A Cold Day in the Neighborhood

I was concerned this weekend that I had missed the opportunity to plant some more trees before the arrival of Spring. It has been so warm that the leaves have begun budding and bulbs are already growing and in flower. Tulips are beginning to be visible all over. And I thought, "damn, you missed it again."

Last night, a string of ferocious bands of thunderstorms began moving through, preludes to some truly rambunctious weather. It rained today as the temperatures continued on their nosedives. It was 77 degrees yesterday afternoon about this time, a scorcher. It's 37 degrees now. Let me tell you, 40 degrees makes a huge difference.

And the meteorologists are forecasting snow tonight, claiming there may be accumulations of 1-3 inches. I do not buy that; flurries, maybe, but not 1-3 inch accumulations

Tomorrow, my wife and I will get up early and go vote for Hillary Clinton...unless I change my mind between now and then. As I've said, I'm not thrilled with either of them, but I'll be deliriously happy if either of them take the White House this November.
