70 degrees.

Yeah, so it's Atlanta. But trust me, that is NOT seasonal or normal in any way. Thank God that global warming shit was proven to be a bunch of malarkey by those good White House approved scienticians. This abnormal weather can only be because Jesus is cross with us.

 

[Saturnman]

This won't affect the Coca Cola factories, will it?

 

[DarienA]

1. It was 70 in Hampton, VA over the weekend.
2. Global warming is a myth perpetrated by the man.

 

[Outlaw Pro Mod]

Shirley you're not that dumb.

 

[Brannon]

And I hated every degree of that 70. I love cold weather like you wouldn't believe, so this shit is really pissing me off. I WANT ICE WINDS.

 

[Triumph]

Me too Brannon. I just got over being sick, and I know the inevitable switch back to colder temperatures is going to plunge me back into sickness.

 

[Jdw40223]

When we get horrendous blizzards, when historically we shouldn't, can we say that there's global freezing?!?

 

[Desperado]

Yeah in Houston, Mid-70's for the next week basically minus one day. Fuck.

 

[Phoenix]

Global warming would have nothing to do with a 70 degree temperature in Atlanta. Global warming is a unfortunate misnomer.

 

[fennec fox]

Yeah in Houston, Mid-70's for the next week basically minus one day. Fuck.

　That's on the high end of normal, though, isn't it?

 

[Meier]

yeah it was hot as hell today in Tallahassee.

 

[Lonestar]

it was like 70-75 here in Columbus. I don't like cold weather much, but it was just way too warm for January :/

 

[Triumph]

Ok, admittedly I don't know the textbook definition of "global warming". But could any of you guys give me an explanation as to why the hell it seems winters last shorter, summers last longer, and it gets hotter every year? Is mankind at fault for fucking up the biosphere? I'm pretty sure that's the case and am going to throw this at Jesus' buddy at 1600 Penn. Ave until I have proof otherwise, just because I feel like being irrational and hating our idiot manchild President/Emperor.

 

[Loki]

73-76 degrees is the PERFECT temperature. Add some sun and a light breeze and you have nirvana.

scienticians

Is that like a scientist mixed with a statistician?

 

[Triumph]

It's them what put book learnin' over our good Lord's teachins. Even though our good Lord's teachins come in a book. Hold on, I'm gonna try and logically resolve that one in mah head.

 

[Error Macro]

It was 38 degrees here during the day in Southern California. Yes, you read that right.

 

[Desperado]

Highs should be in the low 60's this time of year.

Argh, and to think it snowed a week and a half ago.

 

[Incognito]

loki, 73-76 is perfect when the humidity and dewpoint are hovering around 20 percent. however, here in texas, those two bitches are an equal to the temperature. so it's a fucking goddamn suana instead of nice, sunny and dry. and i don't know if the humidity is as bad in houston and atlanta as it is here, but i don't have any doubts that it isn't.

also, i haven't seen the sun in like two weeks. nothing but low overcasts. i hate this weather. where is my winter?

The biosphere goes through many changes and will continue to do so, regardless of what happens on earth. To us, 100 years is a lifetime... to Earth 100 years, is childish. Our planet is four and half billion years old. There has been life on this planet for nearly that long. Three point eight billion years. The only thing that has survived is Earth itself. So to answer the question is mankind at fault? are we causing a global warming... HELL NO!!

Silly. Just silly.

 

[Triumph]

Heh. You wanna talk humidity? Before air conditioning was invented, the only thing people did in Atlanta from about May through August was sit around and plan on how to kill each other because of the fucking swamp they lived in.

But Jesus told me that the earth is only like 6,000 something years old. Personally.

Yeah, true. NY doesn't get oppressively humid until around the first or second week of July, but when it comes, it's like 90+% humidity for the next 5-6 weeks. April and early May is great in NY, usually around 75 degrees with 20-30% humidity.

 

[Desperado]

Why does the Weather Channel give different forecasts than weather.com? TWC says fucking 80 for Sat/Sun/Mon...

Jesus wasn't a scientist, he was a carpenter!

1) It just seems that way
2) Weather patterns do change from year to year. Always has and always will.

Yeah you'd be insanely irrational to blame Bush because we've been dumping stuff into the atmosphere since the industrial revolution.

Perhaps you're thinking about New Orleans.

Just incase anyone was wondering about the US being above normal:

Minus indicates below normal, positive indicates above.

Blue states win!

LMAO! A sauna @ 75? Please. That would be considered cold where I'm from. Unfortunetly I'm freezing my ass off right now.

 

[Error Macro]

We're going to get rained the fuck out here in California over the weekend. It's been raining pretty good all day today, and I hear that Sunday is going to pour down from the heavens on us. 10 inches in 3 days, not bad. I LOVE THE RAIN. I need to move someplace where it rains most of the year.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

California kind of sucked when I was there for Christmas. Two+ straight weeks of rain? Screw that, what happened to the Bay Area weather I used to know and love?

 

[Mermandala]

The one year i lived in Oakland was 1997-1998. 119 days of rain. Moving to California, even NoCal, expected more sunny less runny. The real killer was that the weather itself was so soul-soakingly bland. drippy grey drizzly bullshit - I NEED Thunderstorms - Danger Rain!

 

[mattiewheels]

This Georgia weather is creeping me out too. Usually it's unbearable this time of year, and today I felt hot cause I was wearing a long-sleeve shirt.

Its not creeping me out I hope it stays close to this all year long.

 

[Drozmight]

It's -2 C here atm.

 

[Lyte Edge]

I haven't even worn a jacket in like a week now. But I'm not complaining...let Atlanta stay this way; it feels great outside.

 

[aoi tsuki]

It was almost 70 in NC yesterday. It'll hit 70 and maybe pass that within the next week.It really sucks because shortly after that, it'll abruptly be back in the 50s, if that.

 

[MASB]

I just hope it doesn't abruptly turn cold again, because a lot of trees, etc. are starting to budding out/blooming and that would kill them, maybe hurt them for the 'real' spring.
