Cold Front my @&$
July 21, 2006"A cold front is sweeping across Texoma" rants the local weatherman.
Another goofy weather term that doesn't fit somehow.
Temperatures don't "dip" into the mid-90s.
This is just one of those things that drives me crazy...along with the media having to remind people by talking about the heat.
You don't have "cold" fronts when it's 106...and it drops to the mid 90s. That's not cold. That's not cold air. That's just less hot air.
It's still hot. It's just not "easy-bake oven" hot. Dropping fifteen degrees isn't really much of anything until you go from 45 to 30. That's a cold front.
The weather guys should use better terminology like...."A less hot front"...or, "A front that won't burn the hair off your body"
Even just saying something general like "A front that will knock the temps below 100 for the first time in two weeks." But don't call it a "cold" front.
Something else this week made me mad every time I heard it. What the heck is an "excessive heat warning?" I know what it's supposed to mean, but has anybody ever heard of that before.
I don't recall any excessive heat warnings last year, or any year before honestly. I mean, when it's 110 outside, do we really need to be told that it is excessively hot.
Warning...in case you didn't notice all the glass melting at your house, it's ^@$*(^@% hot out there. Stay inside your deep freeze unit with your deer meat.
For the record...I didn't complain when it was freezing outside.
