Damage limitation

The freezing rain forecast for yesterday never happened, and today we even had sunny intervals; it has only just begun to rain this evening ... and now there is a "Rainfall warning for the City of Ottawa" for tomorrow. Whether it will be disastrous enough to warrant the warning is another matter. This constant nervousness about tomorrow is all to do with our lack of control over the world and our too high expectations that are forever being dashed: the source of much unhappiness in our over-developed world.

You say "The freezing rain forecast for yesterday never happened,"

I saw the freezing rain warning myself and can assure you it did happen. As it happened, it was wrong and there was actually no freezing rain: on the radar the band of freezing rain could be seen to bifurcate with part going north and part south of Ottawa. But the forecast certainly did happen.

I for one am quite happy for the weather to do whatever it likes tomorrow.
Just for the record.
