For those of us who live in the Delta in Mississippi, we all know how bipolar our weather can be. It can be sweltering hot one day then storming so bad it drops several degrees. You can be wearing shorts and a tank top then having to bring out the thickest sweatpants, sweatshirts, and long-sleeves you got. Not to mention that when it's supposed to be the winter season and it's 70 degrees outside for most of the time (yeah, I'm talking about this past winter!). Mississippi weather just doesn't know what it wants to do and the Delta is especially indecisive with its moods.

1. The weather forecast shows there will be a 50% chance of snow.

Okay, whenever there's the slightest possibility that there will be snow in the South period people tend to get pretty darn excited. Myself included, but the few times we have seen and played around in the snow are few and far between. In other words, the chance of us actually having even a few inches of snow in the middle of February is pretty slim. Especially when it was just 70 degrees the other day and it stormed which in turn brought the temperature down. We can only hope, I guess.

2. Practically hailing one minute then sunny about two hours later.

When Mother Nature decides to let the rain come down in the Delta, boy, does it rain. It'll rain and pour and hail for hours one minute then the next the sun is out. No more crackling thunder or flashes of lightning. Just the sun out with the birds chirping happily as they can be while the rest of us are blindsided by the temperature change. Whenever someone not from the South or Delta comes down, y'all better be prepared to have a dose of the Delta crud as we call it. With all the constant change in temperature and humidity, it can make anyone sick or have sinus infections.

The joys of rain and then clear sunny skies.

3. Dark gray skies and thunder, but it remains completely docile until the next morning where it pours all day.

Yeah, I see you there dark foreboding clouds! You're just going to hang around all day and night, gathering all the water particles in the air, and then unleash it the next day when I have to walk to class. Because, of course, you can't just rain as much as you want at night while I'm asleep. You just have to rain and pour while I go to class so I can get soaking wet (even with an umbrella and raincoat) then stop raining while I'm in class.

Rude.

4. It's sunny and warm outside, but the wind is so out of control and strong there's no point in fixing your hair cute for the day.

The wind here in the Delta is no joke. It can be nice and docile one minute then next it's trying to blow you off your feet. Since there aren't any hills to block the wind when it gets nasty, there's no stopping feeling the full brunt of the wailing gales. So, if you're like me who decides to fix up her hair all nice like, then you better bring yourself a hat or ponytail holder because it's going to be ruined by the time you take one step outside. But at least your hair looked cute in the comfort of your apartment or dorm or house. Gotta have the small victories when facing Mother Nature.

5. It's cold in the morning (like almost 40 degrees) and turns sweltering hot by mid-afternoon.

It's practically freezing in the morning as soon as you step outside and you hustle along to get to the car or to classes or back inside. The wind bites into your cheeks and makes your lips chapped, but you've got the thickest jacket on so you're warm. But, as soon as noon comes around you can bet that the air is getting warmer until it's borderline hot again.

If you're like me, then you're cursing this bipolar weather and wondering why it can't ever make up it's mind about what it wants to do. I don't think the Delta weather will ever change in that regard, and even though I complain about it, I wouldn't change it one bit.
