Antarctica, you are on my shit list too

So I heard the other day that the temperature out here was going to cool down a little bit and that there was going to be a cold front moving in from Antarctica... Well it definitely moved in, and it seems to have settled in just fine. Monday was such a nice day, not cold at all, warm even and sunny. Tuesday was slightly overcast, but I went to the park and didn’t even need a sweater or anything. Then Wednesday hit and it has been raining non-stop since then. I would be ok if it was only some rain, but the temperature went waaaaay down. It went from a nice mid- to low 80’s to mid- 50’s…. that is one big cool down! Yesterday I had layered on a tank top, a long sleeved shirt over that and a regular t-shirt layered over that, plus my coat (not my big winter coat, but a coat nonetheless) and a scarf, a beanie, and my nice leather boots…. And I was freezing on the walk home from work. They said on the news that it should stop raining tonight; let’s hope they’re right. I didn’t listen to whether or not it’s supposed to get warmer, but I am assuming it will since it is supposed to be just a cold front moving through. Yesterday I heard some man exclaim, “Well, fall is definitely here.” All I could think is this is not fall weather, this is winter weather! Which, if you really think about it, in this area of Italy it is fall weather, I think it just seems colder than it is because it was such a drastic and sudden change. I get a feeling I better prepare myself for a very cold winter; I hope it snows this year, because last year was very disappointing!
