Changes in Weather

The weather here in Baltimore has been swinging more wildly than a moody teenager. Last week temperatures were balmy and spring-like; even some of the local forsythia bushes were tricked into budding.

But yesterday we had ear-biting cold, light drifting snow, and icy stoops. “Winter storm warning,” said the radio.

Today the snow is melting. The sky is cloudy but the temperature is warm. Everything is early-morning damp. It will be spring soon.
