Re: How's the weather?

From wikipedia:

VDARE is an American website focusing on opposition to immigration to the United States and is associated with white supremacy,[2][3] white nationalism,[4][5][6] and the alt-right.[7][8][9] Anti-Immigration in the United States: A Historical Encyclopedia describes VDARE as "one of the most prolific anti-immigration media outlets in the United States" and states that it is "broadly concerned with race issues in the United States".[10] Established in 1999, the website's editor is Peter Brimelow, who believes that "whites built American culture" and that "it is at risk from non-whites who would seek to change it".[10]

Y’all can decide what you believe and what you don’t. Be a well informed citizen or a bitter old hillbilly engulfed in hate web sites like vdare, your choice.

If being friendly on this “most friendly forum in the web” means I should just approve posts like tico’s, well, maybe I am just not that friendly then. The silence around the matter I consider silent (duh) approval, and I am disappointed.

Gynocracy, or gynecocracy definitely beats dollarocracy and greedocracy. My country is not perfect, and I disagree with my Government in some matters. Mrs Marin, the Prime Minister is a young woman, grew up rather poor, her father is an alcoholic and her mom divorced and lives with another woman. So what? Our President is a former small-town lawyer, also with working class roots. The beauty of Finland is that it is a true democracy, even a poor kid can get university education and become whatever he/she wants if he/she works hard and has the talent. Money is not in the equation.

Racism is trying to rise its ugly head even here in Finland, we also have some BS web sites that try to spread that [bleep] (can I say ”[bleep]” on this friendly forum? Racism and hate site links are approved, it seems, but how about naughty words?). The rhetorics on the ”good read” site remind me of the rhetorics of the funny little Austrian fellow that nobody took seriously until it was too late. Let us not let things get that bad anymore.

I will now retire from this conversation. Thank you and my apologies. I will wait and see if/how the folks I consider my friends are going to react and draw my conclusions based on them.

In the meanwhile, ”Je suis Elwood”

Oh, the weather. Well who the bleep gives a bleeping bleep about the weather, bleepitybleep.

Well here's another breaking story about Gynocracies gone bad. This one from CNN. (about as racist as the come)

Days getting longer.

Wow! 38 on my porch this AM with strong N wind, heat on 73 still fells cold to me. My hats off to you Northern folks, I am a real puss!

One of the coldest days I have ever spent was in Florida, make that two. Just remembered 12 above in Jacksonville when my '52 Chevy two door with the "stove-bolt" six wouldn't start. But this story is about central Florida just above Tampa with snow flying and cold winds coming in under the sliding glass doors. Even the scorpions' were frozen. Heat pump couldn't keep up with it.

Yes, on the news this morning about the falling Iguanas. Leave them alone, just cold and immobile they will warm up.

crankbndr on Wed Jan 22, 2020 1:40 pm

Don't know what it is about Fla. cold, seems worse. I have been on a mountain in 10 below, bandana over face was frozen from my breath but keep the wind out.
This seems worse. The lizards are not docile, in a boatyard a while back a dozen surrounded me and one attacked my hand and shredded my index finger. Teeth like razors, I would just as soon lop their heads off. Invasive species.

I know, and I'm from New Hampshire. Difference is, houses were built for it and actual heat from coal/wood/oil all that nasty polluting stuff.

We've just had two days of steady rain. Normally unheard of this time of year. I guess it's helping the firefighters here in Victoria but the changeable winds have caused some flair-ups in New South Wales. If all this stuff hasn't been bad enough, they're now telling all those who collect rain water in tanks to flush out their tanks following rain because of the heavy particulates in the air due to the fires and smoke, even well away from the fires where it was really smokey. The middle of summer telling people to empty their water supply? Sure!!

Another consequence of our drought has been dust storms. We woke up this morning to a heavy layer of red mud, having rained out of the sky overnight. This dust is from 100s of KMs away. There were bright orangy red drip lines on the ground around our cars, which all need a thorough rinse off.

I'm not sure what's going to happen about summer. Seems like we've already had it, wheras normally we'd just be comming into the hottest part of the year. I'm not wanting to start a debate about climate change, but something's sure wrong!

crankbndr on Thu Jan 23, 2020 8:32 am

No way my heat would hold a 42 degree spread, once it gets behind it won't catch up. Electric heat no fireplace. 60 this morning with heavy fog at 9:30, winds gone and humidity's back.
Back to flip flops. No more raining lizards.

NEW222 on Wed Feb 12, 2020 5:34 pm

Well, it is going to hit us again tonight this darn cold stream. Hit -45 F here last night and stayed consistantly around -15 to -20 F all day today and is looking like it will also be hitting the -45 F again tonight. Hopefully they are right and will sloooooooly be warming up after that for good. Not much one can do in this weather other than read this forum and do some building..... Hope everybody else is doing alright out there.

TLAnderson on Wed Feb 12, 2020 7:06 pm

I guess we have a heat wave going compared to NEW222. -18F here tonight. Windchill of -50. Cold

Got the wood stove going. Hot

And I'm bellyaching about taking the trash out at 54F. I AM wearing shorts though, so there's that.

Oldenginerod on Thu Feb 13, 2020 1:08 am

Our Summer is still hovering around the high 20s (C) but the worst thing at the moment is that we've had around 80%-90% humidity all week. Feels like we're in the tropics, just no-where near a beach.
At lease the humidity really slows down the wildfires. Glad to see them mostly sorted out. Warm

smooth_bill on Thu Feb 13, 2020 1:03 pm

Hi temp here yesterday was 53F (clear), and the high forecast for today is 44F (cloudy). Low was only 39F, but that isn't bad.

One of the reasons I love the PNW, is the moderate climate! Rarely gets to 100F in mid-summer, and cools off at night to our usual 50F+ so I can super cool the house with a window fan. Great insulation retains the low temps through most of the following day.

andrew on Thu Feb 13, 2020 2:04 pm

Forecast of 6° tonight, 62° high on Monday.

OhBee on Thu Feb 13, 2020 7:52 pm

Currently -8° -26 windchill. Shooting for a low of -18 with -40 windchills!

Oldenginerod on Fri Feb 14, 2020 2:39 am

Still hovering about 30ºC at 7.30pm and we just had around an inch and a half of rain in the past two hours. Roof gutters and drains just couldn't cope with everything overflowing.
Had some serious lightning, with one flash only a split second before the thunder, so I'll be looking out for a local fried tree somewhere nearby. affraid

Not exactly temperature related, but with the high levels of rain in the Mississippi and Ohio River basins, the Corps of Engineers is managing water flows to try to minimize flooding downstream by holding and releasing water in the lakes feeding the Ohio. Currently, the flow rate through KY Dam is 370,000 cfs -- that is a lot of water. Although it's cold, it is sunny here and I plan a walk across the dam and locks this afternoon -- with that high flow, the dam vibrates and hums -- pretty exhilarating.
