Weather wager
I am fully aware that a forecast is nothing more than a good guess. Last evening when we sat down for the supper time weather TV local forecast and things went off the rails. Our broadcast suddenly moved to Nova Scotia. Different announcers and different forecasts on. And then about the time I had settled into learning all about the latest building plans for the big city over there we were back at home. A slight apology for technical difficulties and life carried on. Fast forward to now. Late afternoon. And that steady rain we had been told about has suddenly changed to steady snow, enough that shovelling might be needed. Now I knew this kind of thing could happen all it takes is a couple of degrees change in temperature or a couple of degrees of change in the direction of the wind and all of a sudden you live in a different place in terms of weather. It will not affect us. We have no place to go and no need to do so right away. I did have a moment of fantasy where I thought that if we lived in a big city we could call out for pizza. Let the problem be the driver’s not ours. That will not happen and we will just return to regular meals and regular forecasts. Probably, yes, we will watch the weather forecast this evening just to give us something to talk about. In this part of the world we pay attention to the weather. If I was the person who likes to bet I could spend all my available money I’m guessing. Instead I keep an eye outside and I listen to the videos. A lot of comedy interspersed with good music. And by tomorrow we will be on to another weather system. At this rate March may come in like a lion. And yes, such weather expressions mean nothing. We could have a whole easy month ahead or a dreadful one but before we know it the tourists will return and the beaches will be busy. One note. Our local cardinal seem to find the perch to be slippery or icy or sticky or something we’re not sure. Just changed.
