Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
(Job 37:9, KJV)
For sure there is a whirlwind at the grocery, at the slightest mention of the white stuff. No whirlwind yesterday. No "white" in today's forecast that I heard.
Of course not. Our almanacs and other trusty weather sources, like wooly bear caterpillars knew that cold temps, were coming out of the north, think Arctic blast and Polar Vortex--but....no snow, this far south, was mentioned.
Today is November 13. There is SNOW in Memphis.** Okay, so it was only a slight dusting. Not exactly steeped in it. But....for us in the mid-south, snow is SNOW! The only folks, whom I actually know well, normally get snow this time of year, or sometimes earlier, are the Bradleys. They live in Massachusetts. It's clear today, in Ashburnham, with no precip and a sunny 47º.
So who's in charge here? I know. Do you?
My vote goes to the Lord, who is great in power and "hath His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds.."(Nahum 1:3) Even snowclouds!
Two morning cuppas filled with me-TEA-orology----one served by our resident meteorologist and one served by God. I chose God's----He knows.....the weatherman didn't. (except maybe in Alaska)
**Picture is for our "grands" from Texas to Brooklyn, NY--who have no snow---but cousin Owen does---at least a smidge!
