Batten down the hatches; we're in for a blow.

The weather forecasters have been promising a return to rain all week. More specifically, Cliff Mass is predicting the start of spring, duly noting that our spring tends to be cool, wet, and last until July. (http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2011/03/weak-convergence-zone-and-sun.html)

I hadn't heard much in the way of predictions for thunder, but we've gotten that as well. There was a peal yesterday afternoon (and also quite a downpour; glad I didn't have to be outside in that!) and another this morning which quite upset the Black Cat.

Today the forecast is for winds. Sounds like another good day to stay inside.

Of course, what I'm really watching is Friday's forecast. The Boy returns home over the mountain pass with a schoolmate driving. Fortunately, all current signs point to that being the best day of the bunch, with actual sunshine as part (although not all) of the forecast. I'm reasonably sure that given the mid-day start that they plan to have, they will be fine. I'm also working very hard on learning to let go and not to worry...
