Global Warming?!?!
-
Please note this actually is not about global warming from the political side. So all this talk of global warming has me wondering if people will share. Daytime highs in the teens and overnight lows at zero have me wishing for something warm, anything warm. I'm *so* ready to go back to Jamaica. Anybody else freezing your buns off in unseasonably cold weather? It's so cold here the draft from outside into our Microwave hood freezes the Microwave and that baby really cycles to warm up. We got back from San Antonio, TX at about 1:00AM our time and getting my car to start in 7 degrees had me a bit worried. But she's a Toyota 4Runner, she labored for about 1/1000 of a second and then fired right up. All I really have to say though is that I'm really tired of being *very* cold. The globe might be warming up but it's the start of the ice age in our neck of the woods. - Rex

nope. it's finally in the average (50F) range again, here, after weeks of above-average temps.

With hot, you can stay cool with drinks, pools, or wearing little clothing. With cold, no matter how hard you try, you'll freeze. You can drink all the hot cocoa, bundle up in 8 layers of clothing, leave only your eyes exposed, and you'll still freeze. On top of all that, cold has the nice benefit of creating iced roads, causing vehicle accidents. You're forced to shovel your driveway, sidewalk, doorstep, a strip of road for your mailbox, and if you're lucky, your roof, lest it cave in from the weight of several feet of snow. Cold is bad. Warm is good. :)

hmm it is the exact opposite for me. With heat, and especially with humidity, nothing you do cools you down. Especially if you are at work in a suit. With cold though you just put on some clothes and you warm up. There is only so many clothes you can take off in the heat but you can put on as much clothes in the cold as you want. Saying that, I love the heat.

It was in the 60's a week and a half ago here (near Albany NY). This morning, 5 (F). However, there's not a flake of snow to be found anywhere (well, apparently Rhinebeck had a 1/2 inch) and the Catskills are bare. I imagine the ski resorts are having fits. It did snow in Las Vegas last week. More snow there than we've had here! The temperature in winter really fluctuates with the ever fickle jet stream. If it's drawing down from the artic, then brrr...

You ain't got the proper clothes (or skin) then :rolleyes:

Don't have them so ain't gonna be a problem.

doorstep
Since our doorstep is about a foot high we're ok, besides we use the door inside the garage and that won't get blocked, just open the garage door (opens vertically in runners).

mailbox
Delivered to the house by the postie, if we're not around he/she'll leave it in the garage.

your roof
Considering our house roof is >200 years old and sloped at 45° on both sides (nothing to stop snow) and seen worse snow falls then I don't think that's a problem. ;P

QFT. We have had unseasonably warm weather all winter until today. In philadelphia, today is the first day this winter where the high temp is below freezing. Bring on the global warming, I want some more 60 degree days.

No, the eastern part of the US is being unseasonably warm. I['m in johnstown pa, and instead of being around 30 or less all month it's been yoyoing between highs of 35 and 55, and the only meaningful snowfall we've had so far was 2-4" yesterday. The 2 week forecast has a few more rounds of flurries and what might be a good snowfall at the end of the month. This is disgusting, we need to nuke the middle east to start a nuclear winter to fix it. -- Rules of thumb should not be taken for the whole hand.

I've lived in a lot of different climates and the coldest are consistently the areas where it's normally fairly warm and only gets really cold maybe once a decade or so. No one is prepared for it, houses aren't built for it and so you freeze. By contrast I lived up north just off the Alaska Highway and it regularly got down to -40 in the winter and I very rarely shivered outside or inside. I had a house that was insulated about a million times better than the house I'm in now on the west coast and I had the "Tough Duck" down jacket and "Sorrel" boots and no worries. Everyone in the know is regretting the popularization of the term global warming and trying to change it to "climate change" because everyone expects it to get warmer but it's more complex than that.

It's been so cold here for the past two weeks that the snowbirds are talking about going home to get warm! It's ridiculous - we get a cold morning or two every winter, but not sub-zero (C) every day for 12 straight days! The pipes have frozen at work the past two days, the crops in the fields surrounding us are frozen with 2" of solid ice on the ground, and the nearest city (Needles, CA) broke the record low of 32°F in 1949. It was 26. Global warming - Bring it on!

then it is likely to get colder still. Solar warmth is energy, energy equates to a more chaotic system. No energy, no storms, no chaos. But storms are cooling engines for nature, so more energy, more attempts at localized cooling, temperatures rise and fall more rapidly. Atmospheric weather is a giant roll of the dice (well, actually not, but the thermal dynamics equations are not fun), global warming just means you roll the dice more often and in more places. :)

We had flowers blooming only two weeks ago, now they are frozen inside ice from the rapid thawing and freezing temperatures.
