Yikes

Vermont Public Radio has these great weather guys who are very knowledgeable, and very into the weather. But they are usually pretty even-keeled about things, and they seldom hype the weather or get all alarmist. That is why my ears perked up this morning when, despite their very mellow delivery, they used the words "extreme" and "brutal" to describe the cold front descending upon us tonight from Hudson Bay. Time to batten down the hatches, and stoke up the wood stove!
