Heat is ON!

As a weatherman, we LOVE storms.  But after the last couple weeks, even I could use a break.  So instead of storms, here comes BIGTIME heat.  The hottest stretch of weather we've seen since last summer!  But heat is still kind of boring to report, especially day after day.  It actually makes my job harder as I have to come up with new and exciting ways to say "It's Hot." 

People forget that heat can be a killer, especially if you don't have access to air conditioning.  So check on your neighbors and friends and we sweat it out together!

As my hair makes me look like an upside down broom, as I wring the sweat out of my socks at the end of the day, as my sun block makes me smell like a worn tire, I'll try to remember not to "shoot the messenger"!  And feel free to use any of that on the air when you run out of ways to tell viewers how hot it is.

Horses sweat, men perspire, and women "glow," right?

Nope.  Not this woman.  I sweat.  I sweat a LOT.  And dressed in a business suit and enough makeup to look "tan" on tv, it ain't a pretty combination when I start melting in front of the governor, or the mayor, or whomever else I may be interviewing outside.

I promise, Russell, I won't "shoot the messenger," but don't be surprised if you hear me growl.  

I'm from Cleveland - I like snow, for God's sake.  90 degree temps from now until next weekend?  Might as well be the end of time.  

Stick me in a cacoon, and turn the AC down to a comfy 72.  I HATE THE HEAT.  Don't even get me STARTED  on the humidity.

Is it October yet?

Hey, why not let us viewers suggest alternatives to "hot".  We could do it here on the blog.  My vote is "smutzy"
