Damn global warming!

Re: Reasons to hate cold weather
 

Don't hate it. Embrace it.

I love bundling up and sitting outside in the winter with a good cigar as long as it isnt much below zero. Last Saturday night 1am, my son in law and I sat out on his enclosed but unheated porch, 3 below, smoking for an hour, then went for a short walk while we finished off our smokes.
Very cold, but the brandy helped. ��

When did you come take a pic of my car? :r

Re: Reasons to hate cold weather
 

I'd love to embrace it, my two hands firmly embracing it's evil neck. ;)

Global warming is the modern boogieman. Had a bad day at work? Global warming! Get pulled over for speeding? Global warming!

But don't you know that there have been warmer times in our recent history? Blah blah blah CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!! Global warming!!!!

One volcano eruption puts more CO2 into the atmosphere than all the major cities of the world COMBINED! Don't you think..............AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! SHUT UP GLOBAL WARMING CAUSES ALL OUR PROBLEMS!!!!

Surface temps cannot be measured accurately without full cooperation from all world governments to get such data would cost billions to do, not to mention that a long terms study would have to be done for at least 100 years costing billions every single year and the latest satellites tell us that atmospheric temps are actually down indicating a cooling period and that is the cheapest and most accurate way to measure temps globally.......AL GORE GLOBAL WARMING AL GORE GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My FIL is a man of few words, but he sums up my feelings toward winter beautifully in this frame:

Though I will admit, it does offer a few benefits:

And it does make it easier to sell my wife on trips such as this:

And another thing, we only just emerged from the "Mini Ice-Age" in the 1830's, or so. Wouldn't one expect to get warmer when emerging from an ice-age? Oh yeah! If we are getting warmer, then warmer than what? In what year was our climate theoretically correct? They tell us that our climate is "abnormal" (my word); was there a time, a year that it was "normal"? If not, then there isn't any normal at all and thus there cannot be any abnormal. :tf
Note that they call it climate change, now. Like it's gonna do anything else.

Since last night and still holding strong today, we have ice everywhere! Everything is covered in ice with a nice powdering of snow and sleet. Low 20s tonight so it's going nowhere. This is the edge of America and we don't suppose to have things like this. I bet half my folks call out tomorrow because daycares and schools are still closed. I am playing golf Sat and Mon though, suppose to be in the mid-60s both days. Can't freaking wait!

Know what you mean about the ice. Trying to get down my front steps has been an epic artic adventure the past three days. I've salted them, but temps are so low it just freezes back every night.

That's an awesome picture, Jeff. I bet when he said have my daughter home at 11 p.m., you did it.

Re: Reasons to hate cold weather
 

Hate to tell you, but those plants are likely going to be dead, if they're not already.

Re: Reasons to hate cold weather
 

Another dumping of ice - all my employees are scattered to the four winds. Winter sucks.

BTW - Plants made it through, Ron.

Re: Reasons to hate cold weather
 

Why hate the cold? You certainly can't change it, it's a natural part of the world we live in, so why not find reasons to enjoy it.

Re: Reasons to hate cold weather
 

UGH! Had a cold front come through last night with some nasty weather. Now it's *GULP* 68F! We might get "cold" tonight! :D

Re: Reasons to hate cold weather
 

I heard it'll be in the 40s, might have to turn on the heater tonight

Re: Reasons to hate cold weather
 

My parents in central SC have been without power for over 30 hours now. An inch of ice. Nothing to like about this.

Re: Reasons to hate cold weather
 

I hate getting in a cold car the most so I bought one with remote start. It's the best option for me. The car before had electric seats and I didn't like them as I thought I would. :dr
