Snow...

My family's van just got stuck in the slush. There was a whole tonne of water under some snow so the wheels sunk down and the van became high centered. Spent about 45 minutes digging it out. I'll take it over the freezing cold though.

It has been hovering between -5 and 0 all week. It's been really nice walking outside, still nippy but not cold.

Exactly. Your choice is really either get stuck in 0 degree weather, or get stuck at crazy near arctic conditions. Thanks to snow you get stuck regardless.

Man it's nice being able to read a thread without going "15? That's not cold at all! Oh wait... fahrenheit"

15 Fahrenheit isn't even cold compared to what we're used to.
-40 Celcius and -40 Fehrenheit are the same temp.

True enough.

Everything is melting here! It is disgustingly warm.

You know, we really haven't had any snow here since before Christmas, nothing that really makes a difference anyway. Still hanging around 0 here.

Global warming . . .

Yeah, and the -40 spell you had before was just an anomaly... is anyone else tired of hearing about global warming?

You know, I do believe we've screwed over our climate in some ways. Al Gore's presentations are drastically over proportioned.
But, the fact is that the Arctic is melting. It's something that seems to be overlooked when people think the climate is natural. Maybe it is natural, but either way, the glaciers are melting very fast.
I believe there are holes in the Ozone as well. The dramatic increase of UV rays is some sort of proof.
I don't know. I don't get too worried about it, it's overblown and God knows what he's doing, or allowing.

Exactly.

I'm still not convinced anything is melting or that the ozone hole is anything other than a yearly natural occurence.

Snow!

After close to a month of nearly nothing, we got a few centimetres this morning.

normajean777 · 01-19-2010, 07:11 PM

When I had a car we had pure snow and ice for like a month solid. Now that I don't have a car, the conditions have been great, its been warm, no ice. This is ridiculous.

That's just how it seems to go, isn't it. Ah life.

We got another little dusting last night.
