i mean it's the beginning of feburary and winter is basically over where i'm at.
actual "winter" seems to last about 2-3 weeks.
shit's about to get scary i'm really worried about massive crop failures. get to know your neighbors and learn how to do some (at least) minimal gardening.
Yea we used to average 180" of snow in a winter and it would regularly be below zero for a week straight.
We used to ice fish over 100 feet of water on lakes the shallow bays didn't ice over once this year.
We got like 2 inches of snow the day before Christmas and it's supposed to be 47 next week.
I almost kind of understand the impotent rage liberals feel when they try to get us to vote for Biden because it's how I've felt trying to get anybody (particularly those previously mentioned liberals) to give a shit about this for the last 15 years.
And the best I've gotten was them lecturing me that Biden is the most environmental president everr as he authorizes literally previously unconcieved levels of fossil fuel extraction, and every chud in town scoffing at global warming anytime it snows more than 2 inches.
Losing winter makes me want to cry.
i wish it were global freezing because I would rather freeze to death in a snowpiercer hell than sweat to death in endless humidity
At least there's the romanticism of big coats and huddling together for warmth in snowpiercer cold world. Instead we get to lay face down naked sweating ourselves to death in the shade until the wet bulb point takes us
yeah you can always add more layers but you can't take off your skin
Yeah. We're at about 45% of average snowpack for this year where I am.
Yea, where I am we've gotten almost no snow and aside from a week of -40 it's been hovering right around freezing, so everything just gets nice and icy. I love walking when it's snowing so I made a conscious decision to go for a walk when it was snowing because I don't know when I'll get the chance again. It's February and I can't see any snow aside from a few patches clinging to the north sides of buildings.
Summer is going to be an unprecedented fire season that makes last year look like a backyard campfire. That cold snap without a nice think snow layer is bound to have killed a bunch of trees and the dry, hot summer is going to turn entire forests into kindling.
I'm hoping the one coldsnap where I live is enough to knock back the pine beetles for a bit. Having 100 degree temperature changes over the course of maybe 2 weeks does not make me feel good.
