Long long winter

The calendar says it's Springtime, but the weather has its own ideas.

It's absolutely freezing here in Rennes. I always am incredulous when people here say, "oh mais c'est pas normale!" (this crappy weather is very unusual!) but this time I believe it - it's by far the worst month of May we've had in the three years that we've been here. Usually May is full of long weekends and people striking to take advantage of milder weather, but no such luck this year.

So imagine my surprise when I saw this pop up on my iPhone the other night - look at the "real feel" temperature - that is exactly how I really felt, and it was reflected on Accuweather of all places. All other cities on my list had normal "real feel" temperatures - Rennes was the only one that really felt like -200 F!



Technical glitch? Or is the Accuweather app now reading my mind/body temperature?
