The forecast is for a "snowicane" today. On rising, it was indeed lightly snowing, but nothing unmanageable. The worst part is supposed to hit this evening. I scan the reports for cancellations of evening meetings, but so far, nothing is reported. Do I cancel choir rehearsal? Or is this forecast going to result in nothing all that serious?
I decide early on to cancel. Even if it only continues to snow lightly, I do not want to ask my choir members to come out with the threat of bad weather hanging over our heads. What if the roads are fine at 6:30 when we come to rehearsal, but it begins to wallop us during rehearsal and then going home becomes challenging?
No, I cannot ask people to worry. And I know they are all watching the situation today, wondering the same things I am wondering. Life is too short to hang suspended for an entire day. Better to settle the issue now and let people breathe.
Besides, on last Sunday, we actually rehearsed this coming Sunday's piece, just in case, thanks to the suggestion of one of the ladies. I don't know if she had seen the forecast at that point, but it was well planned. This way, everyone is safe regardless of the weather, and the music will still be fine.
I know I will tuck myself safely in at home, snuggling up with a good book and resting. I hope they all do similar.
