No snow?

Cold wet days

The heavy rains forecast for this weekend, and the eventual snow, doesn't seem very promising. There was drizzle and the sky is dark ... but there's no rain that will lead to sleet and snow. And it's very cold. It's down to 4 degrees now and it'll drop further to 1 degree.  Everyone is wearing lots of clothes to keep warm. 

Then again things may change rapidly like 4 years ago. Back then there was only a few hours of hard rain and then suddenly hail, sleet and snow fell. So snow is still possible.

Cold and overcast sky

I'm just wondering what will happen to all the flowers that are blossoming. The cold and rain/snow will destroy them. That means fruit trees will lose their flowers and there will be no fruit in summer. Bad news. For vegetation that flower in summer, this rain is very beneficial. 

Let's hope this cold and rain will not affect too much the poor who have no roof over their heads, or without heating.
