Global Warming?!?!

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. :)

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

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

it was -5 °F
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'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! :)

Spring has begun in January
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.
