While We Wait: Part 3

[North King]

@Luckymoose, I wish we had some snow to go along with our dry 16 degree high today . At least it would nice out and maybe even a snow day. I hate really cold days without snow. Maybe, those Canadians should keep their artic air on their side of the border or at least coordinate it with pacific moisture better *looks at Iggy*.

Hahahahahaha. 16 degrees. Cold.

Its 16 in India and people are dying. Its really rather patethic.

People come to my house and I have the fan on full blast, and they sit their shivering in jackets begging me to turn it off....but I never do. I figure eventually one of them will drop dead sooner or later. I'm trying to see how long it'll take.

 

[Demetrias]

Silver are you talking 16 degrees celsius or Farenheit? Because I am pretty sure everyone else is talking Farenheit which is pretty cold but 16 degrees Celsius is only chilly.

 

[North King]

16 Fahrenheit isn't cold, either.

The weather on the radio was sunny. The guy is saying "expect a huge warm up from yesterday to 27 degrees"

I am talking fahrenheit. Usually, it does not get this cold. It has been unusally cold lately but I will live. At least snow is in the forecast so it is not dry and cold which drives me nuts... If there is no snow but is sunny how can it be 16 degrees!

It's called a "cold air mass" and they are quite common on this planet.

Also, your location is "Colorado"; how is 16 F uncommonly low? I was just there over winter break (flew in to Denver, drove to Fraser, skied) and that was about as warm as I remember it getting.

 

[Luckymoose]

The other night with the freezing rain we had 2 degrees Fahrenheit. It was nippy but I like it cold. I left my AC on so I could bring more cold air in.

I'll just stare at you all and feel superior.

The Yukon's colder, I'll grant you, but we definitely get more snow.

 

[das]

We get more snow still, though I doubt that there's any chance we're colder than Yukon, most of the times. You might want to compare it with Magadan or Tiksi or something.

 

[North King]

We get more snow still,

I'm not entirely certain about that, mostly because I haven't found snowfall statistics on Yekaterinburg.

Yekaterinburg does have something of a lake nearby, and I believe they get a bit extra precipitation from the Ural Mountain rain shadow, but IIRC the Great Lakes system is one of if not the biggest snow makers in the world.

EDIT: According to the Weather Channel's website, most of the major Upper Peninsula cities get on average about 7 to 8 inches more precipitation per year than Yekaterinburg. That doesn't say anything about just snowfall (and it is extremely wet "up there" in the summer too), though.

 

[North King]

True enough, I suppose.

 

[Disenfrancised]

Ah all you guys and your interesting weather, I get no snow and no sun

I'm sure you'd get tired of shoveling the snow after a while.

 

[Luckymoose]

I'm sure you'd get tired of shoveling the snow after a while.

I'd get tired of the clouds myself.

 

[North King]

I'd get tired of the clouds myself.

We have that here, too.

I actually should not have said unusual more like rare. It happens very little during the year. I will have to check our averages for January. The thing is our weather is alters quite a bit. Before the 16 degree high it was 50 degrees. I am just complaining just too cold!

 

[Luckymoose]

Lets place bets on what day we're going to die on.
