Weather WTF

[garbon]

Heavy rain I am more sympathetic to, where we live the roads can get properly flooded, I once almost stalled in the middle of a small pool formed under  railroad bridge because I felt I just had to risk driving through it.

Of course, a place where that isn't infrequent, should maybe Yale some steps to mitigate it...

1 step forward and 2 steps back with my education.

I feel that with snow and hot summers. They're not guaranteed but they happen reasonably regularly so there should be some degree of preparation.

Speaking to a colleague and her son's school bus has been cancelled all week (no matter what happens to the weather).

Although partly with the hot summers and the really heavy rain/flooding there's clearly a climate change impact when villages with buildings hundreds of years old that haven't been flooded before suddenly multiple times since 2000 etc.

Weather combining with the British instinct to do as little work as possible

Just outside where I used to live in London:



Here, two buses become stuck in snow on Muswell Hill in north London

Country has ground to a halt.

Just how bad are UK drivers in snow?

Near 0 snow basically becomes grease when mixed with dirt and ICE emissions. There is not much one can do other than manage the slide and that takes experience.

You were THAT drunk at the end of year lawyery bash in the swanky uptown hotel, that you wandered into their walk-in freezer and fell asleep?

Mongers, you fall asleep in sub -30c temperatures, you don't wake up again.

And I'm a public servant - our "end of year lawyery bash" was a potluck held in the office.

I'm driving to that for the weekend, kind of. Heading to Minneapolis to see the girl. Temps at home are supposed to be 10 degrees warmer than there. It's supposed to be -6°f at home.  😞

Not quite Edmonton temps but definitely not balmy California temperatures either. BUT THERE WILL BE SNOW!!

To each their own. I'm currently looking forward to what is predicted to now be 80 on Christmas day.
