The Daily Chit-Chat

I only like snow for the skiing/snowboarding, as far as I'm concerned! XD

GOooooooooooooooooooo 110F/45C weather!

 

[Reina]

I always seem to pop into this thread, say I'm going to stay for a while, and forget by the time I get my second reply... ahem, anyway.

People who want snow, trust me, it's not that great sometimes. Mostly when everything ices over and you're falling on your face every time you walk out of the house. ..but I suppose that's just me. It's great when you get a snow day though, except I only have snow days on the days when you can't even leave the house, which means no hanging out anywhere. I guess that's the point though...

 

[Shiny]

I want to wake up one day and see real snow outside my window.

...one day.

 

[Aizuke]

Damn Australia and it's no snow.

Though I have woken up to snow before, but unfortunately it wasn't enough to build up. It was pretty though and I took pictures and recorded it with my dad's video camera.

 

[.little monster]

We just got another foot of snow last night..

Now there has to be at least two and half feet on the ground. :|

 

[Zet]

Does that mean you get the day off school? And how serious does it need to be to get the day off school from snow?

I'm guessing all they need is one inch to stop the city. XD >.>

10 feet of snow wouldn't stop me.

We have been getting way too much snow this year. So much so that I'm thinking global warming is a lie and the earth is actually freezing over. We've gotten at least four distinct weather events where there has been accumulation of snow and/or ice in a part of the country where we're usually lucky if we get one such storm. Two thus far have resulted in closure of my college.

 

[Caelus]

We've nearly run out of snow days where I live, and there's like about 2 inches of snow here, which is enough for tomorrow to be off.

They say it hasn't snowed this much in my area in 20 years.

 

[Serene Grace]

Wow, it's been a while since I posted here. I used to be a regular here before.

Anyway, it snowed again here last week Thursday, however, it never settled.

 

[Ivysaur]

It snowed here yesterday and today we have had a non-stop storm. But it wasn't so bad to get a free day. We only have had one in 7 snowfalls this year D:

I have to stop leaving my umbrella at home.

 

[donavannj]

We've been getting more snowfall this winter season than we have in recent years, which means at least a temporary return to normalcy. In fact, it's been pretty nice here temperature-wise considering what it has been in recent years and the fact that most of the country is below it's normal average temperatures for this time of year.

Apparently, a second ice age would be the end result of global warming/climate change, according to something I read online last month. Or was that in the local paper?

 

[Ivysaur]

Global Warming is an average measure from all the countries all over the year. A snowfall (or several) in a city during a month doesn't mean the Earth won't increase its average temperature in the end of the year. And, if any, weird weather only proves something is screwed up somewhere.

My point was that global warming/climate change will apparently melt the caps to the point where the North Atlantic currents will just stop circulating properly because there would be too much new and cold water at the northern end to the point where the water would lose it's temperature difference long before reaching the northern end of the current. This lack of circulation would cause a second ice age, apparently. - The details of this are kinda fuzzy because I only saw the article once, and I can't remember where I found it.

 

[Netto Azure]

But even so our current civilization won't live in either extremes.

Ice Age nor Melted Ice Caps. :/

 

[donavannj]

True... sorta. The tropical regions would become temperate regions if there were another ice age, and that might still be habitable. Even if it neither were going to happen, our consumption rates do still need to be cut down.

 

[Netto Azure]

It's like that video game where people were fighting over resources...due to an ice age. XD

 

[donavannj]

Your post for some reason reminded me of the following 4 games: Civilization 4, Age of Empires 2, Starcraft, and Alpha Centauri. Probably because you tend to have to fight to get the resources you want in those games.

That game wouldn't happen to be Battlefield 2142, by any chance...

While we're at it, let's not forget the Command & Conquer franchise.

Only forgot that franchise because I never got hooked into it. I also omitted Empire Earth and Empire Earth II because they were, at best, games deserving of a 8/10, since they came to the RTS party too late to be innovative, and III is only worth an afterthought because it wasn't well designed.
