For years I have heard that Minnesotans spend more TV time reporting weather than other parts of the country. After watching Florida's "weathercast" documenting our misery up north and their alarm at cold 70 weather, I wonder if that is true. Today I am up early and again considering the merit of a nighttime margarita. While online, I checked the local forecast. Now, I am puzzled by the meaning of "apparent temperature". ??? Don't they use sophisticated instruments to measure the temperature? At 3:00am does someone just stick their head out the door and say, "apparently it's not too cold"? Time to check my dictionary for another meaning for the word apparent.
