A Real Blue Meanie

[poliphilo]

We watched the weather forecast. A great, amorphous, blue bulge of severe stuff- a real blue meanie-  was burgeoning up from the South West. It swelled as far as Brummagem- where it was met by winds from Scandanavia- a hail of chunky, little arrows- which bounced against it and started pushing it back . Phew!  We northerners will be spared the worst. Nevertheless it snowed again last night.

They say this is the harshest winter for 18 years. 

And the planet is warming up?

Well, we here had an awful drought so far - we are now at third of the usual amount of the rain that was supposed to happen until now, so it seems that this summer a full ban on irrigation is likely. (And that means no grass in gardens and parks at all, among other things.) So I believe in climate changes, they are just more complicated than warming - it's more extreme weather that previously.
And I will trade any amount of today's 24 degrees (the average for February is 12, btw) for snow or rain. Will give excellent exchange rate!

If only such an exchange were possible! I'm getting fed up with winter- with always being cold and/or damp. I want to see the sun.

I'm with you on that. Maybe we could all SING the sun back? The Amerinds used to sing and dance the rain down, so if it worked for that it should work in reverse, yes?
We are ALL trying to rush the spring...

You know what? I've done that.

We were at a Pagan camp about fifteen years back- and the rain was bucketing down- and Ailz started up a Native American sun chant- everyone joined in- and it worked. The rain cleared and the sun came out.
