What meteorological phenomenon (phenomena) affects you this day ? - Page 430

phenomshel · 12-13-2010, 04:16 PM

COLD!!!! 12 degrees Fahrenheit, supposed to be down to -8 tonight. But clear and beautifully sunny (which is why it's so darn cold). The wind at least has died down here, so the snow we got is staying put instead of blowing around blinding us. But as far as I can see, the roads are solid sheets of ice (even salting doesn't work when it's so cold), so getting to work will be an adventure.

As soon as it gets too warm (Thursday 30°C = 86°F), I will let some go for others to share. But you have to get past montsnmags first!

Cloudy and breezy and a little bit

Let go of the warm air now and nobody gets hurt!
Don't make me call up the heffalumps & woozles!

SneakySnake · 12-13-2010, 06:29 PM

*letting go of hot air* aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I don't need it to be too warm anyway. I am guessing it will reach you in around 5 months.

Be sure to give me a ring when I should be expecting it to arrive!

[Marc crests Noosa's headland, appropriately called Hell's Gates. He's dressed in full crimson, gold and billowing black satin regalia and armour afforded to he who is High Gibbonate. On his back, over his shoulders, screaming and wailing and baring foot-long incisors, the invisible and inadvertently violent gibbon known as Adrian waves his bone-rending arms and skull-crushing fists in the air like he just don't care whose bag of meat comes within his perimeter. Behind, lined to the horizon of the earth and the event horizon of this continuum, are the minions that make up the universe's dark matter, the Pirate Ninja Squirrels, emanating a dull but genital-shaking roar of restrained threat, armed to nut-biting teeth with weaponry powered by and projecting all the dark matter of the universe. The High Gibbonate inhales, the multiverse contorts into necessary surreality to enable his lungs to take in the entire climate of this tiny Earth for a full half-spin around its yellow nuclear ember of a sun, and the stars come out and ears bleed and the void between falls leaden on everyone's souls, and with the sound of a galaxy slowly exploding the High Gibbonate declares...]

You can have it when we're good and ready. Give it about 6 months... 7, tops.

[And surreality drains back to normality, and the High Gibbonate decides that it'd be a nice, warmish day to grab a towel and go for a swim at the beach, maybe read a book, watch the peoples and be a little bit bitchy and shallow]

I love summer.

Cheers,
Marc

[wiping bits of ineffable universal dark matter from glasses]

Jeeshh .... if that's the response to heffalumps & woozles, what's in store for when I call in the Borg cube to assimilate the multiverse and turn the ninja squirrels into furry drones with mechanoid tails?

Those tiny, square blocks of cultish cliqueishness? The High Gibbonate quotes from the The Big Book of Dark and says, "The Gods do not play the Universe with dice".

Marc

And the shivering chickens reply: "Global warming! We were promised global warming! Why do we have icicles on our glasses?"

SneakySnake · 12-13-2010, 08:55 PM

Don't worry little chickens!
A decent vulcan eructation will ensure that global warming sinks under the glaciers of the next mini ice age. I wonder if his lord 'The High Gibbonate ' would be so spiteful as to stimulate a little hot liquid movement in the world's nether regions.

BTW A lovely ride to the gym and back (body balance class there) in tights and singlet, quick dip in the pool to cool off. aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!
Making tabouleh salad for lunch (no lemons must use limes instead).

I love summer.

I call foul!!!! Torture, that's what it is, pure and simple!! Y'all are enjoying tantalizing the rest of us who are freezing our you-know-what's off with your tales of treadlie rides and swims and singlets and salads. *pout*.

If I tried riding a bike on this ice, I'd wipe out before I ever got my feet on the pedals. Either that or the tires would freeze to the ground. There's no water that isn't frozen solid, and exposed skin will suffer frostbite in a matter of minutes in these temperatures. I almost fell three times just getting from my car into the store (our parking lot is doing an amazing imitation of an ice skating rink).

64F here today Shel.

Latinandgreek · 12-14-2010, 07:03 AM

Sunny but chilly (2 C).

bjones6416 · 12-14-2010, 07:54 AM

14F (-10C) here this morning. Good grief.

On the plus side, it's supposed to be sunny and less windy today.
