=Ventura and Its Bipolar Weather= by Deanna O.  Thursday March 25, 2010

As many students arrived at Foothill Technology High School this morning, they were accustomed to the wonderful warm weather that Ventura had been having the past few days. Unfortunately for those who did not check the weather or as one source says, “The weather man on TV lied to me this morning!” found themselves freezing waiting for classes to start. Up until about 12 o'clock p.m. today, we did not even feel the slight two degree increase in temperature. At about 4 o'clock this afternoon it was like our previous days, sunny and warm. It is quite pleasant to be able to have sunshine in January, however when it is spring and we have freezing cold mornings and really warm afternoons it become a pain. Can’t Mother Nature make up her mind whether she wants to be gloomy or sunny?

How about days that completely change from hot one day to cold the next? Why can’t Mother Nature make a choice between rain and sunshine? All throughout the year we have this problem where it can be sunny and the idealistic “perfect day” then within twenty four hours we can receive 5 inches of rain. Mother Nature works in mysterious ways, but many people would just rather be happier with a good week with sunshine and a slower transition between weather conditions. Not many people enjoy Ventura’s complete bipolar indecisiveness on whether to be Sunny or Gloomy.
