    Norway’s coldest November in living memory[^] It makes -13 C here in Luxembourg sound almost tropical!

    "It is a remarkable fact that despite the worldwide expenditure of perhaps US$50 billion since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists worldwide, no human climate signal has yet been detected that is distinct from natural variation." Bob Carter, Research Professor of Geology, James Cook University, Townsville

      WhooHoo!!! We're actually warmer than someone... We were the 2nd coldest place on the planet next to some place in Antarctica a couple weeks ago. Today we're likely to break the freezing mark again as it was only -9 overnight... Still not worth washing the car, though...

      I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

              Clearly, you've never tried to drive during rush hour here when there's ice on the roads. :) Granted, it doesn't happen often, but it's an exciting event.

                      Dude, I grew up in Texas. Summer in Atlanta doesn't even move the needle. Wait, maybe that's why I'm not in Texas anymore. Well, that, and waiting for the statues of limitation to expire on a couple of youthful incidents...

                        I've been in Atlanta at this time of year. I found it hilarious how the locals would get all bundled up wearing jackets and such on days when the temp got up to "only" 13-14 celsius. Granted, we still wore long pants, but only because we were working in the Coke head offices at the time, but we loved the fact that we could wear T-Shirts in the dead of "winter".

                        I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

                                  Gods. Cold - Try Korea in Winter (-35F wind chill factor included) with no winter closes and someone trying (hard) to kill you. However Terror does tend to keep one warm.

                                    For most people, the concept of 'average' doesn't pose any particular intellectual difficulty. It does seem to be well over the head of this particular moron, though, doesn't it?

                                      Isnt Georgia more humid than Texas though? In the south France 105 is (was a few years ago) fairly comon in summer, but it was a dry heat and in the shade not unbearable.

                                          For most people, the concept of 'average' doesn't pose any particular intellectual difficulty. It does seem to be well over the head of this particular moron, though, doesn't it?
