Well, it’s October 1st. At least the nights are acting like it, sort of, getting into the lower 60’s here in the Southern more parts of the US. Days are still too warm, into the 80’s. That could change though, any time. Weather is fun, isn’t it? I think so.
My favorite weather is the cool, crisp windy-ness of Autumn and Winter. Also, I love the snow and ice storms. Yes, I like them. I grew up in PA, and liked it as a child. And yes, I moved out of that when I was 13, but now I’m back to where it does snow occasionally and we get ice storms in January usually. Snow in December and January if at all. We did have a few inches that lasted a whole week last Winter, really COOL! Well, anyway, I love the ice storms. Everything shuts down and is so pristine and crystally and just wondrous to look at. Sure, it’s not the best thing for commerce and people who have to go to work. But then again, commerce and work shut down for those days, so there. Everyone needs a few days off in January, extra days, that is.
My other favorite weather is the stormy Spring weather. Thunderstorms, yes, the ones that sometimes spawn those evil tornados. I’ve not run into one of those tornadoes, so I guess they are more romantic for me, in the movies, ya know, a la “Twister”. I’d have been a storm chaser if I was a man. Guaranteed nearly. I’ve loved weather since I was a child. It’s so mysterious and lovely to watch and to guess about, and to see what really happens, to journal what happens, to plot the years past events, to see the patterns emerge. Neat stuff. The Weather Channel is one of my favorite TV Channels. Hurricane coverage is cool too. I love hurricanes. People just should not live on the coast of any major body of water, like gulfs and oceans, it’s not normative for the US, or islands. Storms need to come through to replentish water supplies and renew the earth. People get in the way of that. And when I talk about it people think I’m so cold or calous to the damage a hurricane brings. Like I said, move inland. Let the storms come and do what God creates for them to do. Restore the environment.
Wild weather shows God’s awesome authority. He commands the winds, the waves, the clouds, the rain. The Thunder reminds me of how powerful God is. He is The Creator. It’s not that the weather is really wild, it just looks like that to us humans and animals. God is bigger than us all, earth included.
