I love scanning Twitter on the go, but lately the iPhone icon I click on more than any other is Accuweather. Who writes for them? There must be professional meteorologists(and what a great job title that is) on staff who fill in the blanks for temperature, precipitation, dew point and so forth. But who gets to write the pithy little descriptions? Today, Tuesday, Toronto is experiencing a low of minus seventeen (one-SEVEN) centigrade, and a high of minus thirteen (brrr-RRRR). The one-line description says 'brisk and bitterly cold'. Brisk? Brisk? Where is this writer from? Antarctica?
Tomorrow, luckily, with a forecast ranging from minus fifteen all the way up to minus nine, will be 'very cold with snow showers'. By Sunday, with a high of minus three, we will experience weather that is 'cloudy and not as cold'.
Break out the bikinis.
