weather warning

回到美国的好处是,我们在所有相同的页面上都了解了很多事情。我很舒服去商店寻求帮助,值得庆幸的是,实际上有数百种洗发水,因为他们确实是thatdifferent.

Really.

Sure we disagree about politics, religion, and Lou Dobbs (Can someone just say to him, “Okay. We got your point.”) But one thing that we all agree on is how important, how vital, how absolutely critical it is to know the weather forecast.

On every morning news show, the weatherperson is there, breathlessly reporting each droplet that might fall from the sky, that there’sa chance这个周末的风暴即将来临,或者可能期望潮湿的天气。

And if that’s not enough, there’s constant play-by-play recounts throughout the day, at five minute intervals, via news-breaking worthy weather alerts with heart-pumping names likeWeather WatchorAction Weather, and the most fearsome of them all—First Warning Weather.

I guess it’s nice in the newsroom, to know you’ve gotten there first with the weather report. But does it really matter?

I don’t know. I don’t have time to think about it.

They say there’s a chance that it might rain, and I gotta go get ready for it. Somehow.

    是的,我同意 - 所有疯狂的,闪烁的图形和脚步器都使观看新闻真正引起了压力!如果天气频道在屏幕上有一些闪电螺栓,则要点。:)

      David, I live in Austin but I am currently in southern India. I forgot about you being in Austin right now and imagine my surprise when this slow internet cafe connection beamed up a weather graphic I am familiar with!! Speaking of, the only morning weathergirl you should watch is Susie on KEYE. She’s a kindred chocolate spirit!

        Maybe they could spice it up with a weather update that includes the related “big storm tornado” cheesecake recipe or “possibly hailstorm” triffle?

        Now we could have a set of food related sponsors for the weather like the rest of the news being sponsored by all those prescription drugs we never knew we needed, but really must ask our doctors about.

        至少坐下会更有趣;)

          Ok, I get it if a tornado might head right through my kitchen (literally ripping my Kitchen Aid from my arms), but the constant yapping about rain clouds … I can just look out the window. I did see a very useful weather thingy online the other day: The Frizz Index. It’s supposed to indicate if you’re gonna get a bad hair day. How have I lived without this piece of information?

          And yes, Lou Dobbs … I’ve been in the States for six years now and he has talked about te same thing every night. I get it.

            Fun last night. Thanks!

              我会不同意以前的评论者。一切都与吉姆·斯宾塞(Jim Spencer)和第一次警告天气有关。吉姆·斯宾塞(Jim Spencer)永远存在,他是最好的。

                • David

                Oddly, when I got to the airport this morning, my flight was delayed 10 minutes. When I was joking around w/ the ticket agent, she said, “With this weather, you’re lucky it’s just 10 minutes.”

                我看着外面,有些阴沉。

                Just slightly.

                  • caroline

                  I don’t have TV anymore, but I have to admit I kinda miss the Weather Channel. For some reason it was soothing to have it playing in the background.

                    • stacy

                    哈哈 - 那让我发笑。我们确实喜欢我们的天气,尤其是在预计极端风暴时。当有恶劣天气的可能性时,您应该为整天的天气谈话做好准备。我对此感到非常兴奋。大声笑,我的意大利丈夫花了一段时间才习惯。

                    If you were headed to Dallas – well I’m sure we welcomed you with some fun severe storms. gotta love a Texas spring!

                      • 波莉

                      So true! And also, how about the difference between the French and American TV meteorologists?

                      I love how the weather newscasters in France (almost all female) are so no-nonsense yet still so va-va-va-voom.

                        • 玛丽

                        Give us a break here, David. I got dressed in the dark (power out due to storms), had to move piles of branches out of the driveway before I could get the car out, and drove through streets piled with branches, people’s garbage trolleys, blown-off chimney caps and bricks…and it’s just April. If you lived in Texas you might not make fun of our weather reports. My family is scattered all over the state, and we like to know what to expect.

                          • Eric

                          Ditto what LP said, Jim Spencer on 24 lurves the weather–he gets sooooo incredibly excited about explaining the science of meteorology. He’s my favorite weather elf. Austin’s in Texas’ “flash flood alley” and America’s “tornado alley,” so maybe we’re also in “extreme local weather channel alley,” too.

