‘Quirk’. Now there is as scientific a term as I have ever heard. It is a placeholder for ‘we have no idea what we are talking about but hope you will be snowed anyway’. ‘Snowed’ is a term often encountered in climatology. It is derived from ‘snow’ or ‘thing of the past’. I guess they have adopted another use for that outdated brand of weather that skiers used to love.
Let us all thank ‘The Quirk’ for the good fortune of our missing hurricanes. May they stay lost. Thank-you, O Great Quirk!
Is it anything like the ‘Great Pumpkin’?
