    Ones I did not use ...

    Ail (hail that falls only in England)

    Bust (in joke for my homies)

    Col

    Depression (not the sad kind)

    Eesh (what we are saying these days in weather forum)

    FFS (winter 2019-2020)

    Graupel (shoulda)

    Hilarious (maps shown at 16 days)

    Inverted trough (not suitable for gardening)

    Joke (another reference to winter 2019-2020)

    K-k-k-kold (cold weather in Alabama)

    Laughable (snow predictions generally speaking)

    Mistral (le)

    Not this again

    OMG is that the Sun?

    Pissinitdown

    Quite (quite cold, quite hot, quite windy)

    Roaring Forties

    Severe

    Tormato (aftermath of a strong wind hitting tomato farm)

    Unknown (most weather is or should be)

    Very (very warm, very cold, very windy)

    X-rated (weathergirls who forgot to wear tops, it could happen)

    YES !!! (what weather forum said upon seeing 72h maps on Feb 25, 2018)

    Zulu (this should actually win for z, come to think of it, which I didn't)

    come on man!

    The Intertropical Convergence Zone, known by sailors as the doldrums or the calms because of its monotonous, windless weather, is the area where the northeast and southeast trade winds converge. It encircles Earth near the thermal equator, though its specific position varies seasonally
