How's The Weather?
Often times, just to break the silence, we'll ask someone their opinion of the weather. Do we really want to know their take, or are we trying to overcome an awkward silence? I would say 9 times out of 10, it's the latter. Some people are weather junkies (you know who you are), and love to talk about cold fronts, barometric pressure, hook echoes, etc. etc. You could probably make a drinking game by watching the weather channel. If the weather lady says, 'heat index', everybody drinks! Lately the weather has been rather sedentary. No heat waves, no tornados, no hail or thunderstorms, all in all, pretty darn nice. I would imagine nice weather like we're having is probably a downer for the weather man and those who like to chase storms. I personally would be perfectly content if the weather were this mild year around. I like excitement, just not in cloud formation. Sorry weather junkies, find another hobby. Fair weather fans enjoy!

silly...... we only swig when they say "bow echo"
ReplyDeleteA "bow echo" or "bowing line segment" is an arched/bowed out line of thunderstorms, sometimes embedded within a squall line. Bow echoes, most common in the spring and summer, usually are associated with an axis of enhanced winds that create straight-line wind damage at the surface
