Wait a sec, I thought all you folks in the Great Wet
North had already evolved air-permeable water-tight
frog skin. Wouldn't that be like giving a fish a
multiplier for having to swim? :-)

But take heart, the "Saddest WX Tale" is an official
prize category now. Take a picture and tell us why your
FYBO wx sucked more than anyone else's, and you'll win a
40-9er. And maybe a relocation package from the Phoenix
chamber of commerce. :-)
