Just two weeks late

Snow Day

Just another snowy day in Florida

Well go ahead and blame me if you must. But I’m happy with it, just two weeks late that’s all.

For those who read my editor’s column in the magazine, I asked for something from Mother Nature in the December issue. It just happened two weeks and a day past due.

I asked Mom for one day of snow. We got it Saturday. I wanted it for Christmas Day. THAT’s the day we should have had it. And now we’re left with the sunny and cold days.

Throw the snowballs or sleetballs at me. Bombard me. I’ll take the blame. I asked for it and I got it.

But tell me this, are you really upset about the cold? Really? You know we only have a few bad days of this. Remember these cold days, store it up as if it were solar power. You will need an “arctic blast” right about … how long can you take it?

 I’m not talking about the cold.

 I’m talking about the heat.

Somewhere when the temperature gauge hits … say 88, you’ll say “Ethel, remember two months ago when we were watching for snow?

Or how about a repeat of last June when there were heat advisories out because the heat index was hitting 104. Rarely does it get to be more than 100 in Florida, but when it does, you know and I know - you cook.

I’m sitting in the office at English Communications wearing a coat – and enjoying it. I can suffer a little at this end as oppossed to sweating to death.

Thanks Mother Nature, you were a little late, but we had some fun.
