45ºF this morning! Loving the cooler mornings the past 2 days. Temps are suppose to climb into the 80's today.
 
We have storm Ellen... Blowing a gale everywhere today... ! We're fortunate that we have planted trees on all sides of the garden as well as having the fences, so we're protected from the worst..but the coastal areas and my neighbours open farmland are being battered as are the trees lining the roads... ..
 
Lots of nice, calming rain and thunderstorms lately, just for a welcome change.
Fingers crossed for the tropical storm/hurricane heading my way around Monday next week. 🌩️🌧️🙏

TV Weather Reporters

By: RB-TX

I have the feeling that TV weathermen, and I guess to be politically correct, I need to say weather-broads as well, really enjoy making people feel as uncomfortable as they possibly can. It is more than just a hunch; I know it from observation.

There is no doubt in my mind that they all delight in reporting bad weather news. When we are already flooded, it makes them excited to report on how much more rain we will receive; excuse me, that should be precipitation – I have got to keep my terms correct. It makes them equally as happy to report no rain when we are in a drought, bitter cold after three weeks of below zero temperatures, and more searing heat when it has been 100 degrees plus four months.

I can see those nasty, smerky, sly smiles they try to hide and I know in my heart they love every minute of reporting terrible weather. Some actually seem to have mini orgasms if a hurricane is about to wipe out our city or after a tornado has destroyed 143 mobile homes. That really makes their day an outstanding experience.

A few years ago some weather genius invented ways to make us feel even worse about the weather than it really is. They came up the ingenious idea that could modify temperatures to make us feel much hotter or much colder than it actually is. This great idea must have thrilled weathermen and weather-broads around the world. The person who invented this is no doubt in a secret weather reporter hall of fame someplace.

How do they modify the actual temperature? Did you ever hear of the wind chill factor? This is a method used to instill in our minds that the current 30 degree temperature actually feels to us other humans like 22 degrees. They sadly announce the current temperature is 39 degrees but happily, the wind chill factor makes us all feel like it is 30. I’ll bet they can actually look through the TV camera into our homes see all the people flinch and frown. After the show is over, they congratulate each other on how bad they made people feel. “Did you see that little old lady without a coat? She almost fainted”. No, probably they really can’t see into our homes because that would be a heart stopper for some of them.

Did you ever hear of the heat index? Well, this is what the weather-goons use when it is hot; sweltering hot, and of course they want us to feel even hotter. They can make us think and feel as if temperature is 101 degrees when it is actually only 89. What they say is that because of the humidity, or whatever, we feel hotter than it really is. If the heat index was not invented by the same person who thought up the wind chill factor, then I’ll bet they were closely related.

Well, I have a question for the weather-goons. Why is the wind chill factor that makes us feel colder than it actually is, only effective in the winter months? Is there some scientific principle that only works only from November to March? If the wind makes us feel colder when it is cold, why doesn’t it also make us feel cooler when it is warm? Those of us who observe how we actually feel rather than find out from the weather-slobs, know that wind does cool us when it is hot. But, do they ever say that it is 90 degrees, but because of the gentle cooling breeze, it feels like a very comfortable 78? Of course not, they want to get their kicks and they want to keep their job.

Another question is; why is the heat index that makes us feel hotter than it is, only effective in the summer months? If the humidity makes us feel warmer when it is hot, why doesn’t it make us feel warmer when it is cold? This must be another scientific principle just the opposite of the wind chill factor in that it is only in effect from April to October.

It seems that weather-gurus feel that have some special calling to tell us how to live our lives. It is like they have been given the authority to be our mothers so the can tell us what to do. They tell us, “It is going to be cold today so wear your heavy coat”, or “We are going to get six inches of rain in the next hour (snicker – snicker) so be sure to take your umbrella with you.” Have you heard them say, “There are two inches of solid ice on the roads so don’t drive unless it is absolutely necessary”? Who do the think we are; total dummies that we can’t decide if we need a coat, an umbrella, or need to drive? It appears that they have been anointed with this responsibility.

If you ask me, weather people just have a plain mean streak and get a thrill out of making us feel more uncomfortable than we really are and try to control our activities like we were six years old.

All this week,we've had temps in the mid 70's towards 80,with little rain on/off
I'm getting use to having a blanket on my bed each night.My bdrm windows have been opened with screens most of the summer,not having to use my fan every night been wonderful.I've noticed instead of getting up around 6, the past couple of mornings,I've woken up around 7,thinking my clocks were wrong LOL!
 
100 degrees and Smokey from the fires. When the west coast burns, we get the smoke. When Yellowstone burned we got smoke and lots of ash.

Well, those "mean weather people" are saying that history is about to be made, with the possibility of two hurricanes hitting the Gulf Coast within 24 hours.
