When I was young I remember someone saying if you donā€™t like the weather in Maryland, wait five minutes or drive five miles. So far thatā€™s been pretty true. šŸ¤£

Why do people think that's a unique thing here? Every other temperate climate I've lived in, the locals say the same thing.

Baltimore is in a temperate climate and we're transitioning from winter to spring right now. Some days will be warm, some will be cold.

Yeah, everyone everywhere says that lol. I think the only place that it's really true is a high altitude mountainous area.

You said that youā€™ve lived other places so it could be that plenty of people here havenā€™t lived anywhere else to know if itā€™s unique or not.

It drives me bananas. Iā€™m in a few FB groups for different locations Iā€™ve lived and they all post these stupid memes: ā€œOnly in [insert any location in a mid-latitude]!ā€ Eye roll.

Thereā€™s other factors that make weather in Baltimore extremely unstable. The fact that we are on a peninsula mostly surrounded by the Chesapeake bay for starters

The bay effect moderates temperature swings for the most part. The weather is not abnormally variable here, it's just temperate.

But the constant temp of the bay causes high winds and storms as fronts move through.
