Weather: waterworks, fireworks, & how the mindworks
[ by Charles Cameron — and reality alwys strains towards a metaphor of itself, doesn’t it? ]
.
Today’s weather headline:
This isn’t a metaphor, weather here means weather, even thought you might imagine it’s politics it’s talking about. If it was politics and we were lucky, the header might read:
Wild storm raging across globe to unleash all modes of extreme weather through the weekend
**
Here are some of the details, graphically — very graphically — represented:
Blizzard conditions and heavy snow
Extreme fire danger
Oh, my!
Tornadoes and severe storms
Torrents!
Just suppose this was politics, after all!
**
Another headline today:
That’s almost meteorological, ne?
Or try this one, a week out, and international in scope:
I’d be lost without my wifi..
