Crazy Weather

I don't know about the rest of our members out there in the world, but down here in Georgia USA
(the they always say down here for some reason) the weather this winter has been totally insane.
Rain - extreme cold nights - excess snow/ice shutting things down. One day we are walking around in short sleeve shirts and by 3:00 in the afternoon the temperature drops down into the 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-7 C) and stays there for days. Warms up then gets cold, nothing is following the norms, it's crazy. Everyone is walking around with head colds. We are breaking records - it just sucks. The whole country is acting strange in terms of the weather. I'm beginning to think mother nature is giving us all a good kick in the back side.

What's it like in the rest of the world?

 

You want 20 degrees.... Are you a masochist for cold 32F = 0C That's below freezing.
NO NO give me the warmth.

 

I've never had the fortune/misfortune to experience snow.

March 1st is the official start of Autumn here. Temperature-wise I can't complain as it hasn't been cold nor hot. But boy, has it been wet!

February brought record rainfall for many outback areas. A friend is stuck in a town called Charleville (780 klms west of Brisbane), flooded in and cooped up in their local pub. Some would say that was a blessing but he's now way behind with his work of district court attandances.

On the up side, my densely treed backyard is lovely and green and shrouded with a soft misty fog.
Makes me want to cry when I think about having to move and leaving it all behind.

Cold in Belgium

Same here in Belgium cold and a lot of snow in February. No snow at the moment, but some floods in some regions. No floods where I reside at the moment. A lot of broken roads and highways, because of the snow in February. Have been in Ireland during the winter lots of rain and a little snow.

Never known a winter this cold, looks like climate change to me.

CP no snow, I would call it fortune. However I may not want to trade it for the dust storms and extreme heat you have over there.

 

I agree with that summer moodiness. Here it is Spring time in Atlanta GA USA and the temps 10 degrees higher than they should be. The road people are getting a tad more rage in them. Can't repeat what the girl call me and my wife as we both were turning left on a triple lane road and she was driving right into my lane beeping her horn. She was on the inside wanting to get to the outside, we were in the middle - no where to go but follow our lane.

 

I've noticed how much less ' lady-like' our younger female drivers have become over the past decade.
Many drive like maniacs and have mouths that would embarrass a dock worker.
