in fuckin seattle, people complain about England having a shitty rainy weather. Well I think Seattle beats England in a shitty weather contest. Only time I've ever seen it being sunny for an entire week straight was back in 2002.
