Yesterday the sky was blue.
Today the sky is gray.
Yesterday the sun was shining.
Today it is snowing.
Yesterday 50 degree temperatures.
Today can’t even make it to 30.
Yesterday decided to go out for dinner,
Today we won’t even make it to church.
Welcome to Pennsylvania’s yo-yo weather
You guys have truly had yo-yo weather! I’m always surprised when we experience frost…whole different world on the temperate, in the main, Oregon Coast weather. Stay warm. I am going to try my hand at yesterday/today. Church might be a stretch because of daylight saving time—but that’s just me!
By Friday it is to hit 60 degrees. Go figure.
Silly March Weather. Your format reflects the yo-yo nature!
On of the perks of living in PA.
No snow for us here in Indiana, but a big change in temperature. It is so cold again! After a record breaking 70+ degree day a week ago this morning we were back at 0!
We’re hitting the 60’s by next Friday.
Bob, you said it all! with your poem and your photo! March is so unpredictable! We have had some really bad snowstorms in March. I like the format – could be read as poetry for two voices. Nice!
Thanks, Lynne. This is not how I planned to write this piece, but it is how the piece wanted to be written. I guess it knew best.
Yo-yo weather for sure, as we’ve had in the Midwest. Welcome to late winter, I suppose. I love the way you crafted this poem to bounce back and forth between the weather. It reminds me of Paul Fleischman’s “Joyful Noise” – poetry for two voices…
Truthfully, I didn’t even think of poetry for two voices when I wrote this. It just happened.
It’s amazing how writing offers those little surprises, isn’t it?
Definitely.
Perfect! I just kept looking out the window and shaking my head today.
And then this afternoon the sun came out.
It sleet snowed this morning, but was warm. The sun came out this afternoon, but it was freezing. This time of year is always crazy weather wise. Glad to know it’s not just a New York thing.
We had sun yesterday afternoon, with high wind gusts that caused drifting, of course.
Oh wow, look at that snow storm! I love the format of your post and want to try it out this month. We had 60 degree days last weekend and yesterday was 21–with the weather app sharing that it felt like 10 degrees outside because of the bitter wind. Still, spring will be here soon! Even if it doesn’t look like it where you live!
Today: sun is shining, wind is blowing, snow is drifting.
