Rare extreme weather

December 14, the second day of the lunar winter month, Thursday.
It was 7 o'clock in the morning when I woke up, because there was a heavy snowfall forecast yesterday, so as soon as I woke up in my pajamas, I hurriedly got up and opened the curtains to see if there was the first snow of this winter, and it was a blizzard. Last night, when I slept in bed, I imagined over and over again that goose feathers and snow were flying all over the sky, covered in silver outdoors, and the world was filled with holiness, romance, and free and easy, for fear that I would wake up and miss the best time to watch.
When I happily opened the curtains, I was disappointed to see only a light drizzle outside, not even snow, let alone a blizzard. In addition to being disappointed, he was also disgusted that the forecast was inaccurate, so he simply retracted into the quilt and would rise again. Unexpectedly, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, only to hear a thunder in the sky, the sound was like a blast, after the lightning was followed by a torrential rain, mixed with large snow seeds rolling in, hitting the ground, the roof and the window lattice, the thunder rumbled, sometimes low, sometimes exploded, sometimes like pulling a table and moving a stool, coughing and coughing, sometimes like a plane taking off deafening. In the middle of winter, it's shocking to see thunder, rain and snow like today.
Heavy rain and snow drops are still falling, thunder is still ringing, after a while, on the mountain, on the ground, on the branches, everywhere is covered with a thin layer of white veil, hazy, thick fog covers the South Mountain, the extreme white is boundless, it seems that the next is still holding back the big move, full of mystery.
The heavy rain quickly accumulated a layer of ice water on the ground, and the large snow particles and Xiaoice hail were scattered in the water like pearls, and suddenly a white mist appeared, and the whole earth was like a huge cauldron, boiling a pot of exquisite small rice balls, spectacular and magical. The thunder, the heavy rain, and the heavy snow continued for about forty minutes before it slowly subsided and turned into light snow.
I was curious to witness this wonderful performance of extreme weather in a short period of time. In addition to being surprised and delighted, I also realized some simple truths. The weather will also be the same as people's mood, occasionally make a mood, play a little temper, the eternal law of nature is that everything is changing. What we need to do is to maintain a calm state of mind and respond to all changes without change. Just like this morning, you don't have to worry about the expected heavy snow not coming as scheduled, and you don't need to panic about the thunderstorms and snowstorms that follow. After the rain and snow, the sky is still clear and the wind is clear. Calmly face all sudden changes in the wind and clouds, in order to live a long life!
