When I arrived in New Hampshire to ski last week, the car outdoor thermometer read 58 degrees. And, it was raining.
“Is this fair?” I kvetched to myself.
Out west,
Whistler had six feet of snow in a week
Tahoe just reported three feet of new
Training runs for the World Cup at Beaver Creek had to be postponed because of—you guessed it—too much snow.
And, here we were in the East ready to play golf.
Yes, things have changed radically in the last week. The cold weather came along, snow making began in earnest, and some New England ski resorts reaped more than a foot of snow.
But wait. I’m headed, with Phil and his wife Brigitte, to the Adirondacks’ Gore Mountain this weekend, where the forecast calls for low temperatures of 9, and highs of 20 or so.
Is this fair?
No.
But, then again, the weather gods have never been fair. Sometimes they’re kind. But never are they fair.
