I owe those of you living in the Northeast an apology. I know you’ve probably been rationalizing all this recent winter weather by assuming we, as humans, have destroyed the environment thereby creating ecological and meteorological chaos.
Or maybe you blame it on Punxsutawney Phil, cursing that poor groundhog for seeing his shadow and condemning us to eternal damnation, er, I mean more winter.
Well, either way you’re wrong. Dead wrong.
The snow in April is my fault.
See, this weekend, you know how we were supposed to set our clocks ahead one hour to get that extra light at the end of the day? Well, I got a little carried away.
It seems I set my clock to next January. Hence all the snow and cold weather normally associated with the winter months.
My bad.
