It’s called Sods Law. When you absolutely, positively don’t need it to snow it’ll dump stack loads on you and you’ll not be able to appreciate it as you’ll be stuck trying to get somewhere.
As least you’re well stocked up and prepared for when they tell you it’s going to be fine and dry, then you wake up the next morning to find you can’t see the sheep because of the snowdrifts.
I was kind of hoping sod’s law might guarantee a fine, warm sunny day, but I don’t think it works like that. I expect it means we’ll get visited by whatever weather-related disaster (heatwave? drought?) we haven’t prepared for…
