Title: What have you done with our summer???
Post by: Bricktop on December 08, 2021, 08:26:57 PM
It's December.



Summer down under.



So, where the sun and warmth? Have you northern hemisphere lackeys kept it for yourselves?



We're FREEZING here. People walking around in jackets and jumpers. It's like you Canucks strolling about in July in shorts, T short and sunblock.



Give our sun back, you greedy bastards.

Could this be caused by earth's axis change and I always thought gas emission is supposed to make the earth warmer as they claim.  ac_umm

Just cycles that last longer than modern sensors in the sea and formally placed ones near areas that have now become built up heat sinks.



My great great and great grandfathers kept meticulous records as farmers going back to the later part of the 1800's. Weather has always been nuts, and our families originally fled extreme weather in the early 1800's. Starvation level weather...

Both sides of the family trace back all over Europe... probably beyond.



One side left an Irish island in the mid 1800's (product of bizarre genealogy) and the other side I wouldn't necessarily say left anywhere but just spread out over 1000 years or more everywhere from Europe into the New World, as did the Irish contingent.



The genetic markers were expansive and unexpected...



Then I married a free settler offspring from Australia.



She's mostly Irish and English in genealogy but no location that my genes have been near for 300-400 years.... at least.



My lil sister went to university to study history and got hooked into genealogy before she changed her major. She was able to parse back a few hundred years or more through digital records and in house visits at courthouses and the like, along with extensive DNA tests, to piece together everything we've always been told and what we weren't told.



My biological grandfather was a POW in the Philippines in WW2.... at the same time, the grandfather I knew that was ready to deploy as a Bomber pilot was stopped because the war was ended.



My great grandfather rode calvary in WW1, but he never mentioned it.



I had relatives who rode wagons for supplies in New York State for the resistance during the revolutionary war. I had rellies who died at Gettysburg. I had relatives that were part of the French Canadian fur trade and their offspring got denied access to the US and had to sneak in as illegals. I've got Jewish blood too... a 50+ year old farmer in Bavaria that married a teenage widower.



I've got the charts, thanks to my sister, that we were descended by a third born (therefore utterly worthless) daughter in the British crown who had to flee.



...and a notable historical scientist I won't mention.

Holy smokes!  That is quite a lot of accomplishments by your ancestors, and a insanely long lineage with history.  It looks like most of your grand ancestors were soldiers that fought in quite a number of wars.  While my family barely know what is before my great great grandparents, most of us were just rural folks to commoners, the most I know is my great grandpa from my dad's side once built a school with the money he earned during his life as a government official while his son(my grandpa) was wealthy enough be addicted and live off of opium, and that's all there is too it, lol.

There was no spring, when temperatures could get into the mid 30's most years. But now we're in summer.



And I've only been in the pool ONCE since April.

Most rainfall in Tel Aviv falls in the winter. Is it like that where you are in Australia?

Post by: Bricktop on December 11, 2021, 12:07:33 AM
Yes. Most summers are dry, like the desert we live near. We can go 6 months between October and April with very little rain.



Winter can be cool and wet...as low as 9C (rare) but usually around 16C. However, most days are sunny except for really wet weather patterns.



We are a very dry country, like Israel.
Title: Re: What have you done with our summer???
Post by: Frood on December 11, 2021, 12:14:40 AM
Our lows here are around 0 and hover a couple degrees on either side at night during the winter. Highs of 5-11c...



Rains and hails all of the time. It hasn't let up for months for more than 1-2 days at a go.



20c currently but will get to 7-8c later tonight. It should be 30c plus this time of year.
