Avoiding Sadness from Cleveland Weather

Weather in Cleveland:

How to Avoid Sadness

Yes, this is actually Cleveland. You may not have recognized it without snow and/or rain. 

If you live in Northeast Ohio, you know that lately, the weather has been more sporadic than a rabid bull during a rodeo. Lately, the weather has been turning at the drop of a dime—you can leave your house for the beach one morning and upon your arrival, it is evacuated due to a random and seemingly misplaced thunderstorm. Your problem, albeit annoying, can be fixed in five simple steps:

1. Remind yourself that you live in Northeast Ohio

As painful as this may be, it is completely necessary. Whether you’re a West-sider, East-sider, or “no-sider,” you have to admit to yourself that your location makes the likelihood of unstable weather much higher than other places—and that’s okay, because WE, unlike Florida, have the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

2. Download an app

There is always, ALWAYS an app for that.

3. Stop watching 19 Action News

Trust me (and everyone else that grew up watching Dick Goddard), 19 Action News does NOT have the most accurate weatherman in Cleveland.

4. Buy tissues

Seriously. A lot of people prefer Kleenex, but does it really matter what brand it is if it’s just for wiping away 365 days’ worth of tears?

5. Buy a weathervane

Sure, weathervanes don’t talk to you, and you can’t download them on your phone—but at least when it warns you the weather is going to get a little crazy, it will do so under your favorite animal.
