The Natural Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 We've had more of a hot summer in September than July and August in the UK. Roasting this week. British weather for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 Hey, guess who's supposed to fly to South Florida today? Guess we'll see if this stops any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 I'm something a hurricane nerd. Growing up in South Florida will do that to you. When I tell you, I have never ever seen anything like this... Basically Acapulco got blindsided overnight by a Category 5 hurricane named Otis, with sustained winds of 160MPH When I say blindsided I mean, literally 24 hours before landfall, it was a tropical storm and not supposed to get much stronger. Then it hit a small patch of 92F/33C temperature water and it did this: Acapulco has never been hit by anything higher than a Category 2. The initial reports are horrific and will probably have total damage will into the billions. Climate change is fucking real. Heaven help Houston/New Orleans/Tampa/Miami/New York when they face down the barrel of this gun. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Townsend Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I’m fairly annoyed that the trees on our yard lost relatively few leaves in October and instead decided to lose everything all at once when wet, cool weather set in. Amount of leaves this morning in yard looks like more than I cleaned up during the first 29 days of the month. Truthfully, this looks like a job for whatever lawn service I decide to call during lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teflon Turtle Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Last year on Halloween, I was raking leaves in a t-shirt. After that, I longboarded around in costume for over an hour. This year = I have already spent a good deal of my morning shoveling snow. What the hell? Edited October 31, 2023 by Teflon Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 The weather warmed up just enough to start letting this weird bronchitis/shortness of breath bullshit to begin subsiding... And then this cold snap flies in, and I'm back to being out of breath when I fucking talk. Hooray. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Man, it's been cruising along in the 70s for weeks, and today has been like getting thrown in an ice bath. They forecasted flurries (though who knows if they'll show). I only complain because it's Halloween and that FUCKING SUCKS for the kids. So many Halloweens ruined by having to wear a coat over your costume... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I was thinking about going away Xmas week, but saw it’s now supposed to be sunny and in the 50s here.

twiztor Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 On 7/19/2013 at 12:09 PM, Dolfan in NYC said: This Weather Sucks yes. yes it does. currently -5° but "feels like" -20. We got 12+" of snow on Tuesday and another 10+" on Friday. According to the local weather: "Tonight (WIND CHILL WARNING): The wind calms down a little bit down to around 5-15 mph out of the west. This helps with the drifting snow, but also allows temperatures to plummet. Lows are expected to be anywhere from -18 to -23 degrees. Wind chills with just a little bit of wind are around -35 to -45 degrees. Skies are partly cloudy. Bundle up and stay warm tonight!" Tomorrow's high temp is expected to be -2°.

Curt McGirt Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 We got lucky in Central Illinois and missed the big big snow. My buddy in Des Moines got hammered. His job is transporting medical patients. Oofta. It's still negative degrees with wicked low windchill, but that's better than getting buried (I say now, before I have to wear thermals going out to group tomorrow morning).

Mike Campbell Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Southeast New Mexico is under a windchill warning until later on this morning. It's presently 8 degrees outside, with the high temp today being a whopping 38. Just for context, a typical winter temperature down here is still pushing 60.

JLSigman Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 By this weekend part of South Carolina will be flirting with single digit lows. I'll be in the low teens. This will suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) A friend of mine who moved from here to Philly was blabbing about how happy she is to have moved away from midwestern temperatures. I told her global warming doesn't just mean "hot", it means "schizo" and she was gonna get it anyway. How can someone that lives in New England say they don't get low temperatures, anyway? As far as our hotter-climate friends I feel for you. Hopefully your power grids aren't built in the fashion of Texas'. Invest in thermal underwear.

Zimbra Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Our high today is a whopping 3 degrees and we had 25-below wind chill this morning. I genuinely love Wisconsin, but.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 Meanwhile, NYC is getting its first measurable snowfall in almost two years. And because someone got a burr up their ass about my job technically not being a telecommuting eligible one, I'm ... not thrilled. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Apparently, Tesla's cannot work if they're exposed to below freezing temperatures. The batteries need to be kept warm, so they'll drain power heating themselves, and then when they're out of power, they're permanently unable to ever function again. They're no longer batteries, they're basically frozen bricks. Oh, and letting them get frozen is a violation of your warranty, so Elon doesn't have to pay for repair or replacement. You should have left it plugged in all night and all day, and not driven it to work and parked it there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) I shouldn't laugh, but "masterful gambit" indeed. They mentioned the batteries on the news but not that they become totally useless. That's like making a car that when it runs out of gas, the tires just fall off! Side note, our heat went out today. Thankfully the handiman came in record time; they had to order a part that'll be here in a couple days but we can keep it fixed until then.

odessasteps Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Nothing like shoveling out your car and getting to work only to find they canceled night shift while I was in the car. Now presumably working on my scheduled day off to get back my hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Fucking Mid-Atlantic weather, man. It's barely getting above freezing this week. Next Friday? 60 degrees. WT everlovin' F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
