Is This London or St Louis?

The old adage in St Louis is if you stick around for an hour the weather will change. For the most part it is true. We can go from cold and wet to warm and dry in the span of a day. But this new year so far has tested our endurance for extremes. This time two weeks ago, it was in the single digits with 3-inches of snow on the ground. Today, it is in the forties and looks like London England


I just wish it would decide whether it is going to be winter or spring. My sinuses cant take much more of this back and forth stuff.
