I agree. I grew up in Southern Illinois and the humidity there is much worse than in Tennessee. I think all the trees in Tennessee suck the excess moisture/humidity out of the air. Really I have no clue.... ;)
Yes, come visit us when yer in the vicinity.
Not gloating, just responding factually to ROCKLOBSTER’s question.
That is absolutely the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen in my life!
Thank you for posting it.
Bwahahahahahah!
It certainly is weird
I hope that you are right it is a mini Ice Age. Based on previous cycles, we are past due for a real “Ice Age” - the kind with mile-high ice over Seattle. (2 miles thick in Chicago iirc).
BTW - we currently are in an “Ice Age” (being the latest geologic time period there is). But - we are in an “inter-glacial period - so in between the big glaciations.
I’ve done the math, and I pray that I’m wrong. Unlike the climate, which is a chaotic dynamical system (100% unpredictable), the solar cycles are very predictable. The sun is cooling down. Al Gore is an idiot.
New Years morning I’ll be running the Atlanta Resolution 5K race (3 miles). It will be in the 20’s. Very cold for Atlanta.
Yes, the last “real Ice Age” nearly killed off humans. We’ll do better next time - maybe a billion of us will survive...
I got up to check on our animals & my shop: NWS says 4 deg. F, with a degree or 2 drop left by 7 am, but they are SE of us — thermometer on my back porch (fairly accurate) says -1 now. That’s about 30 deg. below our normal low. Brrr...!
Biloxi Area - gonna be 4-5 degrees cooler tomorrow and low 20's overnight thru Friday.
That makes perfect sense.
We moved to Tennessee from Palm Springs. I was and remain so bedazzled by the amount of greenery here. It is so beautiful.
And you can buy guns without waiting periods. Instant background checks.
I walked on the beach in shorts and a tee shirt yesterday. Some were in the ocean swimming.
Located a few miles north of West Palm Beach, Fl. I will need a sweat shirt the rest of this week, highs maybe in the 50’s for a few days.
How I miss the cold.....
Current temp in East Tennessee is 14 at 7:17 am EST.
Oral or rectal?
At least there's no wind at the moment, and that's a very good thing.
Happy New Year, fellow FReepers !
I often “miss the cold” in the middle of a 95 degree, 95% humidity Summer down here....
-9 degrees when I got up this morning at 6:00 AM here in York, PA.
