We made it through the high school basketball tournament with nary a snowflake
The NCAA Basketball tournament got off to its start a week ago Thursday, and just like clockwork, snow was in the forecast with dire predictions of at least six inches of snow. We did get snow, about 3 inches (at least on my porch), but it mostly melted by day’s end. The publication date of this will be day two of the Sweet 16 playoffs. By Saturday we will be down to the Elite Eight and the forecast is for precipitation, but this time we’re talking about rain. I am not quite ready to take my winter coat and snow shovel out of the back seat of my car, but I starting to think really hard about doing it. What restrains me is my fear that I might be tempting fate. That I might in some way be encouraging a snowstorm to deliver one more storm. The tulips and daffodils continue their upward journey. They don’t seem to mind this late-season snow. Nor do I. I don’t mind it, but I am ready for it to be done. Anytime.

The article indirectly addresses Target 13.1 by mentioning the author’s desire for the snow to be done, indicating a need for resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards. Additionally, the mention of tulips and daffodils continuing their growth despite the snow highlights the need to protect and prevent the extinction of threatened plant species, aligning with Target 15.5.

The article does not explicitly mention any indicators, but it implies the need to measure the number of directly affected persons attributed to climate-related hazards (Target 13.1) and the extent of protected forest areas (Target 15.5) to track progress towards these targets.
