The Sun Is (was) Out On The Outer Banks, NC

Like many people across the country, we have been experiencing cold, dreary weather this winter. For the Outer Banks, this is outside the usual and expected, causing all greetings to begin with "Can you believe how cold (or wet or windy) it is. When is it going to warm up". OK, we know we cannot control the weather. Heck, even the weather people on TV rarely get it right. But we persist trying to figure it out as if we had a vast bank of knowledge from which to withdraw solutions. Personally, I still haven't gotten clear on which clouds do what, even though my granddaughter seems to know this. Perhaps it is being taught in Kindergarten now?

No matter. Nothing helps. Not knowledge, wisdom, cleverness or genius. This is the best example of powerlessness I have experienced in a while. A good reason to accept it as it is, conjure up some patience and wear more layers. And then, a miracle, the sun comes out.

Do you think it will be out again tomorrow?
