The weather can be interesting, unless it’s the end of winter and someone is tired of the cold and snow. Then it’s hard to speak of! 😉
One of the (many) reasons I love the author Annie Dillard is her fondness for the weather. Always a good conversation startee, in my opinion.
The weather is a constant go-to for people around these parts. Thank heavens there’s at least one safe topic to make small talk about.
