Forecast

It's that time of the year again when speculation turns toward spring and warmer temperatures.  In our neck of the woods, we are expecting more snow and cold weather even though this week has teased us with a hint of spring.


It's always amazing to hear people talk about the weather. Some do not make any plans for the day until they have consulted the Weather Channel or the local morning report. They check in as if doing so will somehow alter the weather.

Kin Hubbard said it well, "Don't knock the weather. If it didn't change once in a while, nine out of ten people couldn't start a conversation."


Discussing the weather and the forecast is often relegated to old men sitting around coffee shops or barber shops. They discuss the depth of the snow, the depth of snow drifts and the fact that it all had to be shoveled.


Better get ready....the snow is coming and so are the senior snow plowers. Watch for them in a neighborhood near you.
