Hello, Mother Nature It's Me Cherry

And I'd really, really like to know why it's 20 degrees colder than it should be this time of year. Can we please have the 70's of early Autumn back.

Maryland has been in a terrible cold snap the past couple of days - bad enough that parts of Western Md already got an inch of snow. I hope this isn't an indication of the winter to come and that if it is I am in my vehicle heading somewhere warm. 51 was our high today, that is usually our overnight low it's currently 49 and our low tonight is supposed to be 46. WTF I ask.

I know it's cold not only because I am wearing multiple layers but because the cats are staying close and rotating who sits on me. This is full blown winter behavior for them because I have never been a big heat or AC user. It dries me out too much and causes nose bleeds. I do turn the furnace on in winter but the average temperature is usually 50 and then in summer the windows are open and fans are going.

On the bright side we've had a lot of rain this past month which means the trees are going to be beautiful in about a week or so.
