Stagnant


My blog has been like the weather here on picturesque Cape Cod, stale. It has been a hot, sweaty mess the past few days. What is happening, is that there is a lazy, fat low pressure system hanging it's head over the east coast. The weather in the USA, usually moves from west to east and is kept moving by a high level, high pressure jet stream. The jet stream acts like a big, invisible (to the naked eye) wave that keeps low pressure in check. Right now, the low pressure is running a muck like a juvenile delinquent and the jet stream is having trouble moving it along. http://weather.unisys.com/satellite/sat_wv_hem_loop-12.html
I like the water vapor satellite loops, because you can get a good idea of what the weather systems are doing, simply by looking at the clouds move.
