Or so the song says.
The dewpoint today at this hour is 37 degrees. The temperature right now is 37 degrees. Yup...100% humidity. Drizzle. Dense fog forecast. Sure does make the snow go away though. And it does a very good job of plugging up my lungs, thank you Mrs. Nature.
It isn't all weather either, but the weather helps it along. When we get conditions like this and a south wind like we have, the foul air alerts go off big time here...it seems that industrial pollution from the southern states gets hauled up this way on the jet stream and deposited right here where I live.
I'm not going to carp about this weather though. We're supposed to see almost 50 today and anything the falls out of the sky at 50 doesn't require shoveling or fighting a snow blower. AND, it has opened up some shoreline water that I have every intention of exploiting today sometime. I am actually humoring taking the boat to the river with about 3000 other people with boats that are tempting them. I'm gonna start the outboard for about five seconds and leave the boat where it is this weekend but I am getting a rod and shore box ready. Save for the thick air, this is darned near picnic weather...shorts and short sleeves anyway. I really wouldn't mind if it rained though and got some of this wet air dried out some.
