April Showers

Weatherwise in Florida, April is generally the least cruel month.  This year, however, something strange is happening.  We have had a lot of rain, and, oddly, thunderstorms.  I’ve seen lightening, which I usually associate with summer, but the most recent line of storms–which soaked me Monday morning while I was riding my bike to work–ushered in a cold front.  It was 85 degrees on Sunday afternoon; tonight’s low will be 32 degrees.  Meanwhile, the pastures along Interstate 10 are flooded, and the rivers, too, look as though they could cover the highway any day now.
