Humidex: pah!
\nWind chill: bah!<\/p>\n
Hot is hot; cold is cold. Hot or<\/em> cold, cold or<\/em> hot; just get over it already. The wind chill was bad enough. “Uh … did you know it’s colder if you stand in the wind?” Sheesh. But now they are trying to push the idea that hot is hotter if it’s, you know, hot. I don’t want to believe a Canadian came up with the humidex, but it’s true. Why couldn’t we have just sat the whole silly weather game out? That way we could have been quietly smug: totally the Canadian way and a perfect way to celebrate Canada Day.<\/p>\n Anyway, my predictions for July? Well there are going to be some hot days and some cool days. Oh, and some rainy days. If you want to know which is which, just open your door and step outside. It will be pretty apparent without having to resort to made-up measures.<\/p>\n \u2014excerpt from The Beaver Monologues<\/b>; published 2013<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Humidex: pah!
