Weather It Is (Is it Peach?)

Good Evening:

The wife simply states that it's not Peach without a Sharav or a good bit of dust, let alone a patch of green grass or flowers.  True, the valleys below are green, but up here in the mountains the ground is still brown and the temperatures are quite chilly.  It's an embarrassment she says!  Could one really imagine our ancestors leaving Egypt under these weather conditions?

I just returned from a trip from NY and we even had a bit of snow (twice) so I really don't mind the rain.   I thought the air smelled fresh and clean.

Still, I appreciate those who want spring to come.  Yet, they may have to wait.

After today's rain another storm will be on the way.  True, it won't be particularly rainy, but it will turn chilly again on Pesach.  Chol Hamoed will see a slow warming as the air masses warms a bit and winds turn a bit more to the south.

Yet, there is a 40% chance that Pesach will end on a chilly note and even a 30% chance that the middle of the month will turn even colder still.

Of course, I could be an optimist and say that there is a 60% chance that the end of the holiday will be beautiful.  Maybe I'll tell my wife that.

Hag Samaech,
