Clement weather! (Just in time for the long weekend)

There is a terrific word used today by Philip Kennicott in the Washington Post: clement.  We hear about inclement weather all the time, but nice weather can indeed be termed clement (I looked it up).

“The approximately 150-foot-tall seasonal inflatable structure would be inflated during clement months for special events . . . “

The article is about a temporary dome that might be added to the Hirshhorn Museum.

On a related note, please do not add any nocuous comments to this post.

I’m still waiting for a description of someone who grew with moderate challenges in a somewhat well-off town to be described as having a medium-scrabble upbringing.
