Hi Moz
I see they are saying that your weather conditions are not going to get any better soon, and that in fact they will get worse over the next coming week.
It is truly saddening and breath taking, what this weather has achieved in such a short space of time.
I hope no more people lose their lives to this phenomena, because quite a few have already needlessly lost theirs due to the extreme cold.
The pictures in this news report are incredible to look at
Wow, that is some serious cold Moz
I sincerely hope it gets better before it gets worse, but as you also said, Chicago is geared to deal with this sort of temperature.
Frostbite in 4 minutes is just ludicrous......
Spare a thought for that arch hoaxer Al Gore who predicted the melting of the ice caps etc. How much more EGG can this buffoon take one wonders. He still does the rounds by jet selling his BS.
Fir st it was the coming ice age, then it was global warming. Realizing they hadn't got a clue they say how about climate change - now we cant be wrong. What a bunch of lying agenda driven loons.
I'll never ever forget my first summer in Sydney. I always get folks laughing by telling them that my hair went curly the day we landed and it's remained that way ever since. Coming from temperate Cape Town those early years in Sydney was a rude shock. That summer they had to stop running the trains because the railway lines were bending. Bushfires were everywhere and they were being being fanned by hot winds. Trust our luck to arrive in what turned out to be one of the worst summers in terms of fires. Took us a while to get used to the heat but it's not only the heat it's the humidity that's the killer and if it's fanned by a hot wind then it becomes very uncomfortable. But that said I remember landing in Durban up from Cape Town wearing a jeans and T-shirt, everything was sweet until I stepped out of the airport, their humidity must be on par with what we experience over here in Australia.
My choice between extreme cold or heat is heat. Like Chicago we're geared to handle the conditions, the thing is you can still get about because public transport, the office, your car, clubs and pubs are all air-conditioned and of course there's the beach. Temperatures in the mid-thirties don't bother me one bit, surprisingly over time one becomes accustomed to heat, in a strange way it grows on you, your skin feels for it, just like today we had a max of 22 which feels kind of cool after the run of 40+s of the last few days. When it becomes very uncomfortable is when there's a heatwave of 40+ running for three or four days. The people I feel for are the ones in rural and outback Australia. It's bone dry out there and until you get to see places like the back of Bourke, Nyngan or Brocken Hill it's only then that you begin to feel the extreme effects of heat and humidity. Recently they've had record highs of around 48 degrees and not just over one day, add the humidity and I reckon you've already experienced hell.
All that said what the folks in the midwest and north of America is experiencing is pretty damn awful.
Nothing's changed, trust Koosie to fuckup a healthy debate.
And OBTW the photo you brag about.......for the umpteenth time, it wasn't me you low life fuck, that is a photo of my beloved late brother.
Now Fuckoff!
Get the fuck off my thread Piss Mint
Here I post a thread about people dying from this epic weather phenomena in the USA and all you want to do is come in here, just to ridicule a fellow poster and try and score some stupid brownie points .
Just fuck off, nobody wants you here...… absolutely nobody.
I just happened to come across an old 2013 post...…from you Piss Mint
Wow..... the exact same old and angry little man who is upset with the entire world, because you alone fucked up your own life and your family now suffer the consequences of your own selfish and drug and alcohol induced actions earlier in life....
No wonder you are such a bitter person
