Weather It Is (Rain, and Then More Rain)

Good Evening:

The very pleasant weather (which is quite conducive to an air attack) is coming to an end. Does this mean that the ceasefire we read about is just around the corner (like next winter's snow) will happen simply by default?

I don't have an answer to this question, but I would like to mention that the weather will become rather wet starting Thursday night.  This storm is a bit strange, as it will first impact the area around Gaza southward, and then pivot (like a pirouetting missile) north (to Tel-Aviv) and eastward.  This is consistent with the growth of the Hamas missile menace, which was easier to predict (way back when) than next weeks weather.   I suppose so that just as we like to convince ourselves that indeed the next storm will bring a long awaited snow,  there were those who were convinced that the missile storm would never materialise.

The good news is that the rain should continue into next week and also spread into northern parts of the country as well.  This we can predict with greater certainty than when the war will end (but, hopefully, with the surrender of Hamas & Company before it does).  One last comment: it's always better to build homes than missile silos, and invest in businesses than missiles, and study to be doctors than ordinance engineers.  With the rain, perhaps we can drop some leaflets with these suggestions.
