The woman who does my hair has not been happy about the harrowing forecasts for this coming winter -- that it's going to be just as cold and snowy as last year. She co-owns the salon, and last winter's bad weather translated into chaotic weeks of power outages, canceled appointments, staffing problems and decreased profits.
So after hearing one of these disturbing predictions the other day, she went home and told her partner she was getting worried.
He is a general contractor and hence both a practical man and very conscious of the weather. He pointed out that no-one had predicted last winter's heavy snowfall. Or this year's mild summer. Or the lighter stinkbug invasion this autumn.
She had to admit that this was true, and thanked him for giving her a different perspective.
