Re: Beaner's and Rattie's Weather Porn Thread
I read that the polar vortex was actually a direct result of climate change. I don't know the specifics, but it caused the cold air that normally circles the Arctic to dip down and catch a ride in the jet stream.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Feb 2019, 9:53am*cough* climate change *cough* don't count on it *cough* Chaotic weather is the new normal.WestwayKid wrote: ↑26 Feb 2019, 9:20amWe got hit by the polar vortex a couple of weeks ago.

Yet the meatheads will still say that winter is supposed to be cold and that this is nothing to worry about.WestwayKid wrote: ↑26 Feb 2019, 10:08amI read that the polar vortex was actually a direct result of climate change.

Makes sense to me.
I actually heard a few meatheads talk about how global warming didn't exist because it was so cold outside. I figured it wasn't worth engaging them in discussion about it.

Seriously. If it's above freezing in February, my jacket is open, I'm not wearing gloves, and things seem pretty damned good.

You know what's in the low-40's right now? THE ATLANTIC FUCKING OCEAN. Which is why it feels like 9 degrees with that relentless wind.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Feb 2019, 9:41pmSeriously. If it's above freezing in February, my jacket is open, I'm not wearing gloves, and things seem pretty damned good.

Yeah, it has to be really cold and I have to be outside for a sustained period of time to zip up my jacket.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Feb 2019, 9:41pmSeriously. If it's above freezing in February, my jacket is open, I'm not wearing gloves, and things seem pretty damned good.

The wind has been diabolical the last couple days. Somehow it's, like, -15C but feels like Neptune.Rat Patrol wrote: ↑26 Feb 2019, 9:44pmYou know what's in the low-40's right now?

I gotta say, my visit to New Mexico was pretty nice. It was the dead of winter and was like 30 at night and 50 during the day.

So, I read that yesterday was the windiest day in a quarter century in this town—43 kph. And me without a kite.
