The Weather Outside is Frightful
Woman in the Middle | December 22, 2016As usual, the local newspaper had a weather prediction that was off by a long shot. They said yesterday there was a 20% chance of rain and we could expect some light winds. Instead it rained all day and all night, and in between the two there was a short pause when the wind kicked up to gale force. Oh boy!
So, as we count down to Christmas in my fair city, the line from the Christmas song “Let it Snow” keeps running through my head – “The weather outside is frightful…” Happily, we aren’t having snow. because that really would be frightful!
Of course, other than being caught off guard by the unexpected rain, everyone is happy water is falling from the sky, because we need the rain so much. When Christmas rolls around, the world will have had a nice bath and everything will look clean and beautiful.
Hopefully, we won’t get much more wind, because when the ground is soft from the rain, then the wind blows, trees have a tendency to topple over. Hubby and I won’t have to worry about that as the only real tree we have is the Navel orange tree. But there are plenty of other trees to heave ho out of the ground. And we haven’t even started our true rainy season yet.
Here is hoping the weather isn’t too frightful where ever you are!
May the sun shine next for a bright and merry Christmas!
Sometimes we wonder how they weather people get it wrong, with all the sophisticated equipment they have but they do at times the best way to find out what the weather is, is to walk outside and see
Hope your holiday is wonderful!
Wow, the weather man was so off he predicted the opposite of what really happened. Maybe he needs to go outside and check the weather from time to time.P
