I don’t doubt it — dry climate there, and few clouds, bright sun, definitely want some RayBans.
I need sunglasses more in the winter on some days, those rare instances when that gunmetal overcast blows off and the Sun is actually visible. :’) That wasn’t such a big problem this winter. And now, the tundra, er, dormant landscape has begun to emerge bigtime as the snow has been melting off. There was no sudden melting as I had predicted, which makes me concerned about how warm the summer will be.
We’re seeing 40°s during the day, but it’s still getting down into the low 20°s at night. It is
already sidereal “Spring,” and we expected warming, but we’re not getting it at night.
The bugs, birds, and small animals are stirring from their Winter’s naps, and it’s not the
temperatures that bring them out, but the light. It’s lighter, so out they come.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t work out well for the bugs, for they freeze to death at night.
Here’s hoping that Summer will be close to Summer temperatures, otherwise we may
be in for chilly beach weather this year, and possibly for years to come.
