Here in the northeast it has been so cold. I mean bitter bone chilling cold. Today it didn't get above 50 degrees and it rained. Yesterday was windy and almost as cold. It's been this way all month. But, except that it's a little too cold I hope it stays like this for the rest of the summer.
I found some quotes about the weather from famous people. I've posted them below and put their names separately. I thought it might be fun to match them. I also pasted the link where I got the quotes. (I hope the formatting isn't too bad.)
