Fooled again, by the Weather

A bit over a week ago we were welcoming the spring time weather.  The sun was out, the temperatures barely required gloves, a hat, down vest, outer jacket, a scarf and boots.  In fact, Phil wore tennis shoes to work a couple of days.

This AM, 10 April, there is 2-3 cm of new snow.  Vinter is not yet gone, despite the arrival of spring on 21 March.

I mentioned to a Swede a few days back that Swedes don't seem to notice the weather.  They replied, "swedes talk about the weather constantly.  It's the most common topic."

Brenda was telling our pastor how much she enjoyed seeing the new clean snow falls.  He very dryly replied, "We have had snow a long time.  We aren't nearly so happy to see it as you are.  Your hope for more snow might not be a good thing to mention to local folks."

G^d give us everything in its season.

Job 38:22

Isa 1:18

Isa 55:10
