Never understood why US networks never show any weather north of the border specially in winter when everything comes in from the north.
Trust me when you live in Wisconsin they DO show those cold fronts coming in from your town! And it's 'never' a good thing!:C
If I want today's weather I look out the window. What I want to know is where tomorrow's weather is coming from, how fast, how hard.
X2 That is until you move south.
When I lived in the Midwest all I had to do was look out at the western sky to know if a front/storm was coming in. In winter if the gulf stream breeze was pushing north it meant one gigantic heavy snow storm. Pretty easy to determine what was going to be on your plate weather wise on any given day.
Fast forward to now staying in Florida? You don't know what the h is going to happen on any given day. It's a free for all. :B
Between the sea breezes coming from the east and west where not even the weather stations know just were they will collide to produce rain. And it downpours rains with the sun shining and is gone within minutes.
And the predictions of a severe freezing temps that actually only happen an hour or so before sunrise. Something a Northerner would not know. Up north that prediction would mean freezing temps from the minute the sun went down.
It sure IS an adjustment when you decide to go tropical.
