90 degree weather during the first week of April along the eastern seaboard of the United States basically points to the fact that we're a primate doomed by our own success.

Yes sweety, but I live in Africa. In the part of South Africa where I live (most southern tip) our climite is considered similar to that of the Mediterranean. So obviously I'm not as used to the cold as you are.

Stupid weather is stupid. It's winter, but the sun shines bright while there are freezing cold winds. It's basically 0-3 degrees each night and in the morning. Basically winter is dressing up as summer, but can't completely pull it off!

A friend on another forum posted this. She lives in Arizona, and her air conditioner just broke. After reading about her woes, I will never complain about Florida's weather again.

However, I thought this was really funny and thought I'd share it.

New Resident of Arizona --

May 30th - Now this is a state that knows how to live! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. Mountains and deserts blended together. What a place! Watched the sunset from a park lying on a blanket. It was beautiful. I've finally found my home I love it here.

June 14th - Really heating up. Got to 100° today. Not a problem. Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun every day like this. I'm turning into a real sun worshiper.

June 30th - Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today. Lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here.

July 10th - The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least it's a dry heat. Getting used to it is taking longer than I expected.

July 15th - Fell asleep by the pool. (Got 3rd° burns over 60% of my body.) Missed two days of work, what a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though: got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.

July 20th - I missed Tabby (our cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By the time I got out to the hot car for lunch, Tabby had swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and exploded all over $2,000 worth of leather upholstery. I told the kids she ran away. The car now smells like Kibbles and sh--. No more pets in this heat!

July 25th - Dry heat, my butt. Hot is hot!! The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and AC repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts.

July 30th - Been sleeping outside by the pool for three nights now. $1,100 in house payments and we can't even go inside. Why did I ever come here?

Aug 4th - 115°. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to about 90°. Stupid repairman peed in my pool. I hate this state.

Aug 8th - If another wise one cracks, "Hot enough for you today?", I'm going to tear his throat out. Darn heat. By the time I get to work the radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like roasted Garfield!!

Aug 10th -The weather report might as well be a recording: Hot and Sunny. It's been too hot for two months and now the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this barren desert?? Water rationing has been in effect all summer, so $1,700 worth of cactus just dried up and blew into the pool. Even a cactus can't live in this heat.

Aug 14th - Welcome to Hell!!! Temperature got to 123° today. Forgot to crack
the window and blew the windshield out of the Lincoln. The installer came to fix it and said, "Hot enough for you today?" My wife had to spend the $1,100 house payment to bail me out of jail.

Aug 30th - Worst day of the summer. I'm not leaving the house. The monsoon rains finally came and all they did was to make it muggier. The Lincoln is now floating somewhere in Mexico with it's new $500 windshield.

That does it, we're moving to Seattle for some peace and quiet.

That's both funny and dreadful! My sympathies for your friend.
On the other side of zero: I've just returned from a visit to the Yukon. My uncle, who has lived there for 22 years, has known the coldest temperature in his area as 138.2 Farenheit (-59 Celsius). But it has been known to get a great deal colder there.

Cold and rainy? Actually, I do like rain--so long as I don't have any plans to do yard work or I have to go out for some reason. And I don't like thundering and lightening--mainly because I can't do anything electronic if I don't want to kill it. And I don't know what it is--but the minute you can't do something, that is when you want to do it. I have plenty of interests that don't require a computer or TV, but the minute it lightenings....

Is it really dangerous to be on the computer during a lightning storm?

I actually love the power and majesty of a thunder storm. It scares my mother that I want to be out in the rain and wind and lightning.

Is it really dangerous to be on the computer during a lightning storm?It certainly is to the computer: I know a few people who have had their computers fried during thunderstorms. I have not heard of anyone coming to harm due to a lightning strike while on the computer, but I'm quite sure it could happen. Thus far I know only one person who has been hit by lightning, but he was at 10000 feet in a glider inside a Cumulonimbus cloud at the time, which makes it rather less surprising.

Thanks, Claes. Would it be bad for the computer to be plugged in, but not turned on? I'm a complete technical ignoramus.

SilentMute
07-27-2010, 08:15 AM
I think it is dangerous if the computer is on...though I suppose if the socket got damage, it could at least damage the plug. The main problem with us is that we have brown outs during storms, and that isn't too healthy for a computer.

