OT - This is really begining to suck...
I'm about fed up with winter this year! Here's an excerpt from the local
on-line newspaper... (BTW - January was only marginally better than February). "Syracuse had already broken two cold temperature records this month, and now it's time to add one mo the most days below zero in a calendar year. "This is the 20th time this year that we have dropped below zero, which is an all-time record," the National Weather Service reported. That number might grow with several below-zero days forecast this week, the weather service said. February 2015 will also likely break two other records: coldest month on record and first month in which the temperature never rose above freezing. Records date back to 1902." These statistics are recorded at the airport down in Syracuse. Up here where we live, on any given day we are 5-10 degrees colder than Syracuse, and we certainly get more snow than they do at the airport - usually in the neighborhood of 50% more. It's something when 0 degrees seems "not so bad today", and 20 seems downright warm. You go outside in jeans, a flannel shirt, and a windbreaker. I don't know how many mornings I woke up to -20F without windchill factor, this year - but it sure seems like a lot. I don't pay a bit of attention to windchill - I consider that more of a media hype element than something I really need to care about. And to think - we started off this winter season with a green Christmas... Where is that freakin' Global Warming stuff that I keep hearing about? -- -Mike- |
