National COLD wave

[ruggero]

Well we're expecting + 43 degrees celsius tomorrow that's up near or over +110 fahrenheit.
Normal top in about a month is usually +42, last year it was early too,
when we had 46 c (that's 118 f!)
We're breaking all records hottest, wettest, driest, it's all over the place and now our conservative politicians are becoming denialists. Before when they were in power they were only procrastinators.
The population is hiding behind airconditioners, more and more airconditioners and the government is scared the economy might be damaged if they do any-thing.
Meanwhile there are no jobs when the airconditioners cause power blackouts and business and public transport grind to a halt regardless.
Then there's the uncontrollable bushfires.
The latest policy is abandon your homes before the fires start, so roads aren't blocked in panic, because tomorrow will be catastropic(!) 2/3 of one of our states have been told to abandon their homes, are they supposed to all go to the other third?
Meanwhile the conservatives say that they don't believe it's happening!
As it is I have to sit here naked and dripping to type this as the computer is a heat source.....enjoy the cold!

I like to rub two sticks together to keep warm, I have one and am looking for another to rub mine with ; )

Jebus...I'm gone for two weeks and you all let the US turn into an icebox.

My front and back yard look like a fire has been set to the grass and plants due to the frost/freeze although I covered most of it up. Yesterday we had sleet. Its freaking cold and I hate indoor heat. This isn't supposed to happen in Florida. Next time someone complains about how hot it is and how they miss the cold weather, I am going to kick them in the ass so hard that they will end up back up north to enjoy their damn cold.

Well, now that I have let that out, I feel much better. Still cold but I can move forward (haha)...

Over here in Europe, there's also a Europe-wide cold wave. In Belgium we've had frost 24/7 for over 2 weeks now, which is very unusual.
And the UK endured its coldest night in over 30 years. I believe it was -22°C (-8°F) in Schotland.
And now the salt for the roads is running out in most countries... so that means we'll be able to skate to work and school on the roads.

Its cold and the past year had a bit of volcanic activity, and the jet stream has shifted....the winters in NYC after Mount St Helens popped its cork were excessive for the ice, wind chill and lower than usual tempetures...

I'm taking bets on who's the first moron to give us a rant against global warming which, in any event, is more accurately called climate change. Wait for it...

That's already happened, you Big Bucket O'Hotness >>

Well, it's just a few lines, so probably can't be considered a rant. And I don't know the person so I don't know if they're a moron. But it's all Shame-on-Al-Gore of course. I bit my tongue (or keyboard?).

It was a balmy and sunny 72 degrees here today. (there has to be one asshole in every thread doesn't there?)

I have a big house, so if any of you sexy bisexuals need a place to warm up... my doors are never locked. :biggrin:

Been pretty bad in the UK, but surprisingly where I am near East Midlands Airport / J25 M1, it's not been as bad as the rest of the UK, but go 20 miles north up the M1 to Mansfield, place has been in absolute lockdown, and last week, the Chesterfield / Sheffield areas bearly had any public transport running.

Yep, like most of Europe, we are struggling like hell for road salt, but one Dutch town has found a rather nice smelling way to their problem...

D) Global warming my ass! I dunno where it's warming, but it sureashell ain't here. If I should bump into Al Gore, I'm gonna personally betchslap him.

God, BigD. How did I miss that??

 

[DaveyR]

Currently a nice 28c here with a nice breeze. :smile:

 

[ital8]

I just heard that on the news. How far below average are you? We may set a new record for cold tonight in Dallas for this date. Are you in record breaking territory or just more cold than usual?

I'm actually from America, lol. NJ to be exact. I was just basing what I said also from the news.

I've been burning greenhouse gasses...chuckle

that's what I heard from one of my guys, whose home is in San Diego, calling from his new assignment in Seattle

aw, man! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

 

[BigDallasDick8x6]

Wow, what a difference a week or two can make. 67 degrees here in Dallas at the moment. I just finished taking all the tropicals out of the garage -- palm trees, lemon tree, lime, sastuma, etc as well as potted patio plants ferns, begonias, etc. It will be above freezing for the next 10 days. Won't put the orchids back out yet because they can't take below 55 degrees. It will be a while before that happens. And they don't like sun anyway, being rainforest dwellers.
