Outdoors: it's where we go when we're feeling cooped up or want some exercise. It's where we go when we have to get somewhere.
The outdoors is fine. But its partner in crime, weather, needs to stop trolling us. Most of us didn't go to meteorology school. Most of us aren't prepared for the wack curveballs weather insists on throwing at us. Most of us are just trying to survive going outside.
I don't see the big deal, looks like a pleasant day.
*looks in mirror*
Apparently some kind of darkness monster is on our tail. Put the pedal to the metal and don't turn around.
Apparently this phenomenon is known as light pillars, and the weather has to be just right. The weather is literally messing with the way that we perceive light.
I have family in Phoenix, but I'd never want to live there. It isn't the heat that's the problem — it's the choking dust storms. Never visit during haboob season.
I'm not great at identifying clouds, but if pressed, I'd have to say this is a cumulogetouttahere cloud formation that means some kind of horrible apocalyptic storm is on its way.
That's not a lightning strike. There's clearly a giant, _Independence Day-_style spacecraft just out of frame and it's using its tractor beam to abduct people. No thanks.
You need to make up your mind, Michigan. Going from winter to spring and back to winter again in the span of three days is soul-destroying.
I don't know what constitutes "zombie weather" and I hope I never do. But if I look closely at this pic, I think I can hear Rick Grimes calling for "COARL!".
I didn't even know this was possible and I have so many questions.
I thought snow was bad, but at least it melts...eventually. So unless this dessert is well-serviced by sand-plows, this road might be impassable for a long while.
Clouds are nice to look at. Then they start swirling. Then they get closer and swirlier. Then they make contact with the ground. Next thing you know, you're in Kansas.
Yesterday: big waves, brisk breeze, altogether not a bad day to grab your boogie board.
Today? The apocalypse is upon us, and we now live in Waterworld.
Although, I have a feeling that Ghostface's idea of a scary movie is The Day After Tomorrow. It doesn't really pack the same punch, though.
As we can see, it erases all evidence that the previous weather even happened. Nice try, but we have the proof.
As far as I can tell, the only way to simulate the feeling is to end up on a roller-coaster against your own will.
Sure, the fact that it looks like Sub-Zero's rampage is pretty cool, but good luck getting that bike to ever start again.
Enjoy those freaky days where you can wear a T-shirt in February while they last, people.
Oh well, at least it'll probably change back just as quickly.
I'm impressed that this person was able to remove it in one piece. I would totally use this as a decoration in my apartment, if only it wouldn't melt...
As much as I'd like to roll my eyes at this, I also know that I'd pretty much melt if I ever visited Texas in the summer, so yeah...
This is apparently what happens to eyelashes at -47°C. Yeah, I don't think I want to participate in this makeup trend.
And this situation can only get worse when this stuff inevitably refreezes two hours later. I guess they need to pack a chisel with their ice scrapers.
Did someone confirm that the end of times were upon us and I missed it? Is the sun going full supernova? Are we getting sucked into a black hole?
You know how when a video game doesn't want you to go any further, it puts an impassable barrier in your way? Yeah. This is the real-world version.
First it floods, then it freezes, then it surrounds your car with a gravity-defying layer of ice. Congrats, winter. You've officially broken me.
The nice thing about a freak hailstorm in the middle of summer is that it really isn't hard to get on its trail or see where it hit.
If you were born a tree (I know, I know, just play along), would you rather be located a) in a lush redwood grove, b) along a tropical beach, or c) here?
Unless breaking off chunks of ice and throwing them at the fire will put it out, this hydrant won't do them any good now.
"This is what it looks like after you surf Lake Superior in winter."
...but, apparently, if you live in Florida, Arizona, Nevada, or any other boiling hellhole, your blinds can melt
They were just trying to eat, or spawn, or do whatever it is that fish do. Then Hurricane Sandy hits and they're part of a chain link fence.
Reddit user DONTthinkTWICE2286 posted this photo, which belongs to a friend of his who's into local vintage photos.
For instance, it was very neighborly of this hot day to open this person's drink for them...all over their car's interior.
The ceiling might be a bit low and the basement might be a bit destroyed, but in this bleak season it's important to focus on the positive.
