It's been difficult getting used to the weather down here. First, there was no snow unless you really count the one inch of ice we had in the beginning of January. I did miss the snow and I know for those of you in the northeast you really feel bad for me. Somehow, as soon as we left New Jersey Christmas week, winter arrived up there and it was a tough winter. With temperatures in the 50's and sometimes lower than 40 degrees, it was a "cold winter" down here, one of the coldest they've had in many years. We even had to bundle up in winter hats and coats while we walked along the beach!
And, now we have to get used to endless sunshine. Going into this past week we had I think twelve straight beautiful days of sunshine and mid 70's to mid 80's weather. How can you grow new grass at a new house without any rain? We have been roughing it with struggles like this.
However, this past week we were finally going to get some rain. The forecast showed no sunshine and a 20-70% chance of rain for the next ten straight days. The first two days we had five minutes of heavy rain and a few sprinkles and two days of sunshine, it's been tough.
But, we finally did get some rain and my grass is growing and our palm tree is very green on top. Still the forecast the next ten days shows no sun and rain every single day. The sun was shining early this morning and we may see it more during the day, but right now we do have some rain.
I'm afraid it's going to take awhile to get used to the South Carolina weather.
