We got snow in October. Ask me how I feel about it.
This is a year to feel cheated. COVID has cheated us of extended family and friends, our old routines, and recreation. And now, my outraged brain shouts, "Autumn has been canceled due to snow!"
But it's not as simple as that, for COVID or for Autumn.
The snow will melt soon and we'll have Autumn again -- maybe the dreary, rainy sort, but nonetheless Autumn. And we will have life with a more controlled COVID, although not for a while unless a proper vaccine is available.
In the meantime we will become resilient, adapt to the new situation, using the greatest strength we have as humans. We will joke about snownados in December and curse 2020 as the most calamitous year ever. But we will adapt as we have been adapting, for the first rule of the universe is "Adapt or die".
