Nah man. Global warming. An stuff.

only sept-june

She needs to be in a home.

Kidding of course. (ish)

You have to do summer yard work but don't have to move your own snow? What kind of rent-controlled hippy commune do you live in?

Oh and by the way...

I've wanted to establish an AB&B down there but my friends always talk me out of it implying it's not a great idea to "own" property in Mexico. I'm still considering.

They're bringing up the temperatures of next weeks cold spell, that makes me happier.

cold kills nasty bugs.

They are saying we won’t get above freezing Thursday and Friday. I don’t think that has happened since I moved here in 1994. Worked on winterizing the well house yesterday.

actual temp in Canada -44 with a wind chill of -85.

Well, that's stupid.

Holy hell Batman!!!

So true.

In Dante's Inferno-the bottom layers of Hell are frozen.

Never forget that.

going to get really cold again here. Below zero starting Thursday. Not above zero again until Monday.


Killing off the Japanese Beetle Larve and Ash Borers!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing thing that this is happening in Feb. Not Jan.

Yeah. We’re looking at a -10 low Saturday. It rarely ever goes below 0. But we had a really warm January so I guess we’re getting it.

to be fair where i live in the states we are above normal by quite a bit.

It's been between 0 and 5 degrees for days. It's 7 today so I''m gonna bust out the shorts and beach towel.

FML

They moved it to -15. Goooood damn it.

It got up to 14F here yesterday with the sun out and it legit felt great being outside compared to the last few days.

I actually just lost a 50 year old ash tree to those ****ers. Unfortunately this winter came a couple years too late.

**** this shit.

It might be time for me to stop looking. Last spring when it NEVER RAINED ****ING EVER I quit looking. It helped my life.

Affirmative, sir.

Just be glad you don’t have cows calving in it

no kidding. get them in!!!!!!

I mostly spend my time looking at residential listing in AZ, FL, and TX.

Which honestly doesn't help. ROFL

That’s no shit.

That’s also why I’m not a cowboy. Other than just being a bad cowboy.

I got nailed by something like that once. I was sitting out on the beach in Belize, bullshitting with my brother drinking a beer and this "thing" starts coming straight at us directly off the ocean. I mean it would pass over a large boat and the boat would disappear. We turned around and ran toward bar, but we were about 10 seconds too late. I have never seen it rain that hard.

When I was in the central part of PR, it would rain and then by sunny and then pour down rain again, all in the span of about 10 minutes.

Yep, Belize is the same way.

this shit is nuts

i'm going to try and contract skin cancer this summer

It's been 4 days way below freezing and it's not supposed to get there 'til a week from Friday. Weekend windchills -20 to -30 and some kind of big ass snow on Monday. We haven't had a cold spell (this frigid) this long in years.

sad news.
Just found out we had a pop explode in the garage



But also the ice in Texas. F that crap

wow

I saw the sun for the first time in a week today.

That was nice.

Ice in TX is no ****ing joke. People died in that video, I'm sure.

We were there for a thin sheet of ice several years ago and I've never seen anything like it. Of course, coming from up here, we were fine but the people around us were stupid, helpless, or both.

5 people dead so far. They'll likely dig out quite a few more. Insane how Texans just have no clue what it's like driving on ice...

How to drive on ice: you don't

edave-that should come with a Watch at your own risk warning. I did. just gross.

ice sucks. I also assume Tx does not do salt.

Welp, our forecast says a foot or more of snow starting Sunday evening, on top of the ice that's already here. Good times. :shake:

JFC... and the real shitty thing is there's just no where to go. Not that I know how long that stretch goes on that highway, but I can't think of many highways like that in KC, except for 169 near downtown and maybe parts of 69 and 435 in OP, where there's very little shoulder and just no way to even attempt to get out of the way.

I think they do to an extent, they don’t get ice often in DFW but often enough that they should know not to drive like normal conditions

From what I read, the accidents occurred on a bridge which freezes faster. Whenever I cross a bridge in those conditions, I do not press the brake. Might not have mattered.

I am not sure of the whole situation, but this did occur in TX, where people don't know how to drive on snow or ice. I am not sure if it would mattered. Crazy Germans drive on the Autobahn in dense fog at eleventy billion miles an hour and wonder why there are pile ups.

