I began the day with a meeting and shopping errand. As the day moved on, I couldn't help but worry about the weather -- again <sigh> The forecast has been changing with a rainfall warning now sitting at 40-55 mm (1.5 -2 in) over a short warmer period. Major melting is expected so flooding is likely in some areas. Other parts of province may get prolonged periods of freezing rain instead of basic wet rain. A mess all around. <sigh> I tried to move some snow on the patio for a path to the edge. The drainage grate in the ditch between this building and the one on the next street is buried under snow like everything else in the region. The meteorologists and emergency measures groups have suggested these grates be cleared to maximize removal of run off. Not sure when that might happen here. <sigh> The kicker is that after all this rain and melting there will be a rapid freeze. The whole thing will last about 24 hours.
Worrying about the future seems to be exacerbated by broadcast and social media messaging -- today around the potential for some weather disaster. This made me think of a song about finding a way to move forward with all the unknowns in life. Keep safe. Enjoy!
