Before we even look at the current temp, I need to clear something up, via run-on-sentence (look away, Mrs. Rich, my 7th grade grammar teacher). Has to do with weather and the south.

I was watching a video titled *cough* “Things” Southern Women Say (made by Southern Boyz Outdoors via Facebook), which I shall not link herein because this is a family show, but anyway, at the 0:51 mark, a southern lady suspicious of gathering clouds and a pending rainstorm said: read more
