The Weather is a Fickle Mistress

The groundhog lied. No spring for you...come back, 1 month.  Those are a couple of the memes making their way around Facebook today regarding the weather in Northern Virginia, Maryland, and the greater DC area.

I like to think of it as the weather being a fickle mistress.  In the space of one four mile walk, the weather went from partly sunny and a breezy but tolerable cool that looked like this:

Less than one hour later the storm clouds were rolling in giving a sky that looked like the view above to the south and an ominous front to the north.  This is a pretty good view of both extremes. Look at the mirror and then the sky behind it.

I got rid of my quota of stuff today. I got in the required walking. I mostly avoided the slushy snow. I'm a little bit grouchy, and it's because I'm not getting the backing from folks that I think should offer more support than they seem to be willing to give. Fundamentally, the problem is with my unrealistic expectations. I really should put those to bed.

As always, I'm both curious and eager to see what lessons tomorrow will bring.
