A Storm Is a Brewing

Dark grey clouds behind the barren trees Snow is on the ground, yet it is 50 degrees There is a storm a brewing that is easy to see Rain, ice and snow they say is going to be. The squirrels scurry about in hopes a nut will be found Before the snow arrives and they are tree bound People hustle and bustle to the store they go Stocking up on groceries and spending all their dough Old man winter must not done with us yet They are saying this one could be the worse one yet.

Thank you. When Spring finally arrives we won't trust that it is truly here. Ice and snow today and temps in the single digits. Tomorrow it is to be in the 30's whoo hoo:) Hugs Janet

I was in Tofino on Vancouver Island and we were in shorts and bathing suits. I live in the Okanagan Valley on Lake Okanagan in the heart of wine country. We live in a desert very warm and dry. Most people are unaware that this climate exists in Canada. Our winters tend to be very mild and the summers are dry and hot.

I did not know that Canada had areas with that climate. Just so you know I am jealous right now:) Hugs Janet

We have been having amazing weather for the last month. This is even more surprising because I live in Canada. I hope old man winter gives you some relief soon.

Hi Richard, I may have to move to Canada lol I don't think we are going to get as much as they thought we will see. So far have had a night of rain, morning of ice and now snowing. Accidents everywhere. Next week 60 degrees:) (they say)

G'day Janet... Nicely rhymed Janet, but I dare say the frustration of winter hanging on is getting beyond the joke. Regards - Lindsay
