Have to say I’ve never heard of it. Seen it, but not aware of that specialised retail terminology. My son, who worked in a grocery store (The Reject Shop - you’d probably know it as a $2 shop or the like) hasn’t heard the term either.

Guess who is hot and who is cold.

Well, that wasn't much fun.

At 11:55, the temperature had warmed to 9°C before cratering. Six hours later it was 1°C with wind gusting over 55 kph and snow flurries. The forecast was bleak, so I went out and gathered remaining tomatoes and peppers (need to find recipe for fried green tomatoes!). Not fun at all!

Forecast is predicting a overnight low of -2°C and one to three inches of wet, wind-driven snow (gusts to 50 kph) by midday. As the National Weather Service's Area Forecast Discussion from this afternoon wrote:

Coming right on the heels of yet another mild stretch in our exceptionally warm fall to date, this short stretch of wintry conditions will feel more harsh than it typically would by this late into November.

IOW, seasonal weather is going to feel a lot colder because there hasn't been any transition, just an abrupt change. Oh well!

I’m pretty sure this topic is about bunt not punt, becoming common.

My fault. I apologise.

TR, that was a great article on special interest.
