That raises some terrifying questions regarding what canadian maple syrup is actually made of.

I was thinking more along the lines of processed human blood. Y'know, from the humans that got replaced.

Not much to report here. None of the flooding affected me, fortunately.

Last winter I lived near the Canadian border in the US and it got really cold in the winter (-55 degrees F [about -48 C) windchill anyone?). Now I live in the American south and, despite it being January, I have yet to put on a coat. As of right now, it's POSITIVE 36.5 degrees F (2.5 C).

The record low in my home state is -40F. You're not a leopard seal, are you?

Relevant.

Naaah... from what I understand human blood (blood in general, really) doesn't take too well to preservation and whatnot. The processed blood would be used fairly quickly for... whatever reason. Presumably lubricant, given the previous supposition.

... also, I'm really, really wishing I hadn't had that thought, now that I've thought it. My happy place has turned bleak and frozen, and not in a good way.

[Yoink]

It's pretty nice here today. I might even go outside at some point!

Also, Canadians are insane. That is all.

* Yoink shivers at the thought of 2.5 degree weather.

[Frumple]

... 2.5C? That's... still above freezing. It'll be hitting that as a low here in Florida, today (34f, a bit below the 2.5 -- goddamn finally, though the lows'll be back up into the 50s by thursday, at least for a few days). Well, early tomorrow, whatever. Is around 5C (41F) now. Feels good. Feels very good. Heating vent to room is closed, door shut, things helping keep heat out. ~30 degree transition between my room and the rest of the house. Blankets are glorious :3

Now 2.5F, yeah, that's a bit more shiver-thought worthy. Good thirty or so below freezing. Not something I've had the fortune to experience, yet. One day!

The air ends up doing some interesting things when it gets really cold. The humidity drops to 0 at about 10 F but the water is still in the air so the air sparkles. It's not especially bright but it's noticeable if you look for it.

Also, at about 15 F, it gets annoying to breathe outside for a long time because of freezing nose hairs/mucus.

This is a thread for the discussion and appreciation of weather around the world.

And I see this just as things (as I see noted further down the thread) have calmed down around here.  Not that they were locally as bad as neighbouring areas.  A few threats of rain, tomorrow, but only threats.

The nearby river has gone back down by a couple of feet since Frank and its predecessors passed by (I'm not in a current or recent flood-zone, although it is still noticeably swollen from the weather that hit the hills, recently), and I don't anticipate it going back up again, at least not before the weekend.

be sure to make a note if you are using some weird other unit so as to avoid confusion.

Tomorrow's (now today's) top temperature is predicted to be around 145°De, with a night-time minimum closer to 147°De, in case anyone cares.  I'll let you do the conversion.

[TheBiggerFish]

The heck are °De?

[Starver]

The heck are °De?

You know... Delisle.  Water freezes at 150°De and boils at 83⅓°De, as you'd expect...  A perfectly cromulent scale!

(Sometimes just °D, though... Not as much confusion with the single letter as with Rankine, Rømer and Réaumur, where only Rankine generally gets that particular privilege.)

from LA,
ITS RAINING, ITS FINALLY RAINING!
WOOOOOO

FLASH FLOODS, MUD SLIDES, WATERSPOUTS, THUNDER AND LIGHTNING,
and we will still be in a super hella drought after this.

Now Presenting: Snowmageddon 2016: Eastern Snowboard Edition.

I'm seeing projections of anywhere from an inch to a foot of snow here. Which, I presume, means New York will vanish under an onslaught of ice, snow and White Walkers.

[TheBiggerFish]

Heh.
Yeah.
Where are you, anyway?

[Yoink]

At least the bagels won't go stale!

[TheBiggerFish]

I dunno.  I suppose it gets bored.

[Loud Whispers]

I GOT NO RAIN
