can we talk?

Dear Mother Nature,

Have you misplaced your notes about Seattle’s weather?  I first began to wonder about this last summer.  Remember those 3 days of sunshine you gave to us before you switched to fall?  We have been pretty bitter around here about being jipped out of summer.  But we are an optimistic people, and spun our non-existent summer into a sign of a mild winter and gorgeous spring.    We Seattleites have always appreciated that you give one nice snow during the winter .  A chance for the kids to play in the snow, a reason for the adults to stay home from work.  But was last winter really necessary?  And speaking of last winter’s snow, what is it doing here is spring?  Did you forget that April in Seattle means tulips and a few days of sandals without socks?  It is April 18^th and I am gazing out my window at snow.  Lots and lots of snow.  In case you missed it we were all pretty ticked off about the snow that fell April 1^st.  This is snow is just too much.  You have pushed us over the edge.  Our hopes dashed and spirits broken.
