The word "Crisp" has many meanings that I associate with it.

Crisp bacon, crisp lettuce, crisp fall air, come to mind, but tonight
"Crisp" was given a whole new meaning for me.

Two/Three feet of new snow in the mountains and declining temps over
the weekend.

It was announced over night lows of 12F were forecast and described as
being "Crisp".

"Crisp" being used to describe 12F weather is a whole nuther world,
IMHO.

Oh well, guess that is an extended meaning.

The local news are masters of creating something out of nothing. And there
is nothing like the weather to get excited about. After all, it is located
just outside of your window. Talk about a ready made news story!

And any kind of extreme weather?? They go nuts for those type of stories.

We have talked about it before on this newsgroup. Where ever you are in the
country, some media types will be reporting the weather like it was some
kind of nuclear holocaust soon.

I remember being out at the end of run way. I was a below zero morning
(rare in North Carolina piedmont). You could hear the F-4s cut the
air. That to me is a crisp morning.

Like that new (when I last watched TV) program from The Weather

had nightmares about, without any supporting evidence whatsoever. It's
downright criminal of them to do.

WE got some snow this morning. An inch or so. I fully expect the local
news folks to go into total crisis mode and convince us of our impending
doom.

I remember last year watching them "report" on the snow. There was a
reporter out there in the falling snow. And he was trying to "catch" snow
flakes. He wanted to show us the snow flakes. He was frustrated that the
snow flakes melted before he could show us the snow flakes. Isn't that the
kind of thing a 5 year old would do?

Down here (Alamaba), one of the local radio talk guys has "Live in Fear
Doppler Radar" updates. Snow is rare (twice in two years) but bad weather
isn't. Well, not so bad this year since global warming was canceled due to
lack of interest.

There was a time I thought of 12F as crisp - around 1960. Now 45F is crisp.

You do know that the ground hog population has exploded by 30% or so.
Seems the marginal rise in average temperature (just a degree or two)
results in a shortened hybernation period. That means a earlier
breeding season, meaning that the young are pretty full developed by
midsummer and out on their own... and more apt to survie to their own
first breedings.

Red fox, grey fox, opposum and racoon populations are burgeoning for
the same reason. (Count the 'possum and racoon roadkill...)

By the way, "premature ejaculation" is a successful reproductive strategy, too.

Sounds like you're one of those AGWK Belieeeeeevers, Steve. Show us
your banana tree, won't you? Then look up conception numbers for
humans, which show that we mate more in _any_ winter, when the cold
makes us rub up against one another for warmth. It'll blow the hell
out of your theory. chuckle

So are "I'll only stick it halfway in." and the "pull out early"
method. Plus, the rhythym system ain't got none...
