I Think We May Just Get Our First Taste of Winter Tomorrow!!

For those of you who have indicated you are wondering why I tend to go on about the weather here, it is mostly for two friends of mine who are faithful readers: one in the deep south of the USA and one in the tropics who has never experienced a full four seasons in his life and is fascinated with the idea of snow and ice and blasting winds and meat locker temperature cold air!  I have fun trying to explain to them what goes on here as my tropical friend in particular simply cannot imagine it. hahaha

We are under a weather advisory for late tomorrow afternoon and on into the next morning.  We knew there was something up because it was so very warm and calm by late this afternoon. At this time of year that generally signals an upcoming change. Sure enough, a series of low pressure systems are on their way from the west and by tomorrow night we should have winds howling and blasting snow past us at high rates of speed.  While we likely will not get more than a few centimeters of snow compared to the parklands farther south and west of us, at least we are going to finally get some kind of winter storm to remind us of what is coming weatherwise for the next 5 months or so.  

Yippee...we have the winter tires on the car!  Yippee...we can finally experience the winter and stop feeling stress underneath the joys of good weather each day this autumn as we subconsciously know these days are not going to last much longer. Yippee....the change in the weather will be instrumental in possibly tempering our plans for next week when my husband has a couple of days off together once again.

Oky doky warm climate friends....I will let you know what happens about 24 hours from now.
