Hump Day. That’s what they sometimes call this day. A cloudy day this morning, but a fresh layer of snow on everything yesterday, makes things look quite pretty.

The bus was running about 5 minutes late this morning. Got on the bus this morning, and it was fully of driver trainees. Kind of funny, but I guess it’s a good route to choose, because the traffic on this bus tends to be pretty light. The driver today is driving extra slow and careful, because he has a supervisor standing right next to him.

Down to 29 days until calender spring. I guess that’s a good thing, especially because it seems like spring is coming earlier nowadays. That said, at least one prediction suggests that winter will be long this year and summer colder, due to the great amounts of ice on the Great Lakes right now. The PNA being locked in a positive phase, certainly is not helping the cold on the east coast – it could only be worst if the NAO got locked in the negative and we had blocking of the snowstorms and constant blasts of cold air.

Spring will come. But I suspect it will be late this year. But balance is the norm in the system.

Farmers Market at the Empire Plaza today.
