At least Nero played a fiddle whilst Rome burned. Does Obama play a musical instrument?
You should be demanding that these corrupt politicians get off their arses and put the people and country first, not what their paymasters demand.

My family relies on these forecasts during the summer months, and not only is streak a word they don't use, I have never heard or seen them use the terms dynamic support and amalgamating, ever. My car radio picks up the weather band, and I have never heard this wording.
I wouldn't put it past someone, but I'm with you, it just doesn't seem right.

Can you point to the anchorage page. I have the site but I don't find that item in the updates, as yet.
Jet Streak
Same as Jet Max; a point or area ("streak") of relative maximum wind speeds within a jet stream.

Those same forecasts kept us from fishing very much this summer.
My husband has relied on these for 22 years and even he is saying right now that he has NEVER heard this wording used before. I wouldn't put it past someone as I stated previously, but I know how they format their forecasts and this is not it.
I checked the link, but it is worded way differently than I have ever seen before. Nothing changes that.edit on 5-10-2013 by woodsmom because: (no reason given)

When December arrives and we get right on into the New Year without TPTB declaring martial law, killing citizens like sport in a shooting gallery, inviting in UN troops to join the sport or otherwise violating us in unspeakable ways?

I think it is funny that federal workers are now getting upset given that the federal government working with corporations has trashed the economy and jobs. Welcome home.

I cannot understand how such a pro democratic country such as the U.S has allowed a Government close down. You should be demanding that these corrupt politicians get off their arses and put the people and country first, not what their paymasters demand.
But hey, that's the problem with 2 party politics. It's not really democracy is it? It's just voting for two sides of the same coin. It's an illusion that we all fall for because we have been conditioned to believe that any alternative would be bad for us. When in fact any alternative would be bad for them and their corporate/banking buddies.
Best of luck with it. We are being told in the U.K that any U.S default on their debt will cripple the rest of Western civilisation. At least Nero played a fiddle whilst Rome burned. Does Obama play a musical instrument?

Here you go... Area Forecast, Anchorage, AK 500AM Fri Oct 4. (currently version 5, but it will change as new forecasts are given)
It should be the 1st paragraph. This is hilarious.
This is what the hyperlink on the above page gives as a definition for "jet streak":
