crummy stationary fronts

I don't think any kind of weather is as irritating to me as these
summertime stationary fronts that just drape themselves through the
midwest, generating day after day of fog, rain, drizzle, low clouds,
tstorms. Very little wind, air so stagnant that it too is
irritating. I tried to fly from Chicago to Albuquerque along one of
these once. As long as I was able to stay north of it, it was nice
weather when tailwinds, but trying to penetrate it produced one night
in Dodge City and another forced landing at Tucumcari - ended up
driving the rest of the way in a rented 95 buick with 100000 miles on
the clock.
