Day 7 - 67 -- Wind and Time

Overnight big winds arrived. As the day wore on they strengthened with very loud gusts that rattled windows and threw things against the side of the house (likely small branches that I will check on tomorrow). It was a good day to remain indoors. Laundry was partially done -- like maybe half of the job. Very little of note other than that was accomplished today. I did have a nap in the afternoon -- this after a bit of a lie in this morning. <shaking head> Just one of those days.

The storm blew by out in the Atlantic with just the edges of the nor'easter brushing the south and eastern shores of the province. Major winds covered most of the province with major winds -- Les Suetes -- warnings in western Cape Breton. Late in the evening some snow accompanied the wind, though just a skiff to cover the porch and sidewalk. It will disappear with the sun we expect tomorrow. Luckily, the increased solar loading of the sun is beginning to warm the ground. Spring is definitely in the air.  As I've said before, it brings hope.

Interestingly, tonight marks the new earlier date for time change -- spring ahead. Coming from a part of the country that does not change to Daylight Savings time, I still find this whole spring ahead and fall back stuff nonsensical. It creates such confusion and a lot of resetting clocks and watches and such. However, it is part of life for many people globally, with Australia and New Zealand Falling back this weekend due to the seasonal differences between hemispheres. I live with it but will likely continue to grouse about it for as long as it or I am around <grin>. 

The song is perfect for the major weekend event -- time change. Enjoy!
