Weather It Is (A Little Training Helps)

Good Morning:


Good Morning;

"If you don't know how to use the rag [without cleaning it beforehand], use wipes"

"When I come up, don't be in my way -- be finished with whatever you have to do."

The other day I saw my wife replacing the windshield wiper of my car; I'd already tried.

When young women are dating, they ask whether the "Bochur" is a promising Rabbi, a doctor, lawyer, or maybe an aspiring artist.  They never imagine that the talents they think their future hubby to possess will never pass through the door of their home!  They don't imagine that their future husbands won't be able to change a light bulk (seen the  new LEDs?) or do simple time management out of the office.

And it is for this reason I write this blog.  It gives me a chance to explain to the women folk just the way things are -- so they can be a little more understanding.  After all, we never expect our dog to do much more than bark and wag his/her tail -- should there really be higher expectations for husbands? Not without training, of course!

(Of course, men might consider to be more appreciative of their wives, but this, perhaps, is the subject of a future blog.)

I also write this blog because I like to give its readers not only useful information, but some knowledge about the physical processes that come together to make our weather.

For instance, there will be scattered showers in our area during the next few days.

Looking ahead, we see a trough trying to build in eastern Europe, eventually extending down into the eastern Mediterranean.  It will do so as a ridge noses its way into central Europe.  The combination of the trough and ridge will enhance the southerly flow of air from the cold reaches of the north.  Hence, the two systems acting together could make for an unusually cold Purim as cold Siberian air heads southward.

At the moment, there is not anything we can definitely say other than with the exception of a day or two of more spring-like warmth, the temperatures will remain winter-cool/cold.  How cold, we'll let you know.
