Breaking News: It Snows During the Winter
On CNN this afternoon, a reporter was live in Cincinnati, Ohio covering the snowstorm there. She shared this stunning anecdote:
Reporter: I was speaking to a woman at a hotel who was getting married today, and she said she never would have believed that on this day, her wedding day, March 8, 2008, it would snow in Cincinnati.
Really? She never would have believed that it would snow on her wedding day, which just happens to be DURING THE WINTER?
The anchor went on to chat with the reporter, and made this observation, which completely blew my mind:
Anchor: Who knew that it would snow this close to Easter?
Yes, who knew that when Easter falls on its earliest date since 1916, it would snow TWO WEEKS BEFORE EASTER… DURING THE WINTER.
Meanwhile, the forecast in the great state of Wyoming calls for clear, sunny skies and highs in the 40s. It’s a great day to get outdoors. But after basking in the sunshine, you should go back inside and read my blog.
