Complaining about the weather has reached epidemic proportions in northern Germany this "spring." And with good reason. With Easter just around the corner, meteorologists are telling us this could end up being the coldest March in Berlin and its surroundings since records began in the 1880s.As a point of reference, the Brooklyn Bridge didn't open until April 1883.

High pressure system Jill and low pressure system Dieter have joined forces to torpedo an Easter full of the flowers and pastels we have come to expect. The average temperature in the northern German states of Berlin, Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt has been minus 2 degrees Celsius (28.4 degrees Fahrenheit) this month. If Jack Frost doesn't head back to Siberia soon, this March could break the record established in 1883, two years after records began.
Me, I blame Global Warming. It causes everything:
Here in the Silicon Swamp, it was the second coldest March on record, and only the second time on record that March was colder than all the previous winter months (the other was 1949).

It wasn't exactly sauna land up here either. I think we had a colder and snowier March than February this year.
ReplyDeleteAt least it felt that way.
The last of the snow is almost gone. Almost.
