Clouds. Wind.

tinhuvielartanisIt's very cloudy and windy outside, weather that I'd give anything to be outside enjoying. It doesn't even look like it'd be hot, although I know it is.
Today reminds me of a day back in 1981. It was February and I was 13 and still living in Asheville. A winter storm was imminent, so school was called off early. Getting home around 1 PM, I went outside to watch the stormclouds coming over the mountains. The wind was up and it was very cold out. What was so incredible about this moment was that you could actually see the storm coming. There was a squall line and the dark ice clouds loomed in the distance, promising a most dramatic weather event. I remember raising my arms in salute to the coming storm, welcoming it, wishing for it.
When the sleet began, I cheered and danced about in the yard. Winter weather has always excited me, and it probably always will.
Sadly, the storm was a lot of threat and not much on actual weather. I had to go to school the next day. But the feeling I had at that time is something I will never forget and, on days like today, I like to relive those moments and find comfort in an innocence long lost.
