Reflections From a Murky Pond

Winter solitude–
In a world of one color
The sound of wind.

— Matsuo Bashō, , “Winter solitude”

Don’t Get Ahead Of Things; It’s Still Winter

Please remember, it’s still Winter. Technically, by normative calendar dating, it’s going to be still Winter until Sunday, March 20. And, even Punxsutawney Phil ran back inside at the beginning of the month. The cold weather ain’t going away yet, so quit getting ahead of yourselves.

So Sweaters Are Still Delightfully In Order

So, I strongly suggest not packing those sweaters away quite yet. They’ll be of very pleasant use for some time yet and should definitely heat things up.

And, As An Alternative or Addition, Thigh-High Socks Are Still Apropos

Really! Nobody likes cold feet or legs. In fact, I have it on reasonably good authority that warm feet and legs keep the whole body warm enough in many cases. Hence, some thigh-high socks are a good fashion bet for the remains of this cold season.

It’s going to be cold for a few more weeks in a lot of places. Stay warm now.

With the weather being what it is right now, especially anywhere north of the Mason-Dixon line, here’s a simple Public Service Announcement (PSA) for all you folks who will be taking to the roadways:

Or, the same warning message as it would be given in a kinder, gentler, more perfect – or, at least, less fucked up – world:

Somewhat more seriously though, it’s just snowy conditions. Use your brains! It doesn’t take that much self-awareness and cognitive function to know whether you can drive in it or not.

That about sums it up when it comes to weather or climate predictions. There are just too many variables, too many of which are either unknown or misunderstood, to make anything resembling accurate predictions for any locality, much less globally.

But, here’s hoping…

Weekend Weather Alert – Hotness Predicted

While I’m not hopeful after looking at the skies, there’s still some small chance that snow will heat things up. 😛

“Snow Predicted”

Yeah, that’s about as iconic as one can get when it comes to how so many Americans react to any prediction of severe weather. 🙄
