Turn Turn Turn

I have always maintained that Richmond has two unique weather seasons. The first is Hurricane Season (Mid-September), and the One-Week-of-Winter (Late January).

As I write, The National Weather Service is warning of "MIXED SNOW... SLEET... AND FREEZING RAIN" Saturday night and Early Sunday. Last week most churches in Richmond were cancelled because of a monster ice storm that kept schools closed for days. This happens every year in a predictable fashion... predictable in that I anticipate it, but unpredictable in that the it comes as a surprise to everyone else.

Ok so here's my call for 2006: Two road-crippling storms in Richmond, less than a week apart, in late January. Don't say I didn't warn you.

(oh, and July and August will be unbearably hot and muggy)

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
1 There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens.
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build.
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
5 A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
6 A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away.
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak.
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
