Weather Swings.

So a couple weeks ago, I was outside in a tank top and shorts. Well, fast forward to today, and there's snow on the ground, which was preceded by a particularly nasty bout of sleet. And now I'm sipping hot tea. Let's just say that the whole week has been pretty chilly, and my body decided to rebel, so I found myself blowing my nose pretty much 24/7. Being a near-Chicagoan, I've seen my fair share of fun weather, but I'm always prone to the sniffles. Needless to say, any noticeable changes are usually harbingers of nose runnage.

Anyways, this prompted the question: Do you get frequent weather swings, and how do you handle them? Do you find yourself hacking up a lung with the slightest change, or do you barely even notice when it's snowing one day and warm the next?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nah, I'd take dry heat over crazy humidity any day. It's bad enough being hot, but barely being able to breathe in the thick, humid air is another thing. But then again, I can't say I've ever really experienced dry heat.

Ugh sounds terrible. I remember back when I used to push carts for Jewel during the summer. I'd be wearing long black jeans, a gianormous polo because they didn't have small sizes left, and they wouldn't order them. As a result, I had my sleeves all the way down to my elbows, and since we had to tuck our shirts in, I had inches to spare bunched up at my wait. So, throw in uber-humidity at around noon, plus carts, and you get funness. The worst days were weekends, when we'd have to push more carts than allowed just to get enough back into the store, so we'd be working up a sweat. And then we'd be going into the building every 5 minutes or so to move the cart stacks over so we could push more through the cart door. Needless to say, I was one of the few people sneezing like a madman in the middle of summer. And I mean, this store was pretty chilly. During the summer, the air would be cranked up to where you couldn't wear a tank top and not be cold.

But yeah, back and forth on an almost minutely basis is definitely not fun. D:

How ya doing, buddy?
