We (in the upper Midwest) are in the grips of some cold weather right
now. This is not surprising, since the last week of January is
statistically the coldest week of the year.

Honestly, will this "Nanny State" we've created ever right itself?
We're paying hundreds of meteorologists, in the employ of the Federal
Government, under the auspices of the National Weather Service, to
issue WARNINGS TO DRESS WARMLY...

It is to weep...

The nanny state lives. Roadside signs are (at least to me), the most
common expression. E.G.: "Bridge May Ice in Winter", "Slippery when Wet".
Who knew???

Imagine the possibilities for signage. At the beach: "Don't look
Directly into the Sun.", "Sun Exposure causes Skin Cancer", "Danger:
Water"...

The possibilities are endless. I think I'll start a sign business.

Let me know if you get stuck and need a hangar overnight.

Thanks for the offer!

However, I was delayed by our annual R/C swap meet at the airport
today, and then out-voted by my long-suffering family, who decided
that the high winds and cold temperatures just didn't sound like fun
in Atlas when it was already too late to fly to Wisconsin.

I allowed myself to be convinced... We "flew" the Toyota to the mall
instead...

I know you don't like
government employees, but try visiting one of the forecasting sites -
you might be surprised about what they do and don't do.

Where did you ever get that idea? I absolutely adore all government
employees who do their jobs efficiently, and accomplish their tasks at
a price that matches the market value of their work.

I've even met her, once. Her name is "Ruby", and she's a black woman
who works for the IRS. Without her, the entire US Government would
grind to a halt.

So for what reason do you think that the meteorologists aren't doing
their jobs efficiently?

Note that the warning to dress warmly that you got - you said it was from
a Weather Channel widget. Now I could be wrong, but isn't the Weather
Channel a private company? Perhaps you should bemoan the nanny
corporation before the nanny state...

Okay, I'll bemoan that, too. I've seen enough corporate welfare lately
that it's easy to despise them, too.

Of course, it's the corporate whores who have government stooges in
their hip pockets that make the corporate welfare possible, so, dang,
I guess I'll have to hate 'em all...

It is, but it gets its data from the government, like all weather
networks.

I've noticed that many people dress for the season, not for the
weather. If it's winter, they wear lots of warm clothing; if it's
summer, they wear cool clothing. The only problem is that they never
actually look at the thermometer, so they are often improperly
dressed.

Sounds like a woman problem to me ...... (ducking and running)

The NWS issued a wind chill warning for Melbourne FL last week. It
was so "cold" I could actually see my breath! :-)

It was horrible! I had to wear a long sleeve shirt and put the top up on my
roadster for my morning commute. ;-)

NWS has issued another severe weather alert for MLB and vicinity for tonight
and tomorrow night. Forecast is for 42 tonight with wind-chill in the mid
30s. Looks like I might need a jacket in the morning.

The only distinction I see in that respect is that women are much more
likely to dress for looks, and then complain about being too cold or
(very rarely) too hot.
