A Power Cut

Yesterday evening we had a power cut. We had power cuts frequently where we used to live but this was our first here. Don't know what caused it but it certainly wasn't the non-existent-forecasted-major storm. Maybe some poor animal now has the punk look it was always wishing for.

I am hoping that someone will explain to me how weather forecasters can get it so wrong. Yesterday there were winter storm warnings. A minimum of 15cm snow with up to 30cm overnight. Newsreels of previous spring snows were shown as a dire warning of what we would wake up to today. Yesterday morning, I rescheduled the appointment I had for today as the weather forecasters were so certain.

What did we wake up to this morning? Not even 1cm. That's right no snow. You're warned not to make any unnecessary journeys, how about no unnecessary warnings.