                            • 瓦尔

                            我上次在伦敦时,我正在看天气,绝对被“更天气天气”的预测感到困惑。那和“凉爽,更新鲜的空气”还不足以使我受过美国训练有素的天气本能进行描述。

                              When we were in Paris last month we loved watching the weather…but I am a self-confessed weather geek…give me a surface map and the barametric pressure and damn the dopler…oops I got carried away.

                              David, I want to thank you for all the great advice you’ve doled out on eating in Paris. I think I got all but 3 of your top 10 and alas…I still mourn the missed chocolate marshmallow…but oh, everything we ate was divine.

                                • carole

                                来吧,大家都知道这些话:

                                And all over the world
                                Strangers
                                Talk only about the weather.
                                All over the world
                                It’s the same

                                  The weather is with us so why not talk about it. I agree Lou Dobbs needs a new topic

                                    • timhenk

                                    我的情绪完全是。如果您发现自己在密尔沃基,那么降水的机会(或布雷特·法夫尔(Brett Favre)的降水)丝毫可能会从上午6点至下午6点不停地告诉您有关它的情况。

                                      • Kirby

                                      大卫,今晚我去了您的中央市场课程,您正是我知道您会成为的魅力 - 任何没有去过您的班级的人都错过了。老实说,这些食物都很棒,您在此网站上提供的杏仁饼和巧克力轨道蛋糕的食谱将所有这些食谱从水中吹出。当您说您要去桑尼·布莱恩(Sonny Bryan)的(“他要去GD连锁店!!!!)吃晚饭时,我想插话,但我会让它过去。感谢您度过一个美好的夜晚!迫不及待地想让您和您的笨拙的魅力回来!PS李子很好,但有些约会食谱也很棒。

                                        funny, clicking through the tv, and there was louie mouthing about you know what, again. but besides that, i have a slight addiction to the weather channel. ah, mike bettes, what a cutie. somehow it’s that combo of useless and probably incorrect weather “predictions” with the sound of late night pseudo porn music that just gets me going ;)

                                          • 琳达

                                          I’m sure you’ve heard that the weather channel is MTV for older Americans. I don’t know why but I am fascinated by weather and I used to watch it all of the time when I lived in the States. Now I check out the weather via the Internet but it just doesn’t seem the same. By the way, it is raining in France right now.

                                            • 乌姆布里亚的朱迪思

                                            官方宣布:我已经陷入了公然的狂热者。奇怪的是,巧克力永远不够。

                                              • 桑德拉

                                              我们都可以看着窗户,看来我们知道它当前在做什么。但是正如马克·吐温(Mark Twain)曾经说过的那样:“如果您不喜欢天气,请等待五分钟并观看它的变化”。I’m sure that in Texas storm clouds move through quickly enough, but here in Boston, they can linger and drag in cold Canadian weather that never seems to want to leave New England this spring–it’s April and still feels like winter….but we had a nice taste of warmth yesterday. I know the weather channels and forecasts are good for something sometime someplace–that is if something big is coming like the Texas twisters or New England blizzards, otherwise there’s no excitement–let’s get on to something else.
                                              And the suggestion for something spicy included is a good idea……

                                                太有趣了,
                                                我在该国居住了3年(住在意大利),现在看到天气让我感到非常安慰。Makes me feel I am really home…that and commercials (we couldn’t get commercials on the channels we watched.) We do have an obsession with weather though, you are right..that and smellies (shampoos, deoderants, perfumes etc..) God Bless America :)

                                                  • Leslie

                                                  Ha! I never really thought about it before but those names really ARE heart-pumping. Just reading “Action Weather” made my blood pressure go up a tick like “OMG! It’s weather!! And it’s coming!!”

                                                    • Heidi

                                                    当您不下雨(得克萨斯州)时,当您这样做时,洪水泛滥成灾,龙卷风的机会(4月),您会学会观看天气。

                                                      • 琳达H

                                                      That nasty Texas weather came up here (Illinois) and now it’s gonna SNOW and FREEZE for the next three nights all over my budding apricot trees, which means no home-made apricot jam this year. Crap.

                                                        • Frances

                                                        Just be real thankful you are not in my household! My son who has autism, is addicted (amoungst the rest of his classmates who are ASD) to the weather channel! For 16 years the weather channel has been on in the house for at least 1 (sometimes 4 depending on the stress level)hour a day. Its a phenomenon that even John Hopkins Medical Institutions have done trial research on to see what the common interest for kids with autism are. So at least the weather channel will always have the angels watching them. That should count for something!
