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

Its been a very mild summer here so far. It rained a lot over xmas but the last couple of weeks have been a lovely 25 to 28, sunshine and very little humidity. Other parts of Oz are not so lucky with Melbourne having lots of 35+ days and some terrible bush fires are burning down there.

With Cold the body burns more energy to keep warm, with warm, the body stores more energy for the colder nights. If you never have colder nights... you store a lot. ;) Cold is Good, Warm is Bad. ;P All things in life depend on your perspective. :) there is good in everything. Balance is good... :)

Ah, your body would adjust to that. Like I said, as long as you're near to water (pool, lake, ocean) and have plenty of drinks, you're fine. Oh, and sunblock. :-O

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.

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
I think you have a unique situation there, Ed. :)

Try that when your in Mojave and its 130 outside. Nah, I'd much rather have the cold than the heat. In the cold you can heat yourself with blankets. In the heat you can only remove so much.

Well, apples to oranges, Chris. :) If you're comparing Mojave, I'll compare Antarctica. But we're talking Minnesota vs Hawaii, so I'll stick with warm Hawaii over cold Minneso-cold any day. :)

Well, I'd take this 15 degree weather in the Pacific Northwest to the 100 degree weather I had in california any day. I don't do so well in the heat.

Maybe for this site, but not around this area, just got to get on and finish restoring my Landy (not as awesome as the Nemesis, don't have the money), but a nice and basic Series III. Only electrics are for the lights and to start it, lights not needed and I'm thinking of simplifying the starting method (just one big red button labeled "You know you want to...").

Slate, proper stuff too, walls are made out of rock (not stone) I've lost count of the number of drills that we've managed to melt trying to put up pictures. An off-topic story is we had a neighbour digging a trench with his JCB for some pipework under the yard for the business, all was going well when suddenly his bucket (backhoe) split in half. He'd hit a stone with the consistency of cast-iron, try and pull through it (as he was) and no chance, ripped the bucket apart. Dad hit it with a sledge hammer and the thing shattered into a million pieces.
I have no idea what I just said. But my intentions were sincere.

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. :)

You like Italy-cold, which is very different from Minnesota-cold.

Heheh, precisely. Or as we say up here, "Minne-so-cold".

I thought the lowest temp the other day was -10 (for the metro area); that's what the idiots on K102 said. Funny didn't feel that cold to me, and I work nights.

I knew I packed up the Short's and T-Shirts to early. :)
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

Heheh. You know, when I took my lunch break today I walked out to my car, and the difference was so amazing, that with the sun, I thought I could easily wear a T-shirt in this weather. Compared to the below-zero temps the other day, this stuff feels great! :)

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

No flowers but my brother's started seeing a fraction of the trees and shrubs in my parents woods start budding. Some sort of identified parasitic vine in the woods was farthest along. Unfortunately the $(*&@ weed's probably a lot more resilient than the shrubs it's overrunning.
