Last Friday, when some co-workers and I were enjoying our lunch in the park and commenting on the beautiful weather, I joked that, with the way the weather had been going lately, it would probably be snowing less than a week later.
At least, I thought I was joking. Apparently not. It’s snowing right now.
I continue to tell the story of how, on my first visit to Austin, TX, my hosts kept apologizing for the weather.
“It’s usually not this cold this time of year,” they told me.
It was the very beginning of April. It was a little cloudy sometimes. It might even have rained just a little. And I wasn’t uncomfortable in a light jacket in the evenings.
When I got back to Pennsylvania, yes, you guessed it — it was snowing.
I think I’m going to have a cold walk to the train station this evening.
