Not So Snowy Day

Winter fooled weather channel
It didn't get so cold here, and not so much snow 
The school did close and that is the main thing
My son won't get to play in the snow
He was so ready to sled in the snow/ice
21 degrees is cold enough but the weather people
Predicted 17 with a wind chill of Brrrrrrrrrr

Does anyone really know what the weather is?

Hi Doris, It sounds like you all there are getting hit hard with the weather. It's going to get below zero here tonight. I swear I can predict the weather better than the forecasters can! Must be a tuff call. School here don't close down often for snow. Hope it warms up for you soon. Enjoyed. Love Light Patty Thanks for your comments hun. Love Light Patty

The Weather Channel cracks me up (especially storm tracker Jim Cantore who stands on beaches during hurricanes to demonstrate the force of the winds as his hairpiece flies off). They have a 50/50 chance of getting their forecast right most of the time, but still are more often wrong. We had snow in Ormond Beach, FL yesterday. Where are you that you are blessed with a balmy 21 degrees. It hit 17 degrees in Jacksonville, FL last night! Much love, Carolyn

Yes, winter has also its grip on my new place Zittau. Today it is snowing the whole time, but luckily no blizzard so far as weather forecasts predicted. There will be much more snow tomorrow. Less traffic on the roads so it seems that many people stay at home. It is not so cold, however. Thank you for your warm comments...Gert

You'll never get accurate weather on some weather channel TV show. Here's my method for dealing with the weather; I simply look out my window. Nice piece Doris. Sorry your boy couldn't play in the snow. Best Wishes Always, Bill

Well, I bet your son was very disappointed, but I would be in heaven becuase I feel very afraid when I have to drive in the snow, getting out of my side street and onto the main one! Where are you living, Doris? And no, I think nobody understand the weather but God! LUv, Andrea

Not anymore, Doris! Mother Nature is doing what she wants, when she wants. They can only "guess"! Peace, Audrey

I hear a cymbal sound flowing through the trees almost like the sighing of the pines in a breeze. God is the only one who knows and he is in control. God let satan take reign in the book of Job and what did satan send. Glad that Caleb is out of school. He doesn't need to be out there unless the sun comes out and the breeze dies down though. Nicely done write on the topic. Keep the creative pen flowing. Mom
