After staying home for 2 days attempting to cure what seemed like a pollen allergy (my first time getting it ever!), I decided to step outside for lunch today.
Unexpectedly, I was greeted by a wonderful 59 degree-weather that feels like..., well, 59 degree!!
It was beautiful and sunny - albeit a hint of chilly winter breeze.
But after surviving an unusually long (and cold and wet) winter, who am I to complain? According to a recent AJC article, this past winter "will be remembered for its long periods of below-normal temperatures." No kidding! We Georgians are used to wearing flip-flops during wintertime!
Unfortunately, on the article WSB-TV meteorologist David Chandley also said that we will see above-normal rainfall through April and below-normal temperatures. Nyeah -- more rain :(
Sigh...While it puts an end towards the drought that our lovely Atlanta had suffered from the past few years, I still have mixed-feelings about this one. Mainly cause we're supposed to have our awesome Aper[TOUR] this Sunday...but the chance of rain is 50-50. Grrr... ;)
Anyways, just wanted to highlight some "lowlights" from the winter of 2009-2010:
Dec. 25 – Atlanta recorded 1.8 inches of rain on Christmas Day (we were disappointed cause the weathermen predicted WHITE Christmas but instead it turned out to be a WET Christmas)
Jan. 8, 9 – The coldest days of the winter. The afternoon high on Jan. 8 was only 31, and the following morning, the mercury plunged to a numbing 13 degrees before reaching an afternoon high on Jan. 9 of just 32.
Jan. 25 – The wettest day of the winter. The 2.75 inches of rain that fell was also a record for the date.
Feb. 12 – The snowiest day of the winter. Atlanta's official recording station at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport reported 3.6 inches of snow. (YEah - on second thought - we'll settle for a WHITE Valentine's!! ^__^)
Stay tuned to see whether we need to re-schedule the Aper[TOUR]...(I know, I know...)
