Ah, the first day of spring. When the western & central provinces are being throttled by snow storms, Australia is being buffetted by Cyclone Larry, and everyone in my family has been sick for weeks with the cold from hades.
Does anyone else get the feeling that Mother Nature is more than a little annoyed with all of us? Sure, March has always been a little unstable, weather-wise. The meteoroligical equivalent of Jeckyll & Hyde, if you will. But I don't recall ever having such extreme swings in temperatures as we've had lately. Just over a week ago, the neighbourhood kids were out riding their bicycles in t-shirts & running shoes, and today they're all bundled up in snow pants, hats & boots. The so-called common cold is lasting an uncommonly long time. The geese are flying around in circles because they don't know if they should be coming or going. And if that whole "in like a lamb" thing can be counted on, we're in for one heck of a month-end beating.
Kind of makes you wish it was good ol' predictable winter again, doesn't it?
