@@listeningservantsministries.a few days ago, I woke up my daughter for school, and told her that it was in the 30s that morning, with a “feels like” temperature in the 20s. She asked frantically “wasn’t it in the 90s yesterday?!?” I told her yes, and “welcome to Texas,” because I guess you could still be born here, and not understand the weather.

Nothing like Oklahoma weather -- 38° in the morning, pushing 80° in the afternoon...then 28° and a bit of freezing rain the next day. Then highs in the 60s and 70s after that. That was this past week.

Mid Missouri here. I know. Not officially a southern state. But a few days ago, February 27th, we had a record-high 81 degrees, and 9 hours later, it was 31 and snowing.

We’re in that weather season here in Texas where I go from long sleeves/pants to long sleeves/shorts to short sleeves/shorts all in the same day!

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

The weather is like a boxof chocolates right after you step out of the store. With a little help from the heat and humidity it turns into a MELTED box of chocolate which is what our weatherman ran into!

[@katie7748]

The weather almost everywhere in the US is like that. Bless your little hearts thinking you're so special.

[@erichvereen1988]

This is, by far, the most accurate and precise depiction of Southern weather. I'm laughing because we experience it every day here on the NC/SC border. 😋

[@quazy1328]

In Texas we call this the rain season. Would call is spring if we had that.

[@DavidDrummondTX]

I for one enjoyed both days of spring in Texas this year before summer hit then winter returned. Then everything caught fire.

[@random2829]

I think it goes Freezing -> Tornados -> Sweltering. Don't need "fancy" names in Texas.

Texans call late February-late October "SIMMER" because it heats up and stays that way until that first arctic cold front blows through.

I came here looking for the Texan that would say "oh, that's just Tuesday over here" 🙃

[@sharonsmith583]

Yep! My parents live in a medium-sized town in Georgia, and i visit them about every six weeks, and i swear, every time i visit there is a new weather person from a different part of the country. My dad will say, yeah, i guess Autumn/Amber/Amanda couldn't take the humidity and shufflede on back to Buffalo/NJ, etc.

[@annaalva2320]

It's hard to be a cute weather girl with your hair on point with 87 percent humidity.😂

One of the weather girls here doesn't give the humidity. Instead, she uses a "hairdo meter." One of them is "Just give up and wear a hat."

James spann losing his jacket couldn’t have been more accurate 😂😂😂

[@kurtb8474]

I do local weather reports for a radio station. I'm in the Sacramento Valley of California. I'm not a meteorologist. I was looking over the weather data for the first day of Spring one year. It was going to be a comfortable 70 degrees. But the forecast high 2 days later was going to be 98! I felt like this guy. I told my friends "Today is the first day of Spring. And Tuesday is going to be the first day of Summer."

[@sandangels73]

70°- 98°? That's child's play here in western Oklahoma.

[@hkandm4s23]

Yeah.... here in Oklahoma on Tuesday it went from 88° to 33° and snowing in about 12 hours.

[@annaalva2320]

Well yes, Central coast here. there's not one drop of rain from the end of May until maybe October or November. It's just hot with a chance of smoke and fires until night happens and you freeze your butt off til morning.

[@carolynridlon3988]

I know that Sacramento weather (lived in the central valley for about 45+ years!) It is boring compared to where I live now - western Kentucky!

[@TheKyPerson]

I woke up last week to 11 weather alerts in our area ranging from high winds, rain, thunderstorms and finally a tornado watch. So I went to work and was happy I had put my garbage can inside the garage. About an hour after I got to work, the weather warning sirens went off and everyone ran out to see what was happening. Nothing. So we checked the weather guy on X and he said the sirens just went off and they were trying to figure out why since there was no bad weather near us. About another hour later, the tornado watch was gone and I went home in 75 degree weather with the sun shining.

[@themanifestorsmind]

The sirens went off and everybody went...outside? Yep, you must be southern😂😂😂

[@RNMom424]

SO VERY TRUE! NWGA here. Almost TN - Almost AL! 😁 In the past 4 weeks, we've seen temps from single digits to 70's, bright sunny days to rain, cold rain, snow, forwards then backwards! Rain storms, thunder storms, & wind storms, but no pollen storms yet! Bare branches to budding branches & brown grass to daffodils! Mother nature is surely menopausal! She hooked up w/ Jack Frost a couple of weeks ago! 😂

[@TheCripeCrew]

This time of year in the Midwest the daily high temperatures look like Powerball numbers

[@CortexNewsService]

I may actually use that method to play the lottery this week.

[@HistoryNerd808]

Used to think this as a Virginian and Texan but as I'm living in Kansas, I've since learned that Southern weather is pretty tame. It dropped 50+° here in 10 hours on Wednesday for instance.

[@killersopinion1829]

That exact temperature drop happened 2 years ago here in Louisiana. It was wild!

In middle Georgia, we say you know it's serious of Ben isn't wearing a jacket. I guess that's relevant throughout the South.

And when he rolls up his sleeves it's really going down! But he's been with us since he was a wee baby meteorologist, at this point he's probably more accurate than the models

Flashbacks to my teen years in Tennessee. I once saw Pat Sajak (when he was the WSM TV weatherman) start laughing because the 5 day forecast was all over the place.

[@joshuastrawser9160]

You do kind of have to feel for our tv meteorologists - every day is a white knuckle ride through every possible scenario. "Tornados Monday noon, snow this evening, then 85° by midday tomorrow with thunder showers, and keep an eye on that flash flooding while you enjoy the sunny afternoon."

[@WildMarie4]

A Texas gal here. Exactly! Haha! I look at the weather the way they did before any technology. Go outside and look, bring and umbrella and sweater everywhere I go.

[@Ambers128]

Texas panhandle has a wildfire with over a million acres burned... And they had snow

[@melaD333]

I’m in OK and I agree with this weather report. I have literally had a Freeze Warning, High Fire Danger, Severe Thunderstorm Warning and Tornado Watch alerts on my phone on the same day. At least we didn’t have an earthquake that day.

Too funny! I grew up in S. FL where we had to worry about severe afternoon t-storms and hurricanes, and my grandparents were in northern AL where I went through a double tornado on the way there around 1974. Now, I’ve lived in southwestern Ohio since 1976, and we now get the craziest damn weather. In 2008, Hurricane Ike took out the electric in all 88 counties. On Memorial Day 2019, 15 tornadoes hit the area, and just last week on Feb. 29, we had 2 tornadoes hit the area again. The temps go from 72 one day to in the 20s the next. Weather never used to be this crazy.

[@DanielaBodoh]

True story: In 4th or 5th grade or sometime during late elementary school, we had our track and field day as we did every year. Of course this involved being outside. Well Mother Nature decided that day to mess with us a little. We were outside, and then it started to rain so we immediately headed inside. Only then, when we all got inside, it stopped raining so we went back outside. Only for the rain to start again, we go back inside, rain stops, we go back outside, and the cycle continues a few times over. You just can't make this stuff up.

[@kilobravo3862]

I love the homage to James Spann with the taking off of the suit coat during the emergency weather and the suspenders. 😊
