Stop Saying That!


I was telling one of the twenty-somethings that he ought not to leave his car parked on the street for a week while he travels out-of-state because, if it snows, it's an automatic parking ban and they can tow your car.

"It's April," he laughed. "It's not going to snow anymore!"

"Never say that," I replied. "Nature can't resist a challenge."

This morning Facebook presented me with a memory post from 13 years ago about an April Fool's Day snowstorm. I remember it well.

Coincidence? Maybe, but a little further down the feed was this alert from a local news station:

NOR'EASTER...
Long duration nor'easter Wednesday-Thursday will bring significant snow...


I don't know how people can live here their whole lives and not know how this works. SMH
