Curiosities of English...

...the English language, that is!

My first task of the day was to check the National Weather Service site to see if the 70 degree forecast for today was still expected. I don't think I can waste a warm sunny day, and my bike decided to stay in the car when I got home from yesterday's ride, thinking that I could ride today at lunchtime. Let's see, get to the office early, take off to enjoy the mid-day sunshine, then work a little later than normal.

But back to the weather forecast... today looks great, tomorrow too. It was tomorrow's forecast that made me laugh though: Breezy, with a calm wind becoming south between 18 and 21 mph.
Tell me, do the words breezy and calm really go with one another?
