It’s Winter by Stormy on February 02, 2021 Making a weather call on a beautiful winter day. Today is Imbolc, a cross-quarter day, the Celtic day for estimating how soon spring will come and when to plant the crops. It might be counterintuitive, but an overcast sky is a good omen, a sign of coming rain, when fields would thaw and become ready for planting. And a clear sky is a sign of more cold weather. Following age-old tradition, I ventured out at sunrise to see how the season was turning out. It’s seasonably cool, although not terribly cold, and the sun broke the horizon. There was little doubt that I could see my own shadow this morning. Today may not seem much like it, but I have this gut feeling that we haven’t seen the last of winter. Something tells me that a storm is coming. Much as I like to frolic in early spring grasses, I have to stay with tradition and make a call for six more weeks of winter. |
