55° (13C) and sunny yesterday, today it's 22° (-6C) and snowing like a motherfucker.
This whole winter has been like this, up and down and up and down and up and down...it sucks. I wish it would just be winter and stay winter FFS.

Night before last it was 10C degrees, quite warm for the season. And then yesterday it was sunny, it rained, then sleet, then freezing rain, then snow, then thunder...then a thunder snow storm in southern Alberta (very rare) and lightning strikes.
Our weather guy was beside himself doing the report card part of his forecast revealing How We Did on the previous forecast
Yesterday's storm...we were supposed to get 0-2 inches in the metro area. I ended up with about a foot at my house.
I wish I could be a meteorologist and be able to be wrong about things ≈ 80% of the time and still keep my job.
Our guys are pretty accurate. We have had years where they predict one to three centimeters of snow and we get two feet.
This entire fall/winter they've been within a few degrees every day and precipitation levels have been almost exact.
Oh they've been really wrong too
The summer of rain. I recall one summer where every Friday afternoon at around 3 or 4 pm it rained. We typically don't get much rain.
This went on for about 8-10 weeks in the summer and our weather people would never predict it. So the weekdays would be really nice, then like clockwork the weekend hit and it rained.
Guys were taking days off in the middle of the week to do lawnwork etc.
Eventually the weather guy said - Forecast says clear and hot, around 25C degrees. But we know it's going to rain. Plan for rain.
They're constantly wrong here. Much of the blame is put on the mountains since we're right at the base. But still, to be wrong SO often, it's to the point of why even bother having a weather section on the newscast anymore
Oddly though, the one thing they do seem to predict correctly more often than not is the wind.
It's the same situation here. They can totally blow the snow prediction in terms of volume, but they know when it's going to hit to the minute sometimes.
I think we have similar climates in terms of constant change because of being near the mountains. We're on the lee side (east) of the mountains. The BC side stays warm and we get the cold.
Our temperature is going to drop 28 degrees by Sunday. It's no polar vortex, just our normal winter weather.
We've had a really light winter up until now...it's strange watching other parts of the world go through cold temps.
Chicago hit -23F (-30C) for it's coldest day this month and there's tons of gifs and funny pictures about it. We never get sympathy memes

Back in Vermont, we got no sympathy either

Little bit of snow today and colder...because I live in Canada
Just went to the store and thermometer outside said -16C. There's a wind and I notice my hands and face are freezing off.
Then at 11am I notice half the city is at Superstore. Doesn't anyone work during the day???
It's 52° (11C) and sunny here right now
We just haven't been able to acclimate this year. Temps hover around zero for weeks and then bam, the 30 degree drop starts and we all feel like pansyass Californians
