Clear weather is colder during the winter. ;) -21C here with clear skies atm.

Oh the hype in the media about this weather "disaster" and how catastrophic it all is.

Memory of man does not hold for long, it seems.

It is a winter like it was considered normal in my childhood and early teen years. Yes, we have had 20 cm of snow past weekened, and another 20 cm is heading our way, North-West of Germany, close to the dutch border. Lowest night temperature we have had here was around -17°C. Big deal.

In Germany, 2009 has nevertheless been the third warmest year in history, with unusually much precipitation, and globally the past decade has been the warmest decade since at least 200,000 years.

Oh indeed, what we have here is nothing compared to what we had back in Kent during the late '80s, there's a picture in a photo album somewhere of me aged about four or five standing on our cleared garden pathway with the snow higher than me (well over a meter)!

Yeh, same here. Got a pic of me and my big brother taken propably in 90-91 where there's this HUGE pile of snow on our yard (Huge as in 4-5 meters tall and twice as wide :doh:).

As I said before (many times, I might add), I admit I do not know. If you know, fine. Certainty in issues outside of my area of expertise is not my forte.


27 degrees here, and likely to stay below freezing all day.

I remember the 80'ies and 90'ies well too, and specifically in the 80'ies we always had snow during the winter. I don't have photos around, they are at my parents house, but we had lots of snow to play with: snowmen, caves, snowball fights etc. The reason many freak out about it, is probably because we haven't really seen much snow in the last decade during the winters. But I love it, it's like a reminder of my childhood.

Fahrenheit, right? So, that's -2.778 C then

Just cold enough so that your igloo doesn't melt... :03:

:haha: Yeah, but that's pretty cold for down here in the tropics.

Lowest its been here is -4.9c (23.2f) :ping:

Let is snow, let is snow let is snow. :O:

Do you mean it? --> Let it snow, let it snow let it snow.
:03:

I don't know what I mean. This morning driving through the snow to a CAT scan appointment were iodine is injected into the bloodstream, my head has not been right since I left. :doh:

Iodine eh? Now you're radiation-proof. You can go and monkey around in Three Mile Island or something. :yeah:

I remember when I had my first cardiac stress test. I did not realize that the radioactive dye stays in your body for a while.... until I set off the radiation alarms in my facility. DOH!

After my second test, I made sure I had that little card. :oops:

-14 in the north east overnight :o
