Raging On: The weather patterns of Winter

Howdy, and welcome to another edition of Raging On, a chance for me to bitch about things that are relevant to today's society. Today's topic, although completely random, is pretty relevant with the impending changing of the seasons.

Yesterday was by far the most beautiful day we've had this year. The temperatures were in the 60s, the sun was shining bright, and the cool, yet gale-like breeze was more refreshing than bone-chilling. All in all it was a great day. Now, its storming outside and the temperature, albeit mild and spring-like, has a tinge of chill in it. Tonight, the temperatures are going to plummet some 30 degrees and begin to snow. In the morning it will barely hit 30 degrees. The next day? Forcasted low of 15. WHY!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Its no secret that in the midwest, the weather is as unpredictable as a drunk uncle at a wedding reception, but why, if we are an adaptable species, do I get sick everytime we have a weather change like this? Shouldn't my body be adapting to this temperature swings with ease? What is the root cause for getting sick just because the temps are down 20+ degrees from the day before? Its not like I'm sticking my head out a window during the change. It sucks, and I want it to stop. I've been sick 14 times this winter, a personal record. And these aren't the sniffles, either. This is full-blown sinus infections, severe chest congestion, and head congestion that borders on torture. Hell, I woke up this morning with a nice sore throat, the beginning of yet another onslaught. I FUCKING HATE MIDWESTERN WEATHER!!!!!!!!!!!

This has been Raging On, have a wonderful, rage-filled day. Please visit Relevent Irreverence, a new internet destination for all things artistic, musical, and disturbing.
