Dear Kentucky Weather,

I want to start off by saying that I'm sorry, but... I don't think we're working. When you're good, you're good, but when you're bad, it makes me miss the good times so very much. The truth is, I'm just not entirely happy with you. Just in this week, you've been so unpredictable and it's honestly causing me a lot of confusion. This past Sunday and Monday, you made me the happiest I have been in a long time. Clear skies, warm temperatures, the most calming breezes. You even got to almost 70 degrees. But now? Only three days later, you're angry. I can't go outside without my shoes filling with puddles or hearing thunder rumbling in the distance. Sure, you've been worse, but why would you just play with everyone and drop to such cold temperatures?

What makes all of this even more confusing is that you said you might even snow on Friday. I don't understand. Are you confused? Do you know what a season is? You know I don't like winter, so why would you mess with me like that? It's cruel is what it is. And I'm not the only one who has noticed. All of my friends are frustrated. You are toxic and I should have realized it sooner. Don't get me wrong, I'm not upset about the rain. I like rain. But even more than that, I love consistency. I want to be able to wear my comfy winter coat every day, not just for a few days in a row and then have to wear a T-shirt and shorts the next day. My wardrobe can't handle the constant switches anymore. It really is exhausting.

You're just so unpredictable. Don't you think it may be nice every once in a while to, I don't know, stay the same for a bit? I don't think it would kill you. I sometimes wonder if it's something I did. Maybe all of us. Is it our fault? I mean, you certainly are on fire. It's no wonder you're so out of wack. We have failed you and really messed up, without being totally aware. It may be too late now, but hopefully, there are enough people out there who love you enough to try and fix you. We aren't perfect. But effort counts somewhere. Regardless, it is no secret that people want some nice weather. We all do. All we're asking for is compliance.

Really, there don't need to be any hard feelings. Sometimes, when there are beautiful, warm days, I can't help but smile. Finally, you got it perfect. You can be a miracle worker, really. If it weren't for you, the flowers wouldn't grow, we wouldn't be able to tan, the grass gets the water it needs, and we can take naps in the perfect temperature. You sometimes suck, though. Plants die because of frigid temperatures, we slip and fall from the ice, we get sunburnt, we can't see the road because the rain falls too hard. And sometimes that's all within a couple of weeks. Why is it so hard to not change it up so often?

To be totally honest, it isn't me, it's you. That's why it can't work. I just want stability. I don't want chaos. I hate going day by day, not knowing if it will be a sunshiny day or a thunderstorm. Doesn't the chaos tire you? I know that we all agree that it is too much. To be frank, it's time to grow up. Learn to know what season it is and act like you're supposed to. It may be harsh, but it's for the better. For everyone. It will bring so much peace to people's lives. Everyone who lives here will thank you. Don't you want that? I'm sure you will feel better. Anyway, sorry to be a downer. But it's what everyone wants. You're just too hectic for anyone's good.

I hope you think this over and maybe change your actions. I'm begging you.

Sincerely,

Every Single Kentuckian
