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?
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.
It is time to reimagine the weathervane. With the typical
notion that weathervanes are for country homes or an older generation, it is no
surprise that people have a difficult time trying to place the necessity of
weathervanes in today’s society. With the massive amounts of weather apps on
the market, their need in your life may seem nonexistent—but weathervanes can
serve an all-new, creative, and trendy purpose.
Think of them as an indoor decoration for a warehouse style apartment or
loft. Weathervanes come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and designs. They can be
constructed and deconstructed to fit your needs. They are the missing piece on
your accent wall, or the spot to fill the empty space on your end table. The timeless look of weathervanes will never age
your apartment or home; they will enhance its uniqueness and show your
cleverness for design and detail. In the above pictures, you can see two very
different, yet incredible upcycles of typical weathervanes—the picture on the
right showing a more modern decorating choice, and the left an accented wall to
really show style. The upcycle decorating trend will never go out of style…so,
why not start here?
