lagilmanMy sister, being a mostly lifelong New Englander except for a period of exile in New Jersey she refuses to talk about, has this Thing.
She schedules all of her family's Life Events in March and/or April.
Okay, so the kids being born in those months was bad planning but not really scheduled. She and her husband got married in early April (meaning the bridal shower was in March). Nephew birthdays, ditto. Bar mitzvahs, ditto-ditto.
And almost every single one, guess what happens?
Yep. Snow. In some cases, blizzard-like snow.
Guess what's this weekend? Bar mitzvah.
Guess what's on the agenda to start coming down just in time? Snow.
Sis? I love you dearly, but what the HELL was wrong with June? July? Even September?
(because, really. All winter I waited for a good snowstorm to hit, where I didn't have to go anywhere... and it finally hits the weekend I have to go somewhere. And not only somewhere, but deeper into the storm...)
