global warming says "O HAI."

At this point I'm starting to wonder if spring will ever get here. The sun's out and it's bright and lovely, but it snowed again late last night and there are still visible drifts on the roofs visible in my window, let alone the sidewalk, which is probably either solid snow or turning to ice.

Considering how we got about 2 weeks of summer in late July last year, I'm wondering if I should just cut my losses and throw away all my summer clothes now. Of course it would save a bit of money if you only needed long pants and closed shoes and jackets all year long - and it would spare the trouble of packing up off-season clothes since you'd never have any.

Remember when global warming was something that was going to have consequences in the sort-of distant future, like not necessarily in our lifetime? And now it's like "oops, the end of the global ecosystem as we know it might be in under ten years" and "actually, it's too late even if we never emit another particle of greenhouse gases at all" and "haha, global warming is already here." Goodbye, polar icecaps. Please don't flood Finland/produce a new ice age until after I'm dead.

I'm really kind of dying for these boots. Even though they're from the eighties (which I generally dislike though it's a current trend), I've always had a soft spot for flat boots and scrunched boots, and the pointed top - and red, my favourite colour for shoes - it's so, well, superhero! The online shop they come from, ModCloth, is wonderful. I'd buy everything they sell if I were going to spend an unlimited amount of money on clothes suddenly.