It may depend on where you live on how dangerous the weather is. Lightening does touch down frequently here. In fact, there is spot in the road in between my house and a neighbor's where the lightening frequently hits. We do have several cases a year of people getting struck by lightening.

For myself, I was scared from the thought of "singing in the rain" by all the tales of tales I heard growing up about how lightening just loves to smote fair-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian children...particularly girls.

I'd never heard the term "brown out" for a power failure.

Well... okay. How strange is that? But my mother generally keeps me indoors during storms, or I would be striding the fields (no moors here) like Lokessnna.

Just make sure you have it plugged into a power strip with a surge protector built in rather than straight into the wall. The only time I had a bad surge, it melted the strip, but all my electronics were fine.

SilentMute
07-28-2010, 04:15 PM
Brown outs aren't power failures exactly. It is a power hiccup. It doesn't go off totally, but it dims or fluctuates. That can actually be worse for electronics sometimes than it going off totally.

The wind has not been kind this fall. I live on a tree-loaded street, and when there's a heavy wind blowing mostly south to north (especially with a lean toward east), most of the leaves end up by me. I've now filled 20 bags this season thanks to a few especially windy periods, and the last couple of days have left another load waiting for me to buy more bags. Only plus: Sandy's winds blew north to south, so the folks down the block got those.

In the South East of England we have had masses of rain and recently some terrific winds but we are relatively fortunate weather wise compared to other parts of the country where flooding has been a major preoccupation this year. Temperature wise it's not too bad at the moment but the population, including myself, has switched to wearing black which is traditionally associated with Winter and seems to automatically happen round about mid November. It never occurred to me before but I wonder if other parts of the UK also wear dark clothing during the wintertime.

Gilliatt Gurgle

Unfortunately, it's dry and wonderful here, point being, we recently went through a drought that is one for the history books (summer of 2011) and so far the only significant amount of rain we received was this past spring. Typically October and November are wet months for us, but not this year.
I worry about the trees even though they are tolerant native species, I am seeing the signs of stress.

Maybe December will prove to be a wetter month.

We're two days away from summer but had a freak storm come through yesterday. Winds were in excess of 125km. Trees, roofs and fences came down and approx 50,000 people are without power. Amazing Mother Nature. This morning, she's still blowing a gale and lashing rain like it was the middle of winter. While the rest of the country is jumping into their swimming pools, I'm digging out my winter woolies! Freaky.

This thread made me think of the weather forecast when they come out with warning signs like:

DANGER: SNOW
or
DANCER: ICE
and so I wondered is the weather dangerous or is it the people that are?

The answer to the OP:
''how is the weather''
appropriately might be:
''the weather is dangerous''. :smilewinkgrin:

We are quite lucky with regard to snow down here as the South East, although not immune , does manage to avoid the worst of it. But the rain and constant grey skies week in and out are immensely depressing. That's why I tend to hibernate in winter by sleeping as long as possible. If I were rich enough I would have houses in different parts of the world and follow the sun with the intention of never spending a single day under cloudy skies. That's why I could never understand why very wealthy people stay here.
Why be miserable when you could be contented?

Yes I said the same thing this morning in the staff room with my back pressed against the radiator. I would be off for five month of the year at least. It just seems to have been the longest winter this one.

It is a noble attitude Cacian and probably better than moaning, however last week I took my new bike out for a ride and was absolutely freezing. I had two pairs of gloves on and four layers including two coats and couldn't feel my hands. That's not fun. Tomorrow's snow means that I'm walked to work again and walking back, no doubt dodging snowballs each way. It's supposed to be spring. This time last year it was 20 degrees, this week has been down to -5 at times. We are coming up to about 6 months solid of grey skies, rain, snow, ice, cold etc, etc and I'm just really sick of it. I forgot what the sun looks like.

One of the reasons why it seems so long is because, apart from about 3 weeks, we didn't get any sun last summer and suffered the wettest one on record.
If people don't get enough sunshine in the summer months it lays them low for the rest of the year.

Haha Neely I know what you mean. Still it makes me think about how our wild life must take it and I am guessing very badly. They are pushed out of their natural way and that is worrying. We humans adapt but animals such as birds and sea life because of their immigration season get extremely muddled up which affects their breeding their natural habitat and also their survival. There is something not quite right yes but whilst we continue to cope nature may not.
I hope it for the best for our natural instinct to let the weather works its way forward and us moving forward with it too.

