Let it Snow
Yesterday morning it snowed in North Waltham for the third time since I moved in on October 1st. Whilst none have been blizzards, it is the first time I can remember three snowfalls before Christmas. Does that mean when I am seventy (if I get that far) I will be saying to my Grandchildren:"In my day it used to snow three or four times before Christmas".It appears that this will be the case, as statistics show that Winters of our parents and ...
