The underused word that concerns me is squall. How can we live in a place like Alberta and not hear the word squall 3 times a day before 9 am. Come on people ... it's a word tailor made to describe Alberta weather.
"I was bent over tying my shoes when all of a sudden a squall came out of nowhere and blew a pound of sleet down my butt crack."
Who hasn't had that happen to them? But do we ever hear the word squall? No.
