SCARE TACTICS — by Steve Nadis
The other night, the local TV weatherman (Harvey Leonard) crossed the line in trying to scare us about the cold weather that was moving in. He showed us a map that went all the way up to the North Pole where temperatures, not surprisingly, were about 0. I’m no meteorologist but since when does the temperature of the North Pole have anything to do with the temperature of lowly Boston?

Eh, no worse than always showing us the temperature at the top of Mt. Washington.
Good point Adam. –Snake
Well, Boston is at approximately 42 degrees north latitude, almost half-way between the Equator and the North Pole.
Good point, Laurence. What’s the weather going to be like in the Colombian Amazon tomorrow? Does that mean I should wear shorts (or thongs)tomorrow? –Snake

Um, please post a photo before I answer that.
Harvey just digs showing purple-colored temperature gradients. He’ll get over it. He gets this way EVERY November.
