Freezing rain

 It's snowing as I write this¹ and I'm not a fan of snow, as I've mentioned many times before. Increases the likelihood of me falling down and severely injuring myself. I'm an old man, you see. But tomorrow the weather forecast says it's going to get a lot warmer and just pour down with rain all day, and then be cold again the day after. "I wish it would make up its mind," as old people like to say. Personally, I just wish it'd be summer. But the BBC weather for today also says there's a chance of freezing rain, so I can't stay mad at the weather or the BBC for too long, since it reminds me of a truly wonderful comic...

If you haven't read Phoebe and her Unicorn - The Magic Storm, by Dana Simpson, then please go out and buy it now. It's really brilliant in so many ways, I can't recommend it highly enough! Or just borrow my copy. It's a definitive text for Phoebe's second-best friend Max, another cartoon hero of mine.

Now, will someone do something magical with the weather, and make it summer again?

¹ It's Saturday night as I write this. I'm trying to write a blog a day, in advance, and post them in the early morning. But the one I posted this morning seems to show as being posted the previous evening, so the whole system has already broken down. I think I'll just go back to posting things whenever I feel like writing something...
