SNOW, SNOW, GO AWAY…


Come back another day say in 2045.

Since the end of February, all I'm hearing is how sick everyone is of the snow. We are experiencing as I write this on Wednesday, March 21 the fourth storm. It is a deceptive storm in that it predicts much but so far there isn't much. That will change soon after the storm as we have at least 6 hours of heavy snowfall to come.

Six to twelve inches are the final numbers expected. High winds, deep cold, and deceptions are all predicted. Black top and black ice, hand in hand to ruin your sense of safety are included.

The hope is that it is the last storm of the season. This is tragic news if true since all the weathermen and women will cease to hyperventilate over all the excitement.

But let's not get too excited. Early spring is no walk in the park either. It is more like a wade in the puddles, cold biting winds and occasional cold days.
We have this kind of weather until June when suddenly it is so hot, you wish it would snow, the humidity so depressing you cease to want to live or even eat.

Nothing like getting up in the morning and being greeted by deep snow, your driveway plowed in and you need to get to work because your company made no announcements about closing. Meanwhile, everything around you is closed.

So, you clean off your car and then start shoveling. You go inside to have a cup of coffee and then go out, once again, to find that SOB plowed you in again! You go inside and sit a while then the news comes of a delayed opening.
