Alright, you know what? I’ve finally had it with the weather here. I know that being from Florida has spoiled me silly, but isn’t it supposed to be warmer than 55 degrees in late May? Two days ago, that’s what we had. And I mean that was the *high* that day. Right now, it’s 77, but it’s also hailing. With the sun out. Winter apparently lasts eight months here. And before you say, “Well, at least Virginia doesn’t have hurricanes”, talk to the people who lost their roofs in Isabel in ’03, or those folks in Shockoe Bottom who saw the 17 feet of water that Tropical Storm Gaston dumped on them last fall. There are a lot of things that I love about Richmond, but the weather here is NOT on that list.
