THIS. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS

[Lyinginbedmon]

It's been pretty rainy the last few days and overnight in our tents it was a pretty cold, but mostly it's been quite sunny.

Personally I'd welcome some more extreme weather.

It's raining here in northern California.

...

Yeah, yeah, I know. Boo-hoo.

(Hey, I did my 18 years in Sasquatchibean; I'm entitled to a break!)

[Hakaryu]

Its a fucking blizzard here in michigan. yay.

[empath]

*Meh* It's the weather; deal.

What're ya gonna do, change it? Mother Nature's got a helluva lot more aces up her sleeve than we could even imagine.

That's what you think. I'm gonna go drive my hummer in circles while I leave all the lights in my house on, and then go chop down some trees.

Cool, nice of you to be so kind and considerate, to think of easing the snowshovelling chores of your great-grandchildren!

As for right now, I'm sure Mother Nature is looking at your tiny, infantessimal tantrum, and laughing her "I'll take every flood control system you can conceive of and still find a way around it to put a couple inches of water on the land I flooded, bitches." head off...

The Army Corps of Engineers is coolpants, awesome and do some amazing things, but let's face it; they're STILL bush league to 'her'...

Thank you! I'm sure they'll appreciate my horrible sacrifices.

for the record, global climate change is cyclical - by heating the earth up now, you'd simply be drawing the forthcoming ice age ever closer - then think how much shoveling you (or your kids/grandkids) will have to do.

At least then we wouldn't have to worry about running out of water.

(I've been hearing news stories about snowpack depths and reservoirs for weeks now, I swear.)

Thank you - I didn't want to open a can of worms¹, so I'm kinda glad at least one other person thinks like I do.



footnote:

1. Okay, honestly; who cans worms in a manner that'd you have to open the can; maybe UNCOVER a previously opened and emptied can that then had worms put IN it, but still...this is really an odd and illogical expression...more proof that "You English have a silly language! First you chop a tree down, then you chop it [/b]up[/b]?!?"

you take worms, put them in a can and go fishing. If you change bait you open a new can of worms.

just saying.

[zqfmbg]

you take worms, put them in a can and go fishing. If you change bait you open a new can of worms.

But unless you own a cannery, you'll probably have to open the can (and presumably empty the contents) in order to put worms into it. So when you change bait you won't have to open the can since it'll already be opened.

(If you did own a cannery, well, you'd probably have other problems to deal with.)

[Matt]

you cap the can incase they tip over, we're talking about a lid, not a sealed can.

[Interruptor Jones]

And as soon as you re-open that can, they all try to get away. Hence the phrase.

Took me ages to understand 'a stitch in time saves nine'. Makes sense when you have a pair of socks you're particularly fond of.

[Master Gunner]

Also, bait&tackle shops will sometimes sell pre-canned worms, and judging from the cans I've seen, they weren't re-purposed cans either (at least, not by the local store).

[iEatNinjaZ]

Enough show to turn the ground white. not enough to snowboard.

Fuck..

[kkief02]

It's been pretty gorram sunny here, to the point that i now have a sunburn on my shoulders. It's starting to cool down a bit though.

Dude, that's what we have the rest of Europe for. You want heat, you go the Mediterranian. You want snow, you go to Scandinevia. Totally didn't spell those write! I like our temperate weather.

[goat]

It should be mentioned that while there is still some snow on the ground, it's about 20 degrees F warmer now.

Oh the midwest....

[Kara]

For the past four days or so I've been having a lovefest with Victoria's weather. Soooo much sun. I've even been able to get a lil' bit tanned. A very lil' bit...

[ZephCrow]

For the past few days here in Washington it has been in the high 70s and low 80s (Fahrenheit). Last Wednesday it snowed a few inches.

It's supposed to snow again this weekend.

[Master Gunner]

Ok, Who hasn't being buying t-shirts/using space jump?

[masamune]

send some of that cold weather this way please.

[gcninja]

EXACTLY!! We jsut got that yesterday and im like WTF!!!!

[Master Gunner]

Ugh, it's still snowing. Who pissed off the weather gods? March I can deal with, but the middle of fucking April? Anywhere south of 60, major precipitation is supposed to be rain at this point, not 2 feet of snow!

[empath]

Yeah, we're supposed to be getting the edge of that tonight - mix of rain and snow. And in typical Newfoundland fashion, it'll be lingering over the island with snow/rain for the rest of the week.

*shrug* Meh, it's the weather - what're ya gonna do?




Again, I feel this needs repeating:


big


f*cking


deal.

Cry yourself a river, build a bridge and GET OVER IT.

[Dutch guy]

Over here the weather is a little messed up too. 2 days back the weather was a balmy 19 degrees C with a slight breeze. yesterday it was windy and much cooler (About 12 C) and today it's sunny and warm again. What the hell.
