I'm not in the South but out West.
WE used to say: "Dumber than a box of hair" but "dumber than dirt" works VERY well too. :o)
Our planet has been around four billion years+ and we have been keeping track of weather for MAYBE a few hundred years so WHO IN THE WORLD knows what our true climate predictions are or will be!
LOL Perhaps we’d best ask Buck Rogers. He would know about that weather machine being used. In Texas we’re happy that the drought has subsided a bit. For the past few years, our outdoor BBQ and smoking has been ‘iffy’ And, even worse, no fireworks for Independence Day in the towns that normally have their their yearly show. This year, when it rains, it pours!!
