Do you know that the weather affects our mood and temperament? In fact different weather conditions represent different moods and we observe this phenomenon in everyday life. Imagine that one early morning you wake up from a quiet slumber and look out of your window. What you see outside makes you think, ‘wish it were a day off.’ It’s raining heavily and the sky is over cast with dark clouds. You don’t feel like going to college or work. Rain, dark clouds, thunder and lightning, or foggy days are the symbol of sadness and melancholy. It can depress your mood and make you want to stay at home. Well, personaly I love rain and I always like to go out for a long walk with an umbrella held above my head. Think of a sunny morning in winter now. It does elevate our mood and we feel more energetic and enthusiastic. Another important factor is the weather inside you. I mean your overall mood in general. If the weather inside is pleasant, the former doesn’t really matter. What do you think?

English language offers a lot of idioms related to weather to describe certain situations. I’ve created a short story this time to explain how and where to use such idioms correctly. I hope you’ll enjoy reading it.

As I stepped into my apartment after unlocking the door quietly, the light turned on. It was 2 in the morning. “Do you have any idea what time it is! You said you’d be back before 12 midnight!” Michelle, my girlfriend yelled at me with a face like thunder(very angrily).

“ That’s the end of the year honey and we’re snowed under at work.(extremely busy at work). Further, one of my co-workers is a bit under the weather(not feeling well), so I had to cover for him as well.” I offered an explanation. She walked toward me and I thought she’s gonna surprize me with a kiss or a hug, as I’d worked for many hours ….but to my disappointment, she started sniffing the air around me for the ‘alcohol positive’ test. She found no traces of alcohol in the room environment. I took a sigh of relief because I wanted to down a shot of whisky on my way back at the local pub but I took a rain check on it(postponed it), fearing that Michelle would definitely raise a storm(get really angry) assuming I’d been drinking all night. Had I chugged a shot or two of booze as I was planning, it would’ve been very difficult for me to weather the storm(to survive a difficult situation). Lucky me that I hadn’t!

So, I sat down on my couch to see which way the wind blows(What happens next). She sat right beside me and apologized for her irrational behaviour, held my hand and said, ‘I love you. I always will-come rain or shine.’(whatever happens) I smiled because I’d known that she could blow hot and cold(keep changing her attitude) at times, but she would love me in all weathers, no matter high tide or low tide(whatever happens).

We’ve been married for many years now and she still can create a storm in a tea cup(a lot of fuss over something small) at any time. Our love and companionship has always managed to ride out the storm.( to continue to exist and not be harmed during a very difficult period).

Peace!

Riz.
