I have mentioned quite a few times how my mood is, I'm convinced, inexplicably influential on the weather. Every time I have lost something - a loved one, a piece of myself, a phase in life - or left a place, it has rained. Sometimes the rain comes slightly before a major event and I spend a few days in trepidation, wondering what calamity will soon befall me.

Well, my friends, the day has come upon us. February 1st.

What's the forecast for today? Straight from Yahoo! Weather: 'Windy with periods of rain. Some sleet may mix in early. High 44F. Winds E at 20 to 30 mph. 1 to 2 inches of rain expected.'

Then immediately, the weekend is sunny and mild.

Eerie, I tell you. Eerie.