Glad I'm not somewhere out there

When we went down there, we were on the bridge next to the lake south of Denton. There was a Ford LTD on the front side of the bridge facing me. He had spun completely around on the bridge and was driving the wrong way on the interstate.

Oh, sorry. Oklahoma. :D

I WILL be there the first week of April paddlefishing however!

Texas does not salt. TxDoT typically uses either sand or sprays deicing fluid on bridges and overpasses.
Speculation is that this particular bridge was not properly treated with the deicing fluid. Time will tell.

If it's the same shit they use here, it makes it worse rather than better, at least with snow on it.

Followed a salt truck into work this morning.

It was -16. Salt rarely works and the exhaust water from cars freezes on the highway making it very slick..

We may be thawed out by then. :)

Just hope we are. Gotta tow a boat down there

This is a full-on "Faces of Death" style horror movie.

This was this morning. We always talk that southerners do not know how to drive in the snow. But many here do not take ice seriously or don't try.

If he would have gone off, he would have died. He is on a bridge

I have been in Austin for 20+ years and have always said that I prefer snow to ice if I HAVE to drive in it. Oh, and I don't miss shoveling snow!

But man, when you start spinning and can't get control back like that it is just a helpless feeling. I did that once on an overpass. Spun the wheel but couldn't get control. I was only going maybe 20 MPH. When I knew I had to let it ride out I threw my hands in the air and said "Whelp, that's all." My wife at the time freaked out thinking we were going over the edge. Never even came close That was a long, cold walk home in more ways than one. :)

If that -17 with a -30 wind chill happens in KC early next week, I'd really think that's close to a record. :bolt:

Right there with you on preference of snow over ice. We get that 1/4-1/2 “ of black ice on the road first and then the snow covers it up. Makes driving pretty tricky for sure

The last polar vortex we saw come thru a few years back had something like that. I could be misremembering but it doesn't really matter much when it gets to -15 below plus. Just feels like a deep freezer you're walking through.

**** that, its so above normal in Central California, that im sleeping with my window open a bit.

We’re looking at -19 out here. ****ing Christ.

Nah. I left in 94 and experienced worse than that. It might be a record for the date, but not a record.

zero degrees and I woke up to the sound of a motor running…..ask me how freaking happy I am to have a whole house generator....we had it installed 4 or 5 years ago. We are on Rural Electric coop and they are awesome but time to time shit breaks down. We had a Generac set up to run the whole house and its been needed a couple times. Today at zero it is powering two heat pumps, both running on partial heat strips. Feel bad for those without power for sure

In the grand scheme of things-this can happen.

45F in Northern Canada.

But colder than Mars.

For the love of god please stop snowing

I’m outside fertilizing the trees right now.

Interesting way to say you're high on bath salts and shitting in the bushes again.

Got a call from my uncle in Rock Springs, WY yesterday... 33 with just a touch of snow

Meanwhile in Illinois, its 5 with a feels like of -10 and no end in sight... FML :shake:

:LOL:
We've warmed up to 9. But the worst part was I couldn't find my snow shovel and had to go to Walmart. That place was a ****ing madhouse.

I mean really, do you really need nine loaves of bread and 5 gallons of milk?

Plus people were being assholes. That didn't help my normal chipper mood

:eek: Yikes what a difference down here. 76 degrees today. My wife is heading back to Missouri today. Supposed to be 0 or something like that.

This 2 weeks of temps around 0 are bullshit.

Thank you

Don't ya just hate that? Yes folks its gonna be bad for a week or two, hell I just stocked in some supplies myself... but the hoarding mentality is a form of mental illness

THE SNOW WILL MELT BEFORE YOU IDIOTS CAN EAT ALL THAT BREAD LOL

Agreed. Don't get me wrong because I know everyone has a different situation but ****. I went to the store last week and bought some shit but who the hell needs that much of any perishable item?

Maybe my wife is right and I'm turning into a cranky old bastard

It eventually happens to all of us...

The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami shifted earth on its axis by estimates of between 10 cm (4 in) and 25 cm (10 in) and increased earth's rotational speed by 1.8 µs per day.

Getting a little dusting of snow started.
