Welcome to global warming, where the summers become insufferable and the winters become unpredictable.

I've always joked that Virginia is bipolar but holy hell is the weather nuts!

Don't forget these gems:

  • the mosquitos come out for brief spurts mid-winter and earlier in the spring and stay out later in the early fall
  • the trees and plants start blooming mid-winter just before a freeze and stunt their growth
  • the grass starts to wake up before having to go dormant again
  • spring pollen season starts early, then stops, then starts again, then stops, then it's really pollen season.

Oh, and invasive fire ants continue their march north from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and North Carolina.

Aaaaaaahh, transitionary climates are so chaotic!

One of my favorite things about not living in Houston anymore is no fire ants. I’m gonna have to move further north again pretty soon

They were terrible growing up in south Florida. Didn’t miss them at all and I’m dreading the fact that they’re moving into VA 😑
