March Came Marching in

Prompt: March Weather
“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.”
Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
How is the weather in March treating you where you are, this year?

Hahaha! Anything weird may have something to do with South Florida and this March is no exception. Anyhow, in itself, March is a transition month when winter and spring always battle it out, and it always surprises, no matter in which part of the country I've ever lived.

Last night, here, it rained some and it is a relief since the city's water reservoirs need every single drop, at the moment. Then, today, in the early morning, I needed a sweater. At this time while I'm writing this, I'm in short sleeves and shorts. It is very possible I'll have to turn on the AC in the mid-afternoon. Daytime we're in the seventies to eighties, but the temperature falls at night. It could be somewhere between 40 to 60 some degrees.

For up north, it was said that, when the warm air started to push in, cold air would push back. This resulted in the March winds. Yet, I don't live up north anymore, and our winds stay in the winter months, and late summer to fall season, when the hurricanes threaten. We might, however, get a few occasional short-lived gusts or breezes.

Going back to our AC and heating uses, it is possible that we'll to go from turning the heat on to using the AC within the same day, and this will keep happening. It is like our weather here is having a kiddie tantrum or some kind of a hysteria, while smiling at the same time, and not only in March, either.
