Quote from: Lokmar on January 05, 2025, 11:02:06 PMWe got about 5" of snow here. As usual, the stores empty out when a storm is predicted. Nothing new whatsoever.

I've seen some photos that would put 2020 to shame.

Quote from: Frood on January 05, 2025, 10:40:45 PMI'm seeing reports of panic buying and empty shelves in the Midwest and some parts of the NE, mostly in built up areas.

I went to a Kroger Sunday afternoon mainly to pick up a few things I might run out of if the roads are bad for a few days. It was busier than usual but I was able to get everything I came for and I didn't see any signs of shelves being denuded.

Certainly nowhere near an apocalyptic vibe; the worst part was navigating the crowded parking lot because apparently they'll give any incompetent asshole a driver's license these days.

I don't need to check the forecast to know it will be 33-35 Celcius here. It's hot and sticky 365 days a year.

ALL year? That sucks. I like my break in the Spring and Fall, I HATE Winter. January is one big fucking Monday.

I used to live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Mid November to the first week of April is one big fucking Monday nightmare in that hellhole.

Oh I bet! I'd rather have the weather you having now lol.

Humid 33-35 Celsius is nasty.

Normal Summer here lol. Even as high as 37-40 C (100-105F), plus the humidity can be 100%.

Yeah, nah. I'll keep the dry 40's.

Four above zero (F) in the northwest suburbs of Chicago right now.



Anyone in the warmer climates can bite my ass.

I can't stop tanning down this way and I'm only outside for an hour max each day. So much unwanted browning.

-6.66° Celsius here in Redneckistan however I don't want anyone to bite my ass... too much potential for the saliva to freeze and lock us into a rather embarrassing position. Warm bodies can feel free to go fuck themselves though.

It sucks almost as bad here in the Springfield area. I was down by St. Louis yesterday and it was in the mid 30's. By night, when I got home, it was 8, and -2 this morning. Fuck a buncha climate change dickheads.
