Records
Our local meteorologist said, "If it rains, as expected this Thursday and Friday, our June rainfall total might catapult us from 13th place to top five. We''re expecting a Northeaster." Of course that depends upon everything staying the same.
What is it about records? Weather people, at least here, love to talk about how we can exceed or fall into the other category—lowest. In the winter they look at the coldest month, the snowiest, the total snow. Each season allows our local weather people to wax eloquently about possible and real records. When they release the records you almost feel as if the meteorologists take personal credit for records.
Here are some records that make one say—how can this be?
Some statisticians say that in the last 3400 years we've only enjoyed 246 years of peace.
There are other statisticians who think that if you count every skirmish forget counting years—think twenty-six peaceful days.
And it didn't matter if the day was cold, hot, wet, dry.

Weather is like war; always something going on and few care.
Still, we like convenience and being allowed to execute our plans. The weather is like an uninvited guest to a party; sometimes fitting in and sometimes changing the whole atmosfere.
We don't have many severe winters due to the gulfstream and that suits me fine. Love spring especially.
