Alert Days

Every day is an "alert day" – a term I vaguely understand to mean extreme weather.   They declare alert days for snowy days, super hot days, super cold days, but I don't think they've really ever elaborated on the definition.  Not even once.

To their credit, the weather people tend to get super enthusiastic when there's a run of bad weather and we're suddenly handed a reprieve.  

Anyways, I'm going to spend a lot of time inside in the next week.  Kind of like this past week, when there were only a few alert days.
