You're not the only one seeing things these ways as you put it as we see it, but it's Getting tedious when, once again, mild wins out. Seems that whenever the USA do well out of it, we end up getting the dregs. The Jet stream or its northern arm is extremely active and will likely stay that way all the whilez because of those lows America keep pushing out. The high cannot get a hold the poor thing.... Its boring plain and simple.... bless the USA ??
