Double Fail!

Confession is good for the soul…but sometimes it backfires.

In my Friday post (read here), I confessed to the world that it was my fault that the East Coast got no snow this winter. It was all the fault of my prophetic sweater that I didn’t finish. I considered finishing it, but as I said on Friday, who wants snow in spring? For me, the only thing worse than no snow is snow out of season.

Well, guess what?  The thing I dreaded is upon me: a spring snowstorm. Yes, the Snowquester is coming. By the way, I think the lack of snow has given the weather forecasters too much free time if they’re naming snowstorms. Named or not, the Snowquester is coming. I am so upset. I suspected this would happen. I knew it would snow as soon as I got my mind set on spring.

But I love snow. I should be happy, right? 

No. Nobody, not even the most ardent snow lovers want snow in March (except for teachers and their students. But I think they would love most reasons for school closure). Oh, why didn’t I keep my mouth shut about the sweater?

Spring snowstorms are horrible. First, they never stick around long, which appears to be our case. Hard to enjoy a snowy landscape when it’s going to be in the low fifties two days after. Second, it messes with the flowers already blooming in my yard. Third, the forecasters are predicting heavy wet snow and high winds which equal power outages. And fourth, it’s just wrong. Snow is for winter.

I don’t know how I’ll bear the shame of a double fail. Sorry again.
