An explanation for our horrible weather

The Globe takes a stab at explaining why it has rained every weekend. Blame it on Greenland:

For weeks, a large and powerful high pressure system has loomed over Greenland, locking in a weather pattern for thousands of miles to the west. Storm systems approaching the icy island are stalling as they bump against the ridge of high pressure there. These storms then draw energy from the relatively warm water in the North Atlantic's Gulf Stream, growing in size and throwing rain down on the eastern coast of the United States.

Stupid Greenland....
