This evening, I am just kind of waiting. We’ve been expecting some kind of rain/snow/sleet/ice event since about last Monday, and it’s been cloudy since yesterday morning. But we have yet to see the rain/snow/sleet/ice, and it seems it gets sort of pushed back every 12 hours or so into the NEXT 12 hour period.
They say (who is “they”, anyway) that 30 or so miles to the north and west of us, the folks can expect a foot of snow by Tuesday morning. But they are rather ambivalent about us here in Topeka.
I do hope we get rain, but I am less enthused about snow/ice/sleet. However, if it is to be, then so be it. It will eventually do good for us, whether it comes as liquid, solid, or flakes.
Sometimes I think we’d be better off if we didn’t have weather forecasts, and just went with the flow. Of course, that would lead to hearing about a tornado when we actually heard one…a little late, don’t you think…and being in the way of hurricanes, etc. So that might not be so good after all.
On the other hand, I can handle TV weather people better if they don’t make every rain or snow event seem like it’s going to be the end of civilization as we know it. The human race has endured bad weather for eons, and can withstand it now without becoming extinct. Give us just a little break from the hype, huh guys? Thanks.
