Cold Winds On A Sunny Day

Last night, the polar winds came blowing due to a low pressure area that was formed. It had not stopped this morning. It was a miserable jog for me even though the winds had blown all the clouds away and was very sunny. Through the window, shielded, the outside was picture perfect - indeed beautiful looking scene. This reminded me of Hollywood scenes of a romantic beach dinner at sunset on a tropical island. Looks great but in actuality, sweat will be dripping from the face and seeping through the clothing from inside out. The last line was inspired by the weather forecast.

北極風冷吹人喪 Dispirited are people blown upon by cold polar winds,
南嘉晴天仍莫爽 Even for those on a sunny day in Southern California.
枝折落花葉成堆 Broken boughs, fallen flowers and leaves had become heaps.
傷感更辱雨來降 Adding insult to injury will be the impending rains.

Update

The weather forecast was accurate but something unexpected happened.  Instead of water, it was hail that fell from the sky the next morning.  However, they melted after an hour and the rest of the day was being teased by glorious sunshine and warmth!  Unfortunately, the very next day, more rain came falling to make people miserable but damn great for my backyard plants :)
