Someone
once said that if it wasn’t for the weather, the English would have nothing to
talk about. Frank McKinney Hubbard said: “Don’t knock the weather. If it didn’t
change once a while, 9 out of 10 people couldn’t start a conversation”. This
supports Oscar Wilde’s statement that: “Conversation about the weather is the
last refuge of the unimaginative”. Yet many conversations begin with “What do
you think of the weather?” or “Nice weather we’re having, isn’t it?” It’s
hardly surprising in a country like the UK, where the weather is changeable, to
say the least. In the morning you might look out of the window to find the sun
shining. It’s fine weather. “Turned out nice again, hasn’t it?” you say, with
fingers crossed. Of course, crossing your fingers doesn’t usually have any
effect apart from making you feel better. So, by the afternoon, it’s raining
cats and dogs! “Lovely weather!” you’ll be saying. “Yes, lovely weather for
ducks!” And because the weather in Britain is so changeable, people often
promise to do things, “come rain or shine”.
Get
wet when it’s chilly, and you’ll catch cold. Then you’ll be feeling a bit under
the weather. You’ll need to spend a few days in bed. But after a hot toddy or
two, you’ll soon be feeling as right as rain again. So it’s best to stay out of
miserable weather. But just how do you know it’s going to rain? You could trust
in the old adage “Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight”. Or “Take a peek in the
morning”. Some people trust in such old sayings. You might just as well trust
in your barometer. As Ambrose Bierce pointed out in his “The Devil’s
Dictionary”: “A barometer is an ingenious instrument which indicates what kind
of weather we’re having”.
Other people trust in weather forecast. Unlike
barometers, meteorologists are supposed to tell us what the weather is going to
be like. They watch local climate patterns and try to predict how the weather
will change. They lie to us through their television weather forecasts. Here
they use symbols and maps to make the weather, which is very complicated,
easier to understand. Often, the color of the sky in the morning is a more
accurate indication of the coming weather. These days, there’s a lot of talk about
climate change. Some people say that climate change is a storm in a tea-cup.
But scientists predict that we’re going to experience more extreme weather
conditions. Let’s just hope that humanity can weather the storm.
Whether the weather be
fine,
Whether the weather
be cold,
Whether the weather
be hot,
We’ll weather the
weather,
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not.

The
majority of the region will be mild and dry today. A cold front pushes a band
of rain and showers into western portions of the region during the afternoon
and early evening. Tonight the band of rain marches eastward reaching New
England and the Mid-Atlantic coast during the overnight. The rain moves
offshore Tuesday afternoon. High temperature will be mostly in the 60s to lower
70s today. Some very light lake-effect snow possible in higher elevations east
of Lakes Erie and Ontario Tuesday.
A
band of rain, showers and thunderstorms marches eastward with a cold front
through the South and Southeast we’re going to have today and tonight. Isolated
thunderstorms are possible in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and
southeast Louisiana today. It turns blustery and much cooler behind the front.
The
strong cold front continues to push eastward through the Great Lakes and Ohio
Valley with rains and showers today. Some of the rain has changed to a very
brief period of snow before ending in Michigan, northern Indiana and northern
Ohio. No significant snow accumulation is expected in interior southern
Michigan, northern Indiana and Ohio.
Winds
should be out of the west causing the bands to set up over the Keeweenaw
Peninsula of northern Michigan and along the eastern shores of Lake Michigan.
It should be blustery and cool across the Plains.
