TWO SEASONS IN TWO DAYS




We seem to have a mix of seasons at the moment here in Toronto. After months being snowbound and needing to dress in many layers to go out in sub-zero temperatures, yesterday was like a spring day. It was too warm to wear a coat and so I went out walking with just shorts and a tee-shirt. Nearly all of the snow on roads, roofs, footpaths and playing fields had melted away.

Today, snow is falling heavily, blocking roads again and the temperature has dropped. The forecast is for the snow to continue for the week and people are staying indoors again.

How weird is that?

Not as weird as those teal shorts.

They were teal underpants. OK?
They have been long gone in the rubbish bin.
Get over it.

The Old Girl worked from home today.I ventured out to the shops. The snow storm set up drifts almost knee high. The footpaths and roads almost impassable. Snow was blowing almost horizontally in parts.
All this and yesterday Spring had arrived, melted all the previous snow and people were kicking balls around on what was then green grass.
