#3 We basically have named raindrops and named puffs of wind now. And I guess it's all down to diversity that what used to be called a "strong line of thunderstorms" is now a "derecho."

I live for the annual report of the "official end of hurricane season" where they basically play state funeral dirge music in the background while the talking heads mumble about "maybe next season will begin early."

Ghouls...

#4 They were predicting 15" here in the Missenota backlands; looks like 5" at most. OTOH it IS colder than a tiche's wit.

#5 I'm surprised they named a storm Nancy. Kind of like the Xi variant.

#6 Her name was McGill, and she called herself Lil. But everyone knew her as Nancy.
