Inclement Weather

Many are so sure of tomorrow's blizzard.
The belief must be that we will not be spared this time -
It's payback.

So sure are they that:

-my dentist's office called me three times about my appointment: to confirm it, to say that they might not be open tomorrow, and to reschedule it later in the day.

-the school department canceled its welcome reception for new students tomorrow.

-"A View from the Bridge" tickets popped up on TDF with the disclaimer: "DUE TO the impending inclement weather, THESE SEATS ARE NOW AVAILABLE AT THE LAST MINUTE. As always, THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS or EXCHANGES. In addition, NO PAST-DATING REQUESTS will be considered by the theatre's management."

-the best selling item at the mom and pop stationary/toy store was a bright orange plastic snow sled. The owner had the hard job of disappointing little children and their parents, telling them to come back tomorrow at 9 a.m. when they will have the remaining items shipped from their warehouse. He stressed that they should come early because he is sure that he will run out of them by 11 a.m.
