Unless you’re living on the space station or in a Chilean mine, the weather affects everyone. It affects how you dress for the day, the route you take on road trips, and if it’s a walk in the park or a movie night. For many people the weather can directly affect their personality. Due to the cloudy and cold weather in Central New York this time of the year, seasonal affective disorder can become a serious problem. Conversely, what you think about the weather, can say something about what personality is like. At least that’s what writers at the Farmers’ Almanac have found.
Staff of the Farmers’ Almanac has come up with a quiz about the weather and what parts we either like or dislike. Rain, snow, heat or cold are all prioritized and given a numerical value. After answering a few simple questions and adding up the score, they offer a forecast into your personality.
Seen as I am a meteorologist I thought what better way is there to let you know about this quiz than taking it myself. I came up with a final score of 17. Looking at the personality description for that point level, there are some hits and misses. I do love the sun and heat, but I like the snow too; just not the cold really. Heck, I do the ski report each week here on CNYcentral.com.
Give the quiz a try for yourself and see what it says about you!

So what’s your weather personality?
Give yourself 5 points for each A, 4 for each B, 3 for each C, and 2 points for each D.
If your total score was between 24 and 30 points, you are the type of person who likes action. You don’t mind being in noisy areas, enjoy the outdoors and can be described as adventurous. You don’t mind rough conditions, and weather the storms in life with a good attitude. You enjoy changes and get bored if everything stays the same for too long.
If your total score was between 18 and 23, you are an all-around outdoor lover. Rain or shine, heat or snow, you are satisfied with whatever comes your way. You don’t go out of your way to seek adventure, but you don’t hide from it, either. No matter where you are, or what time of year, you’ll find a way to make the most of it and enjoy yourself.
If your total score was between 12 and 17, you are a sun worshiper. You love being outdoors, but only when the weather suits you. The very sight of snow or grey skies sends you running for cover. You would rather spend a quiet day in the garden or relaxing on the beach than roughing it in the wilderness.”
