We Could Talk About The Weather

I've been wearing shorts all day long lately.

It started off quite cold here around Thanksgiving.and continued on into december. Then a couple weeks ago it got warm and I was even running the air conditioner. Then it got cold again. Now it's about 9 deg F outside with complete white out conditions. You can't see an inch in front of you and snow is piling up fast in the face of extremely heavy wind gusts causing huge drifts. Friend of mine in Brooklyn called earlier. It is even more severe there. Already 2-3 feet of snow and piling up blocking doorways with cross winds in excess of 90.

Yay! 22º now with a high predicted of 38º!
Next Tuesday the high is supposed to be 30º with a low of 19º!
Not stoked.

Yeah were going to have cold like we have not seen since 1994. I remember it well to.. had to wait for a damn school bus for 20mins in -36F with a 30MPH N.NW wind.

12 degrees C above 0 and sunny, though a next storm comes from the UK with gusts up to 80 miles per hour, heavy rain and thunderstorm, the 6th in 7 weeks....
All europe boasting too hot temps, even up in the north lapland sweden etc record high temps for this time of the year.
Long range forecasts keep it like this to the end of the month....

"Friend of mine in Brooklyn called earlier. It is even more severe there. Already 2-3 feet of snow and piling up blocking doorways with cross winds in excess of 90."

Brooklyn is a notoriously tough borough, but it's the wind driven drifts that piled up that deep and the wind didn't reach 90mph gusts. The weather services said differently, somebody is exaggerating. Here the day after with the wind calmed down and snow tapering off we got a few inches with mild drifts. The plows are out as are a few brave souls, I'm hibernating in my bear cave with no plans to forage for food for the time being with temperatures cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.

Get your minds out of the gutter, a brass monkey was the rack that held cannonballs on a British Man O' War. Iron and brass have different temperature coefficients, so the iron shrank more than the brass and the balls fell out. That's the best time to attack, when the sailors are running around chasing their balls. (Maybe I should take my own advice?)
