This is the time of year when Weather Words are in their prime!
It is a time of Early Sunsets and Late Sunrises.
Some people count the days until December 21st or the Winter Solstice, following which the days become "Longer" again.
Weather Words are often closely linked with clothing words. Rain-boots, for example.
Or, in sunnier seasons, Sun-hat.
These days, the weather forecasting and reporting media can send the daily humidity and weather reports for your area to your email inbox.
This report can be helpful, so that, if you choose to read it, you can leave home in the morning, go out for your day, and have all the right accessories along with you. IE: Umbrella, Gloves, Neck-scarf, or Sunglasses!
Gene Kelly (Singing In the Rain) and Burt Bacharach (Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head) performed music that gives hope to humans, even when the Weather seems discouraging.
"Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella" is another song giving rise to optimism in a season set to make the locality's vegetation green.
And then, there's the English phrase, "Everybody talks about the Weather, but nobody does anything about it".
What English words would you choose to describe the Weather we experience?

Vancouver Winter - Second Season - 2011
The First Friday in March, 2011. A high temperature tomorrow morning of 4 degrees. Only 20 days until the official commencement of Spring, 2011. It looks as though the Groundhog was right.
Next weekend, on Sunday the 13th of March, 2011, book a nap into your day timer or calendar appointment app. Nap= N.A.P. or, Natural Activity Pause! During the cold weather, you may find extra rest the best way to ward off a time-sapping virus, or, indeed, to get through one in a pharmaceutical-free manner! Especially on the day that loses us one whole hour!
The first day of Daylight Savings Time comes after a Saturday night. Think about it! Cold weather, weather for a cold, a late night out, and, boom! - Daylight Savings Time! Remember, this is not "Summer"time!
In Vancouver, B.C., Canada, the Daylight Savings Time comes one week before the Spring Equinox. It's best to hang the clothes in your closet by colour, rather than by Season. Why? Because in Vancouver, we have World Class Weather! - Weather from Every Part of the World, EVERY DAY!!

October's Occasional Outbursts! (From The Skies)
Rain, Rain, Go Away, Come Again, Another Day!
Or, "How Green Was My Valley"
The choice is yours. Well, of course, not your choice as to weather it rains, or not, (unless you are truly spiritually evolved!) but, definitely your choice as to how your attitude towards the rain is!
Do you love lush, green lawns and parks? Gardens with variety of not just colour, but also fragrance? Then, be thankful for this rain of the day.
If you prefer desert climes, then see your travel agent. (I know, I know, ...online bookings can be best - but beware the here-now-gone-in-3-more-clicks enticements!) Try getting to know the difference between Price & Value. Book your trip to a dry destination with a voice and, even better, a qualified person with whom you are having eye contact!
Happy Vacation!

Sleep By Any Other Name:In For a "Spell" of Bad Weather?
Sleep Shut-eye
Weary
Tired
Bagged Exhausted
Too tired to care? Time for rejuvenation. Rest, regenerate, and rise.
Vancouver weather, in our coastal climate, and so close to the Mountains, enjoys World Class status. - Weather from every part of the world, every day. (Hint: to reduce grumbling, hang the clothes in your closet by colour, not "season", and dress for your day by the best Weather Report.) What's this got to do with sleep?
High pressure ridges, and low pressure systems, humidity, aridity, sunshine, and rain. For certain people, all these changes, often occurring in short succession, find that their sleep patterns are affected. For example, when the weather is changing from high pressure (usually with clear skies), to a low pressure system (usually bringing clouds starting off at the mountains), the atmosphere can feel heavy, giving way to the expression "feeling heavy-lidded".
One may feel sleepy, even when having had enough rest, during the process of this change in atmospheric pressure.
Environment Canada has a report for Farmers that could help you plan your days in this regard. Unlike the normal weather reports, which are almost flippant in some mediums, the Environment Canada site Weather Office of Environment Canada Link gives the humidity percentage in the Farmers Weather Reports.
No amount of pressure, weather high nor low, seems to be able to provoke the mainstream stations into adding the humidity percentages into their reports.
In any case, the pressure is dropping, and sleep is at hand.
