Geek On The Mountain

So weather is smalltalk. Blogging about the weather is kind of lame. I know I’ve done it before, but not usually in a post of it’s own. But damn it, I enjoy talking about the weather….

We have snow. It’s covering the ground (about 90% anyways). It actually snowed all day yesterday, but for the most part it was too warm to accumulate. On the other hand, when I got out of work at 10:00 last night, I had to scrape my windows, though the roads were just wet still. It’s supposed to snow more today and I see that we have a high of 36. On the other hand, tomorrow we’re back up to 49 so anything we actually get will melt right off.

This is of course no big deal accept that it’s the end of April. It usually doesn’t snow at the end of April. This past Wednesday it was 80 (unseasonably warm, although I see it was that warm last year at this time as well for a period). Now it’s snowing. This is the crap I have to deal with. Pfft.

The saying is April showers bring May flowers….where the hell does the snow fit in?

(It’s actually funny as well, because I was looking at the average monthly rainfall for P-Town here and our rainiest month, on average, is actually August, which I’d think one of the driest..)

Carrie Jo pointed out an Enneagram Quiz in a comment on the last entry. I got looking into it a little bit and thought it was sufficiently interesting to mention.

The Enneagram is basically a nine-pointed system to describe your personality. I suppose you can read into it all as far as you’d like, but I think the basic idea is to get some sort of an idea about yourself and what pitfalls you may experience. It’s just kind of a self reflection thing, in my opinion. I’m not sure it did anything but reaffirm what I already knew, but I did think it was interesting.

I took this quiz and another several times and each time I came out as either a 4 or a 5 with the other very close behind with a noticeable gap between them and the other 7 categories. Looking at descriptions, both types seem to fit me pretty well (though probably moreso in how I think than how I act…).
