I suggest we summon the DDF arbiter of English grammar @Yehuda57 to chime in.

Is יעצט implied even though it isn't written? If it is so the last option you put is missing the "just", but in any event I would probably use "I just remembered" in this context (though I am more likely to say "that it's supposed to snow tomorrow").  I suggest we summon the DDF arbiter of English grammar @Yehuda57 to chime in.

I'll accept the mantel of good writing, but not correct writing.

Besides, the question is a Yiddish one.

No. Which is why I pointed out that it has a spiritual meaning.

Jews are in exile at this time regardless of where they physically live. Or more accurately, the world is in a status of Exile.
