Dear Winter 2017 Weather,

Where do I begin? You've sure been unpredictable. We've experienced blizzards and warm days in the same week multiple times. We love it when you bring us warm days, but your cold days bring us back to what you're supposed to be.

Even on the cold days, we've come to the point that spring has arrived. When you see robins and cardinals on your campus, even in 30-degree weather, there's no denying that spring is here. It's common to see rain in March, but it's also possible to see some snow. Granted, you gave us more snow this year. We also love it when you give us days off from school, even though I was already on spring break.

The things is, since you've given us a crazy winter, what do we expect the rest of the year? Are the fluctuating patterns going to continue? Will it be warm one day but cooler the next? From the way things look, the latter is the most likely to occur. But honestly, since no one expected this, we don't know what'll happen next.

Even though you've been crazy to us in New York, thank you, Winter '17 weather. You've brought us good days and bad days, but we've had a lot of fun in the process with your unpredictability. Let's just hope Spring '17 will be a little more reasonable.

Sincerely,

A somwehat delightfully confused New Yorker
