Missouri weather can be such an adventure. Every morning when you open your door you get something new. Fall has abruptly made it's presence known these past few days. Yesterday I got my first sunburn in a very long time, but shivered as I talked to El Pete in my driveway as the sun sunk away. Tomorrow's high is 86, but today my toes are cold as I sit indian style at my desk.
I'm sure God will toss us some nice days in late October, as a parting gift before winter takes control, or maybe to make up for a freaky snowfall early in the month. I love my snowy Chicago Christmases, but Missouri weather is just so much more exciting than weather up north. In Chicago we know what to expect in September (mild cold), October (getting colder) and November through March (varying degrees of freezing). Here, though, tokens of summer can pop up anytime through December, and no weather is more permanent than a week or two.
There's something to be said of a Missourian's innate flexibility when it comes to weather.
