Wodan must be playing games with us

I move to the subtropical part of the United Kingdom, the only place where palmtrees grow, the where temperatures rarely drop beneath zero... and instantaneously the coldest winter of the decade is heralded, and we wake up in the middle of a land covered in white: the fields, the trees, the roofs...
And tomorrow I've signed up for a long ramble through Dartmoor!

...Half an hour later...

This is an excerpt from the message I just received from the 'wandelclub':

"Dear OODS members

Owing to bad weather (including heavy snow) having been forcast, we may be making some alterations to Saturday's walk. There is a possibility that blizzards will occur on Dartmoor this weekend"...
