Apr 24
Was it Newton or Einstein who stated:
Cats: Canada, blogs|That if you get your snow tires taken off on April 23rd, there will be snow in the forecast on April 24th.
Sorry I forget the physics genius who worked out the Law of Springtime Road Rubber Change and Frozen Precipitation.
But I do know that it is a cause-and-effect action.
Change tires = snow.
I awoke this morning to the words “wet snow” on the radio.
Why don’t I ever learn?

I also find the same works when you officially decide to put away the winter jacket, go out in a spring coat only to have it hail on you.
Hope the snow lets up!

Perhaps it was this guy (gal?)

Around here you need good all seasons in the summer and studded snow tires in the winter.

I’m am spam again!?

Guess I shouldn’t tell you it’s sunny with a high of 80 down here, huh?

Allison thank you. No snow yet but they tonight could be different
Dick, it must have been the link in your comment. I retrieved it
Dick 2, spam spam spam spam
Beth, ahhhh. Can you send some my way. It’s dark, low pressure, rainy and cold here.

And then there’s the just-washed-car-brings-about-rain-and/or-other-precipitation phenomenon.

Pretty sure it was Heisenberg. The uncertainty principle states that you can not know the location of your snow tires and the weather at the same time.

I guess you are the person in your town walking around with the big target on your back today, aren’t you?
Last summer we left our snow shovel beside the back door the whole time. Honest and for true.

I just got in from Bathurst…and canceled my appointment to switch the tires tomorrow morning.

Well, at least you didn’t have to drive the kids to school.

‘Twas Murphy. Not sure of his first name. But it was probably something like Seamus.

That is why the snow shovel is still in the trunk of the car. The weather has been beautiful here for a week but e don’t dare take the shovel out until the end of May lest we tempt the snow gods.

How about: if you pay a little more for a flight that gets you home sooner, one of the engines will break down, and you will sit on the plane for 2 hours waiting for a mechanic who can’t repair it and then you have to be deplaned and take a flight four hours later and be offered a $6 food voucher as compensation and then wait for a taxi to take you home at 3 am.

So I guess you didn’t get our weather. Sorry about that, all the warm weather and sunshine must have taken a wrong turn somewhere.

Moxie “just-washed-car-brings-about-rain-and/or-other-precipitation phenomenon.” Yes, I get that too when I virtuously hang clothes out on the line.
Chance, funny I was trying to remember the uncertainty principle but felt uncertain and so didn’t mention it. But I really did try!
Barbara, I know I know, we shouldn’t complain after what happened in Calgary this week. Talk about a target on the back!
Nanc, we are such losers, aren’t we

hunt n Peck, yes, just removing the snow gear is enough to rile them up.
Deepti, really? Ugh. Welcome to the world of glamorous travelling.
Chelene, I figure you’re hogging all the good weather in NYC and not allowing it to progress my way. Swine! Death to your flip flops!
