It's All My Fault...
22 Mar 2013 06:12 pmI really shouldn't have posted that picture of daffodils yesterday, and I shouldn't have mentioned to someone that we seemed to have got through winter without snow...
Today we have snow. First there was sleet, driven in gale force winds; and then there were the small, sharp, flakes; and now we have a blizzard of soft thick flakes, drifting in 35 -45mph winds. There are no boats sailing, because of the high winds and stormy seas, and a lot of flights delayed and cancelled. It really feels like winter, for almost the first time since Christmas.
I have been at home this afternoon, and it is quite nice to sit in a warm house and watch the place get whiter and whiter through the window. Except that S2C is due to be at work tonight, our car is parked on a very steep slope closely between two others, and there is only a very limited bus service still running. I am really not sure how he is going to get there. And, as the forecast is for more snow and high winds all night, if he gets there I have no idea how he will get home in the morning.
Bother.
