For the past few weeks, we have been blessed with the absense of snow. In the vast majority of years, snow has atleast been on the ground since October and follows through until April, like Calgary's the cake that's been iced, and throughout the seasons, we just keep adding more chilly white decorations.
It's Murphy's Law that when you say something, the exact opposite will happen. So I blame the snow on me.
The other night, I went over to my aunt's house to collect cans for my fundraiser when she asked me if I could take care of her house while they're gone. As I was bidding good night, my aunt says to me, "Well, I hope it doesn't snow", "But your going to Dominican, what does it matter?". She follows with "I know, but if it snow's, you have to shovel the walks". Cleverly, I replied "Hhaha, watch it snow tomorrow!". Ofcourse, they will go to the Dominican, get great tans and I'll be the frozen pasty kid shoveling walks.
Who'd of thunk that it would have snowed? Cause, honestly I didn't think it would. I mean, I know that Calgary's weather is always unpreditable, but I figured we had been going on a lucky stream.
So, to my fellow Calgarians whom might have forgotten their mitts today whilst walking home, caught the wrong bus and had to take an extra half hour to walk home, cursed out loud when the snow caressed their cheeks but sighed with relief when they got home. And once again, I apologize for my lack of sincerity and joke making irony.
Hope everyone got home safe.
