Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Yet another Nor'Easter here today. Thanks Baastan and NYC. We are right on the Atlantic (literally) and right here it is hovering right around freezing. Mixed precipiation now and ice pellets soon. Switching over to heavy rain as temp rises a bit. The wind is going to be the biggest issue - gusts to 100km (65mph). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you find a good way. If you were up in the Northeast (depending on where again), I was gonna suggest some alternatives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 It was chilly for my Saturday breakfast ride this morning, got up to the mid-60s, but it's already dropped ten degrees and we'll be down in the teens overnight, and for the next few nights.

I grew up in the Depew/Lancaster area....most family lives near there (Depew, Lancaster, Cheektowaga, W. Seneca). When we moved back to the area we decided to buy a house up near Lewiston/Youngstown just north of Niagara Falls. Lots of pluses and minues of anywhere you live, but as of now we only have a dusting of snow and it was mostly cloudy today but the sun peaked out a bit earlier. A small part of me misses being part of the heavier snow..but every time we get behind the wheel of a car...not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Vancouver Island. Nanaimo, -15 with about 1 inch of snow. Not complaining at least theres no shovelling. Last March 12th I was in Buffalo for the Bruins game. Damn that wind coming off the lake cut to the bone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this one is catching anyone by surprise. So far, so good. https://www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/dashboards The biggest concern is freezing pipes; my house sits on an unheated crawl space. We did okay in the Big Freeze. The secret is keep the water moving in the pipes: Drip the faucets, run the dishwasher and washing machine at night. Worked last time. It's down to 27°F; the predicted low overnight is 15°F. These homes just aren't built for that, especially the plumbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Our last house had electric heat. This one has gas; I prefer that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Tomorrow will probably be the worst day of the cold snap- freezing rain and ice. There's a big difference between snow and ice. North Texas probably gets more ice than snow. Several years ago we had 4" of ice on the road Travel was ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickshaw Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 -23c (-6 F) today in Kelowna. Cold snap for about a week. With the wind it’s more like -33c 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Train Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Will clear snow later, North if Buffalo. Band shifting south towards stadium. Then shifting back north tonight and Monday. 3 days of staying home. Nothing compared to last year's storm. No power outages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Kelowna we had catastrophic fires this summer and we’re still in drought conditions this winter. We have had only a few cm of snowsonfar and this our first cold snap. We are in serious trouble this summer as they’re predicting this pattern goes on for a year or two. BC is gonna burn and we will be the Smokanagan most likely. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do agree humans have pumped up the insulating factor of the atmosphere, there are many factors that play in to global weather, starting with the Milankovitch Cycle. Then there is the what is called in some circles the 3 EAE's, which refers to the Thailand, Chile and Japan earthquakes all on the Pacific Plates that have changed a few things, Pacific Ocean Currents, Shape of the planet by 3 degrees creating the harshest wobble affect recorded to date and the increased rate of seduction, especially following the Japan earthquake. Fascinating stuff to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunomatic Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 (edited) CO2 in the atmosphere is at 0.04%. Humans contribute somewhere in the vicinity about 1-3% of that. I’m not denying climate change. The climate has changed always over the course of this planet. With and without human activity. What I do know about climate change is that its a wonderful opportunity for a small percentage of humans and most gov’ts to capitalize on and make boatloads of money. All they need is for humans to buy in. This is where the disinformation and fear plays a big role. We can all do better personally to make the planet a better place. Hoping for honesty out of politicians and scientists who’s money dries up if they don’t tow the line and sow the fear is a fools game. Just my two cents.
