BuffaloBill Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Let’s put an end to the polar vortex crap. If the Canucks want to drink beer, ice fish, play hockey and enjoy their cold weather then let them keep it to themselves. 1
Lurker Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Build a dome. An open air country is so old school. (And we could probably sell naming rights to help with the deficit...) 1
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Who needs real winter weather to close the schools down anymore? I’m sitting in metro ATL right now with the sun shining, temps hovering at 40 per my vehicle thermometer, and nary a trace of precipitation after some morning rain showers left on the ground (that I can see at least). Yet, every single school district in this area along with all govt offices, are closed. <sigh>. What a bunch of weenies. 1 2

The HIGH tomorrow is -9, with a low of -22 (before you add in the wind). I’m sure it’s a nuisance, but I’m also sure she’s going about her business. I had an appointment here in Atlanta this morning, which late yesterday was put on hold until we knew if “Snow-mageden” was going to happen. I’m wondering if any of the people who couldn’t go to work today due to the weather crisis are over at the tennis courts??? 1

As long as they are wearing a light windbreaker I think they should be just fine to get a few matches in...its embarrassing, really.

Yeah but even here in Buffalo people are acting nervous as though we are about to come to an end due to some snow and cold. The media does a good job of hyping up these events and I swear people are wusses. It is my understanding that most of the area schools have closed down already. Additionally many Buffalo city services are cancelled. It’s hardly an event here yet.

Co-worker just got back from Florida helping out cleaning up after hurricane (yeah, they are still fixing things)... He brought me back a jacket he swapped for a few work our baseball caps. It's a fleece lined short jacket. The guy down @ Jacksonville District (Corps of Engineers) called it a "parka." You gotta be kidding. That ain't no "parka." Parkas have hoods! It's a freaking spring jacket! Maybe it's the inside layer of parka under the shell.

Exposed flesh becomes frostbiten in just minutes. 1
stuvian Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 I wonder if all these refugees showing up at our border really know what they are getting themselves into. Perhaps they are just lost

My two times they were there in 5 minutes, once at 11pm on Christmas Eve 1
