The first significant storm |
of the autumn is on it's way. The remnants of Hurricane Gordon is to
make land fall tomorrow. Northern Ireland is supposed to bear the brunt
of it but since we're only 30-odd miles away, at the closest point, I
reckon we're gonnae get some tae.
Pissin' rain and Gayle's, I mean, gales. Yay! I love a guid blaw.

Does "tae" mean "too"?

And I love a weather report that makes
me laugh. Enjoy the storm. It's raining
here, too -- but not much, um, blaw.

LOL.
From the on-line Dictionary of the Scot's Language:
"Blaw, v. Also: blawe, blau, blav; p.t. blew, blewe, bleu; p.p.
blawin, -yn, -ine, blawen, blauin, -ing, -en, blawne (blawnne); blaw.
[Northern ME. blaw(e, early ME. blawen, OE. bl=E1wan.] To blow, in
various senses.
1. Of the wind: a. intr. (Also fig.) For the vynd can stoutly blaw
Apon thar bak; Barb. xv. 278. Wyntir ... Richt bustuously blawand and
fast; Troy-bk. ii. 1655"

We are, as usual, going to be skipping autumn here in Wisconsin and rush
straight into winter.
I had the AC on last night and will probably have to turn on the heater
tonight.

Jeez! Luckily we've got the Gulf Stream protecting us (a bit). Without
that we'd be about 10 degrees colder than we are. I'm further north
than Moscow but don't get anywhere near as bad winters as they do. And
Wisconsin? You must be quite a bit further south than me.
When I was a kid we used to get regular, severe winters with loads of
snow. I haven't seen snow, that's lasted for more than a couple of
days, for about 7 years. I want my winters back!

Wisconsin is in the path of all the arctic Canadian air during winter...
it's getting to where you can feel it in the air even on the warmer days.
