Bringing Weather to Life. . .

I have this very strange habit. I am addicted to the weather channel. I have to know what the weather is going to be like! Not only local weather but I like hearing about the weather all over the world. Did you know there is a severe weather watch in parts of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania? I did. Did you know this is the last month in the hurricane season? And that the majority of hurricanes during the month of November usually fall off the coast of the Yucatan Pennisula or come up along the east side of Florida but stay out to sea? This is the average according to the last 100 years of records. At least that is what the weather channel tells me. This morning I learned that it is a comfortable temperature although rather hazy for this time of year in Budapest and I learned that a cold front in moving through the north to mid California. Oh the facinating things you can learn from the weather channel.

And it's not just about weather. Today I learned how and when to plant garlic and yesterday I found out how to tell the differences between seasonal allergy symptoms and flu symptoms. Its great stuff. My cable has it on channel 66 and they do the local forcasts on the 8's, so 7:38, 7:48, 7:58, etc. if you ever want to know what the weather is like before you go to school you should check it out. They also do traffic updates- just on the major freeways though, if your parents wanted to know. Then you could be like, "Mom, I heard that the southbound 15 is backed up from the 78 to the 52. Current speeds are only in the 40's and the average drive time is almost an hour." I think they would be really impressed especially when you start spouting off what the weather is like in Rome this time of year and how hotels are catering more to business travelers.