I've just spent the last two hours asleep on and off, laid on the bed. I blame work and the weather. I am usually tired come Friday but not usually as bad as this. I'm sure I am adverse to the central heating, I don't think it is in my head. It hurts my eyes and zaps my energy. Mrs Neely has the thing on permanently. I keep turning it off when she is not looking and she turns it on when I'm not looking. She's out at work now so I have turned it off. Log fires just cannot be beaten.

What's annoying is that 'the experts' said because we had such a crap summer, we would have a 'mild' winter. Got that one wrong, as they did the glorious summer which is annually predicted in this country and never appears.

Another day tomorrow with heavy snow predictions - another day sat in the house wasted.

My word. She has the heating on all the time? It gives me headaches. I only turn on for about 1/2 hour at the most. And it's off again.
I don't respond to central heating very well it makes feel very ill.

LOL that is exactly what I do with mr cacian. In the middle of winter I have to have a window open in the house. I air the house on a daily basis come rain or slate. It is healthy so I have all the windows opened in the morning to let the air circulate and then 1/2 hour late I shut them.
Thebathroom window is on and off opened and closed.

It is snow snow snow outside today. The birds seem distressed but not too much I hope. The roads outside my window are getting their coating of white.
It's truly winter all over again.

And where do you live?

Today it has been about -10 (in Poland). However it hasn`t been so cold.

It's 37(F) here right now, which is a blessing. It's not even snowing! I just hope it keeps warming up.

Anything below 90º is ice cold to me, but considering my parents come from the two most arid and sweltering continents on the planet, I am not surprised.

I'm just going outside and I may be some time.

Mick? Are you there, Mick?

He's been gone a long time - do you think we should send out those dogs with the brandy barrels round their neck? They're having a rough time of it up north.

Mick? Are you there?

No offence to the old lad but it is better that I not venture out in the stuff to look for him, he wouldn't want to give me the trouble. I'm sure he's taking shelter from the 'feels like -6 with wind chill' in some sheltered nook somewhere anyway, I'm sure he'll be fine. Now excuse me while I throw another log on the fire and make myself yet another cup of tea.

That's not a short-legged collie, Nelly has discovered the cattle grid.

I can't really complain compared to your winters. I know quite a few Polish people here as my job involves ESOL, English and Maths classes - they just laugh when we moan about our winters.

Great picture.

My dog loves the snow. He's a jack Russell, and I kick up the snow for him to leap and bite. he loves it. I try to get him running through the deeper bits - not as deep as up your way - to wear him out a bit.

You're dog looks like it's having fun, Prendrelmick.

Gah, after a glorious week of sunny 70 degree weather, we got a nasty cold front, temps in the 30's at night again and low 50's by day. Very windy. Yes, I realize it's not really bad weather, but I thought it was gonna be spring and now we're stuck with this all week. :( Boo hiss, mother nature, that's all I can say.

Very relieved to know you (and dog) are OK, Mick.

We're fine, though I want to point out that's a grimace NOT a smile.



I would also like to thank my late Uncle Dennis who passed on that Dannimac car coat. I think they designed them before cars had heaters, or windshields...... or roofs.

I’ve just caught some of the local news showing some of the terrible conditions we’ve been suffering with lately in the UK, especially up north and parts of Scotland and Wales. Anyway, they did a ‘science bit’ on why the weather is so bad, as they do, and one ‘expert’ says that this other ‘expert’ ‘thinks’ that it ‘could’ be a result of climate change, generated by green house gases released some 20 or 30 years ago. Based upon this assumption(?) extreme weather will only get worst in the near future. I’m sorry, but the only thing I can conclude from this latest novella is that none of these so called experts seem to be able to agree with one another on what time of day it is, and I’m now absolutely convinced that none of them have got a bloody clue about anything.

I feel sorry for the animals and birds that have to suffer this evil weather. The whole business of 'seasonal' weather seems to be going out of the window. This time last year I was taking breakfast in the garden in shorts and T-shirt. The forecast is for the evil to last for the rest of the week and into Easter, meanwhile Willie Windsor and his wife are sunning themselves in the Caribbean. You can't blame them though; only an idiot would stay here if he didn't have to.

Is a beautiful, sunny, 80 degree day out there today. It's much appreciated after a spring storm dumped almost 20 inches of snow on us a couple weeks ago and we've been dealing with temps in the 20's and 30's ever since. :p

The weather is wonderful! Monsoon rains have started here and it rains almost every day.
