Weather

Weather is different everywhere depending on where you live. The weather in Iowa is extremely different than weather in Florida. For instance Iowa winters consist of a steady zero degree and below zero degree temperature with a ton of snow and ice. Where Florida winters are around 65 degrees at the coldest and they see snow maybe once every 10 years.

Weather can mean a lot of things. It can be used to describe the temperature outside or even inside. It can be used as a joke also. Like when a tall person says to the shorter person, “Hey, how’s the weather down there?”. Sometimes that “joke” can be taken the wrong way, but it can also actually be taken as a joke. Weather can also be used as a topic/headline like on the news, they say “and up next is so and so with the weather”.

 Weather is so weird. It changes all the time, actually every day. Not only does what falls from the sky (rain, snow, hail) change along with temperature, but so do the trees. In the fall the trees are full of beautiful colored leaves but once it hits winter all those leaves fall and the trees are now bare and in some areas covered in snow.

Weather determines a lot of things. It determines how you get to school, transportation wise. For instance if you normally ride your bike and it is raining then you will most likely drive. It also determines what you wear that day. If it is freezing you will wear a winter coat with gloves and a hat with a scarf and sweatpants or jeans to stay nice and cozy. If it is summer time and hot out then you will probably decide to wear a tank top with shorts and flip-flops. The weather basically runs your daily wardrobe. If you are going to play in a soccer tournament and the forecast says it’s supposed to be 40 degrees the whole weekend, you are going to want to make sure and pack your under armor to keep your torso and arms warm and leggings to keep your legs warm. It’s also very smart to double up on your soccer socks if it is really cold out because it will keep you that much warmer. Also if you have hand and feet warmers they last for a long time and stay hot. They are a life saver especially if you get cold really easy.

So always look at the forecast and be prepared to change your outfit accordingly. It may be frustrating at times because you may have your outfit picked out already but it’s ok. You don’t want to be that one person who is wearing short jean shorts and a cute short sleeve top in the middle of winter just because it looks cute, trust me. (478)
