I mean, I'm really doubtful when this is what used be considered a normal winter.
A normal winter started in October, maybe mid November, not early January. This was my first brown christmas, and that worries me.
More fibre and less Christmas pudding.
Dunno where you are, but i'm high desert. Brown christmas and a january ass kicking is pretty standard, admittedly seemingly more common when i was younger. . Even half of canada gets a brown christmas every ten years or so, pretty much on this pattern.
Smack in the middle of Canada, winters colder than Alaska, summers nearly as warm as Hawai'i. We already get very little rain, and like the rest of the Great Plains, we're on track to being a desert (temperate in our case). We already lost most of our topsoil in the dirty 30s, and there's plenty of sand just below in the glacial till.
I'd rather that not happen.
I run a bar in SW Saskatchewan. Do I know you? Tompkins Hotel. You sound like a Frontier dirt farmer bragging
Nah, just your average citiot, though I know a few who worked in PA.
Record temperatures are not the norm.
These aren't records, fuck off. "OMG MINUS 38 WINDCHILL MINUS 52" It used to be 50 on a calm day these areas, mid january, dead calm. There's a sensationalist aspect occurring over what people old enough recognize as normal weather.
