This is scary. It feels as if we tipped past something the climate scientists and everyone else didnt know about and are about to go on a wild ride.
I'm in a southern Chicago suburb. Yesterday it was over 70 degrees, last night we had hail and tornadoes, then I wake up to snow flurries. There are trees and plants doing things they shouldn't for weeks and I suspect my spring allergies are already starting.
While part of me is embracing the "milder" days, it's also a bit unnerving.
I stand outside and smoke and it feels like nothing more than the calm before the storm
