Wintry Mix-up

With global warming here (at least for now), being a weatherman has gotten way easier. Nobody second guesses them about snow ‘cause it hardly ever snows anymore. So they don’t get blamed like weathermen of the past for underestimating snowfall.  No, today’s weathermen, when they predict participation, just say we may experience something called a “wintry mix”. That, my readers, is way too easy…

So, like, when did wintry become a word? I introduce the new words every year and I don’t remember that one. When I first heard that term on the news, I thought it was a lead in or a commercial for a new Oprah special. Wintry.
