A Global Warming Weekend
For those who don’t know cold… Or for those who are dumb enough to believe in global warming…
Here is the forecast here where I live for the next three days:
Friday: low -19f, high +3f
Saturday: low -19f, high -3f
Sunday: low -12f, high -1f
Oh, and using the NOAA wind chill index for those days, we’re looking at lows areound -45f.
So I swear, if I hear anybody bitch about global warming or try to tell me that we need to bring down the temperature to save the polar bears, I’m going to make the bastard sit naked out in my back yard for the weekend.

I’m ice fishing this weekend up by Mora, Minnesota. Tomorrow night, -40 below wind chill. I sure hope all that “Global Warming” doesn’t melt the ice I’m on.

“low -19f, high -3f”
That would be low -28C, high -19C for those like me who don’t use Fahrenheit regularly.
What are the normal high and low for your area? Without knowing the norms, that sounds like temps for a common January week for my area.
Here was a bad 2 weeks Sudbury had in Jan 2005 - one of the warmest years on GISS record.
day high low
14 -6.6 -20.4

Coincidentally, my latitude is about the same for Northern Wisconsin.

You should thank God for global warming. Just imagine what the temperature would be without it.

Ha ! I live in Hawaii.
My wife has only been to Vegas and Ca. for a couple weeks in each. During the summer.
Its 65 degrees at midnight, about 75 during the day and shes running around acting like chilly willy wearing a sweater and crying about the cold.
I want to move to Oregan but I’m afraid the winters would kill her.

Oregon isn’t too bad. Since it’s coastal the winters are much more temperate than they are here. I lived in the NW corner of Washington state for 4 years, and the winters weren’t bad at all.
Not like here. Right now, my little weather widget is telling me it is -13 with high wind outside my door. That sucks! And if the global warming liars were actually right, then I would be sitting here in -11 degree weather instead. Either way, they’re full of shit and I’m still freezing my ass off.

So I’m with you all and don’t agree with global warming but these “look how cold it is in my area” arguments are not making you guys look good. If there are any peeps that visit this site that do believe in global warming you’ll need to use better statistics than “point in time” temperatures.
Just a thought.

Spawn, you are correct. This sort of thing accomplishes nothing when it comes to convincing people about the global warming scam… However, it makes me happy to bitch about freezing my butt off up here in the great upper Midwest while the rest of the world is whining about the horrors of global warming
I look forward to the day that I can grow fancy tropical flowers in my landscaping instead of worrying about my water pipes freezing
