"...Aviv higia, Pesach ba ?!?" - vent

do you feel like it's time for Pesach / spring cleaning when there's a snowstorm raging outside? Where, oh, where is the spring?

Dunno. It's boiling here and my allergies are starting up. Try Pesach cleaning when you are sneezing everywhere at the same time!

DS#1 is wandering around the house saying "kiddush echad, kiddush shtayim, kiddush arba, matzah, lo challah!" OK, he's getting it.

We always had snow the first day of YT in chu"l, it was a running joke. With the weather we've been having here though, I feel like I must have missed Pesach entirely...

I thought this was about how hard it is to stay indoors pesach cleaning when it is so nice outside.

It's funny, but the water is always freeeezing pesach time here. Erev Pesach is usually a cold day. We've had snow yud alef nissan, and snow flurries on Shabbos Erev pesach two years ago. Whenever I bought summery YomTov outfits for my kids, they barely got to use it. Now they get summery clothes for Shavuos.

Yesterday was actually so hot I had to wait until eight pm before it cooled down enough for me to get cleanin'
and now I have one room more or less clean for Pesach (albeit, my laundry room but whose counting?)

It's called chag ha'aviv, not chag hakayitz, isn't it?

well, I'm just taking a break after spending two hours wiping mildew off my boys' room ceiling. At least that room's not too hot. But there's something wrong with the light switch and I can't turn it off! So all the neighbours can see me wiping the ceiling with a sponja stick! I must look really weird - but then I guess they're used to that so we're ok!

OK, I take back my vent. I actually enjoyed today's walk in the sparkling, white, fluffy snow with the snowflakes falling gently around me. So I shouldn't have complained. It just doesn't feel Pesach-y, that's all.

hadasa, the warm weather is coming your way. We had a major snowstorm last week and today it's warm enough to be melting the last of the snowpiles.

Actually I love cleaning when a storm is raging outside...gives me an excuse to stay inside. What I hate is going to work or out shopping when a storm is raging ouitside. Oh, and washing windows...I never do that in a storm.

Now this year takes the (Pesachdike) cake! Woke up this morning to a world covered in white, slushy, wet snow. Looks like no outdoors Ch"m outings this year ... Sad

Amen! For all Klal Yisrael!
