Weather

Hey y'all!

So I know Tyler wrote about this earlier in the week, but it's a pretty big deal:

Weather

In case you didn't notice, we had our first ever Fall Break this past weekend. Also, and you may have missed this, it got ree-diculously cold on Monday night and it hasn't changed since then. Now, if you're a freshman from anywhere south of Fayetteville, this may be the coldest you've ever been. "Wow," you're thinking, "I've never been this cold before! I guess winter comes early in the Ozarks. Oh, well, I'll take my summer stuff home and start bundling up!"

Wrong-o!

Like Tyler, I've lived up here for all of my 21 years, 9 months, and 20 days. This is not winter....I repeat....this is not winter. This is just Ozark weather. It will warm back up, promise. You'll be back in shorts before Thanksgiving, trust me.

"Okay," you're telling yourself, "it will get warm again, but then it'll be cold for some of November and December and then it's the spring semester and it'll be back to wonderful warmth again! Woo-hoo!!!"

Sorry, wrong again.

For some reason, the Ozarks don't really even start winter until January. So when you get back from Winter Break it will be colder than when you left. Then it will get colder in February and start snowing. Then in March it will get even colder and the snow will just say, "Forget being snow, I'm gonna be ice!" This is when winter gets fun. And by fun I mean dangerous. When it ices (yes, WHEN) and we get out of class next March, don't leave your dorm/apartment/house. It's not worth it.

So, long story short: don't count summer out yet, don't think December is the coldest month, and bring your winter clothes back here from break!

Thanks for reading!
