Ms. Murphy and Ms. Healey need to look on the bright side. Polar Bears are dancing with joy, cavorting on solid ice that they aren’t stranded and starving while adrift on pitiful little icebergs anymore.
Is left shark ok?
We might get a sea trout kill here in NC along the shore. It’s happened before.
To this day I do not understand why humans would settle in an area with such a harsh climate. “”
Keeps out the riff-raff.
Some migratory fish are susceptible to rapid water temp changes.
‘77-78 was a hell of a winter. I saw flurries in Miami.
Check out Joe Bastardi on Weather Bell daily videos and his Twitter.
He’s been calling this exact weather event for the past 6 weeks.
As soon as I saw a post that made practical sense I knew it was you.
You’re notorious.
Here in Michigan the ice fishermen fished the sharks to extinction.........
“....To this day I do not understand why humans would settle in an area with such a harsh climate.“
“Keeps out the riff-raff...”
That it does.
As one 80+ year old sea-faring Mainer from Cutler, Maine told me one day when I asked him about the harsh climate in the winter as he and his crew were unloading a catch of lobster: “Let me tell ya a little something, Sonny. It’s like this: There ain’t no poisonous snakes here, and there ain’t no baggy-ass pants around the ankles types in these parts....just too damn cold for both and that’s the way we like it. IF ya can’t stand the winters here, you sure as hell don’t deserve the summers. Now, move along now....unless ya want to buy some of these here fine Maine lobsters....” He said it all in a deep eastern Maine accent. I busted out laughing my ass off and ended up buying a couple of those “fine lobsters” off him....talk about delicious.
If one’s going to be notorious, that seems a fairly good quality to overemphasize.
Just curious if any Freepers affected by the cold have electric cars, and if so, how are they faring in the extreme cold? Batteries typically don’t do well in extreme cold, and was curious if anyone can comment on how their Tesla, Volt, or other car is handling the cold.
Oh 24? Shit.
Oh ok. 2024 should be back around. Still... Global warming my butt.
Apes always do the wrong thing. Every single time. Another ice age and another annihilation of ape civilization. The more things change, the more they stay the same. At least we got to the moon this run.
Targeted Cooling programs were not needed. Eating the forbidden fruit made the ice age return inevitable.
Used to hunt in the Southern Tier of NY - in the hills outside Angelica - joked with the ladies that we would spend one evening in Angelica to see the dancing girls - little bar had a pool table, slide bowling machine and a jukebox....loved traipsing through the hills - sometimes in snowmobile suits for reliable warmth.
Been in S. MS since stationed here in '86 and the hot humid Summers can seem as bad as a NY Winter - always a trade-off as to which season you prefer to enjoy - loved Spring-Summer-Fall up North and they combine into an extended Summer down here.
I used to keep a snowmobile outfit on the passenger floor of my car during the Winter - right under the heater vents “just in case”. Never been above 70 mph o a snow machine and in cold weather it was plenty....
