Weather

On March 2 we woke up to blankets of icy snow. Today, three weeks later, temperatures sauntered up nearly to 70 degrees.















Because i'm a writer, I feel all this pressure to write something really witty or spiritual or wise about this jarring juxtaposition of temperatures. BUT, Sahara is pulling on my slipper and making squawky noises. It's so hard to concentrate. My inner muse has been entombed in dirty laundry for two days. I've also been dying for a shower for the past 6 hours, if you must know, and now might be my last chance to make a run for it (err, the shower). I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I SOUND LIKE THIS! Well, can't be helped. It is what it is. Therefore, in light of my muse-less state, I bring you the wit and wisdom of others:

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin

A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water. ~Carl Reiner

Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while. ~Kin Hubbard

The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found? ~J.B. Priestley

It is best to read the weather forecast before praying for rain. ~Mark Twain

There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. ~Garrison Keillor
