"Oh, Pokémon Go, you insufferable tease."

#PokemonGO: So for reasons known only to Satan, Niantic, and all their cohorts, Pokémon Go is showing the weather as snowing right now. It isn’t snowing. It isn’t even raining. It’s a surprisingly mild 4º Celsius on my phone app.But it’s snowing in Pokémon Go for the first time since last year and I have never, ever, in my life seen a snowy Castform, so I have been watching my phone like a hawk.Then I saw it. A black silhouette. The shape looks like a snowflake. Oh god, I think, this is it.I throw on my clothes and bolt out the door. Note that I never, ever do this. They’ll come again later, I always think. No, not today. Today, I am willing myself to teleport the seven blocks away to that gorgeous black silhouette that I just know is going to disappear without me.On the way there, the silhouette disappears. I swear aloud but persevere.Finally, at last, I’m there. I am radiant with excitement and possibility. At long last, after years of nothing and with no snow at all this winter a snowy Castform is within my grasp.Sigh.Yes, I caught my new Bronzor. Yes, it’s very nice. My “nearby Pokémon” window is back to a sea of familiar faces and Pokémon Go’s drunken glitchy snow keeps falling with not a care in the world. One day, Castform. One day.Edit: It occurs to me that when I said "last year" people probably thought I meant December 2018. It hasn't snowed in my city since maybe last spring, so that's not what I meant at all. Whoops. via /r/pokemongo http://bit.ly/2FfxfLZ
