Title: The Heart of Winter
Post by: redsniper on January 20, 2004, 08:07:41 pm: So it's the middle of January, the Heart of Winter (for us normal northern hemisphere people anyway) and here in Texas where the weather's crazier than Interplay's public relations department it is currently a bone chilling 50°F :rolleyes:
So, uh, how's winter for all you other people, who have exotic stuff like... i don't know... snow?

Yeah, but in the Uk (or at least up 'ere in Scotland) "T-shirt and sweater" is anything above 10 degrees.

That sounds just like Eastern Texas weather. It's either hot, sunny, and humid, or cool, rainy, and even MORE humid. :P

Post by: Fineus on January 23, 2004, 08:24:14 pm: Grrr ;)

British weather has taken a turn for the worse lately, it's raining now (suprise) and the next weeks forcast is temps up to -5 degrees and snow. Great.

That said, its perfectly possible to go out without a top on (at least in the south) during the height of summer. So I guess the weather isn't all bad.

Title: The Heart of Winter
Post by: TheVirtu on January 23, 2004, 10:03:59 pm: Meh what global warming, its FREAKING FREEZING!

Tonight they're calling for 1-4 inches of the white stuff, tomorrow some snow showers, and sunday a winter storm is moving into the area and giving us "significant" amounts of snow and ice.

WHAT GLOBAL WARMING?
Title: The Heart of Winter
Post by: aldo_14 on January 24, 2004, 07:29:02 am: Global warming just means that the icecaps will melt, chilling the gulfstream and lowering the termperature of the Uk to about, ooh, Russian or Scandinavian levels.
