I called my mom on Thursday for Thanksgiving. She wanted to know how much snow I had on the ground.
“None,” I said. It had been sixty degrees a day or two before. “But if I’m remembering correctly, it looks like there’s a chance of snow early next week. Monday or Tuesday.”
Today is Sunday. That counts as, from Thursday’s perspective, “early next week,” does it not? Because, when I crawled out of bed this morning, it was snowing.
I opened the door. The air felt raw. The snow was fine and hard to photograph as it fell, but there was enough accumulated on the ground to cover the dead grass.
My phone’s weather app then told me to go back to bed.
Good advice, What the Forecast. Good advice, indeed.
