Joe Joyce says the coming heat wave means business:
The western Atlantic Ridge, which brought us our last 5 day heat wave recently took a break. Well, it's BAAACK! It is flexing its muscle along the east coast once again and completely taking control of the weather across the United States! It is literally drop kicking an upper low currently in place over Kentucky back into Texas! This is something you just do not see in weather which usually travels west to east!

Old enough to remember...
...the saying "If you don't like the weather in New England, wait five minutes!"
This year it's been, "If you like the weather, enjoy it for the next five minutes, but if you don't like it, T.S., because it's going to be rainy and cold for a month and then hot and gross for a month and then it will be nice for four hours and it will snow again before you know it."
As always, I blame the eggheads at MIT and Harvard for focusing on things other than controlling the local weather.
Since the weathermen are
Since the weathermen are usually wrong it will somehow SNOW instead.
Are they, though? Are they
Are they, though? Are they REALLY usually wrong?
Just be glad they're not pilots
A friend of my is a meteorologist and his email .sig includes the following: "What other profession can you be wrong 50% of the time?"
Even they admit that there is some art to this science. :)
I can think of at least one other profession
Who wouldn't kill to have a .500 hitter in the Red Sox lineup?
What's the opposite of a French Toast Alert?
An Italian Ice Alert?
FT Alert Oppo: Volume on ice cream trucks
Loud = hot
Obnoxious = hot and humid
Ear splitting = hot, hazy, humid and windless
Earworm maddening = 95/95/95, redevelop gills
We have a winnah!
THIS! Yes - that's EXACTLY what it should be.
We can use the sizing system from the either Spadafora in Malden or Richie's in Everett.
Make it frozen slush
This is some kind of New England thing AFAIK, never saw it named this in the mid-Atlantic where I grew up.
Joe Joyce needs to learn
The definition of the word "literally."
