Anything, after we returned from vacation, was a hot autumn day, taunting me with promises of February snow piles.
Meaning 🍂❄️: The sentence describes a time of transition: after the holidays, every day feels like an unusual, sultry autumn day that simultaneously points towards a harsh winter. Themes: Contrasts and expectation: late heat vs. promised snow. Time and mood after a moment of rupture (return from holiday). The playful / vicious character of the weather (“teiterde”) that evokes hope and unease at the same time. Origin and author 🔎: Attribution to Thomm Quackenbush: I cannot find a reliable, primary source (book passage, publisher’s page, searchable preview) that links this exact sentence to him. Without such a source, the attribution remains uncertain. Likely situation: Either a stray internet quote attributed to Quackenbush without a source. Or a free translation/paraphrase of an English sentence with a similar meaning. Conclusion: Author/unmistakable origin unverifiable based on reliable sources; the connection to Thomm Quackenbush is unconfirmed at best.
