The snow came - fifteen minutes too early

It is now January 11th and as you know, so far there has been no snow in Moss.

This morning, at work, it looked like this "green winter" would continue.
One of my young coworkers then told us she had heard that at one o'clock today it would start to snow.
It sounded like a joke - giving an exact hour when it would start to snow.

At a quarter to one, I looked out the window and saw - snow falling. Fifteen minutes too early!
First it was not that much, but then it was snowing more and more, and the wind started to whirl the snow - winter had at least come for a visit.

When I went home at four it was around ten centimetres of snow.

The same woman who gave the first piece of information had also heard that this evening it would start to rain....

Snow for a few hours this winter?

Exact meteorology?
