The Skit Nails How Midwesterners Talk and Feel About the Weather

This skit nailed how Midwesterners talk and feel about the weather. Anyone who has lived in or visited the Midwest for an extended period will immediately notice and be amazed by the accuracy on display. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see and hear how people who live in the Midwest talk about every month of the year.

The weather is, and always will be, a popular topic of discussion. The weather is also helpful when struggling to find something to talk about. It can and does help with small talk. Also, the weather is so universal, something we all experience, that it translates well to anyone and everyone, who can easily talk about their experience with the present weather patterns, whatever they may be at that time.

Now, when talking about the weather, there are a handful of popular cliches, idioms, sayings and phrases that everyone uses at one time or another. We’re all guilty of using them, and there’s no use in denying it. But when it comes to the Midwest, people in that part of the country have a particular and recognizable way of talking about the weather.

A clip posted on YouTube captures how people in flyover country discuss the weather ideally. As someone who currently lives in the Midwest, I can say they were 100 percent accurate, and it wasn’t just for one or two months out of the year; they got all 12 of them right.

Since I despise winter and, in the Midwest, given how it seems to last forever, the ones that connect and resonate with me the most are those said in February and March.

“Forty degrees never felt so good,” the woman says as she wears a pair of shorts in February.

“This has to be the last snow, right?” she asks with a pained and worried expression.

While those are only two of 12, and again, I can assure you the others are correct as well.

Leviticus 26:4 “Then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.”
