It's colder in Alabama than in Reykjavik and parts of Alaska.

[Elwood P Dowd]

I checked my thermometer this afternoon, and it was 39 degrees. Looked at a weather site and noticed Reykjavik, the most northern capital in Europe, was 46 degrees. Hell, it would be more fun over there playing in the Blue Lagoon and drinking a strong beer than this crap we have in Alabama.

Earth to George: There is some strange shit going on with the weather. You might want check it out.

1. When I was growing up in the Shoals

winters there were always miserable. The wet wind whipping off the river cut like razor blades. I remember standing on the banks of the Tennessee at Waterloo to see Halley's Comet one New Year's and freezing my ass off. Brutal cold!

2. Halley's Comet?

You must be as old as me.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

4. That was 1986

I'm either as old or as young as you, maybe. After all, it's all perspective.

I'll soon be 43.

8. Hell, my mind must be going

For some reason I was thinking that was in the 50s. There was one that we watched with our cheap Sears telescope back then, but I can't remeber the name. Or, was it the 60s? It's hell when you start approaching 60.

3. O cry me a river

:eyes: It's 9 degrees here now. Got up to 12 for the high.

5. It is supposed to get to 8 below zero tonight and I saw a bunch of

fools camping out on the sidewalk in front of Best Buy to get X-Boxes.

Brrrrrr!

[GrpCaptMandrake]

6. Yeah, but some of it is the relative response

to the temperature. People in brutal winter country are used to it. My sis in Mobile gets a dose of 32 degrees and is absolutely miserable.

7. 7 and dropping in northern illinois

i`ll take the 39 degrees

[MnFats]

9. 6 degrees F here now. Plunge below zero here tonight too.

this already sucks, but we're going to have this shit for about four months....better get used to it...

10. I know this is crazy but I think the Poles are shifting like Cayce

predicted...

[Stuckinthebush]

11. Amen Elwood!

I was just saying to my wife today that we never get this kind of weather in December! Birmingham was 28 on Friday morning.

28 degrees! That's just stupid!

:D

12. It's 34 right now in Anchorage...

We are in the midst of December's second heatwave this year.
