Today it snowed (heavy sigh). I was not happy to see the snow. But then I think, things could be worse than snow. While we endure a few white flakes drifting down from the sky and melting on the grass or ground or head, other people are enduring much worse. The word Hagibis means speed in the Tagalog language of the Philippines. Super typhoon Hagibis is headed for Japan. Two feet of rain might fall. Winds might get up to 140 miles per hour. Flights have been cancelled. Bullet trains are stopped. Grocery store shelves are empty. On the scale of inclement weather, what I saw today is nothing.
