I actually enjoy the weather. -13°C during the day, did some sideways driving in my pimp mobile. Finally the winter has come. |
It's your fault then
I noticed most of CZ was minus double digits.
The trouble is it's quite a shock for most of the UK to get snow that doesn't melt more or less the same day, let alone temperatures several degrees below freezing all day.
It' not unheard of though, but the last serious freeze like this was 1987 or possibly 1991, so a lot of young adults won't have experienced it.
Last time it froze for several days there was a big problem with gas boiler condensation pipes icing up, because normally it's OK to just stick it through a wall. |
It's the Siberian cold air.
As I type this, it's -11°C outside. The real feel temperature at the moment is -25°C (ambient temperature + wind + moisture). I normally walk in my shorts all year long (+jacket when it gets colder), but yesterday I had to wear long pants, as it was a bit too chilly for my likings. At the same time, a friend of mine, who is more ''weather-resistant'' than I am still wears shorts and a t-shirt in this weather. Someone even took his picture when he walked through the city and sent it to the local news site. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

...saying all that, it is coming down a bit now. The buses have stopped and traffic is slowing to a standstill on the main road. Not a day to be out and about even in a 4x4 because even they won't be getting past the cars. ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

I died three times trying to get to work by car before bailing out and creeping home. It's gone full REDTARD ALERT up here now.
But, you know, I heard someone in London felt a snowflake on their tongue SJW cakeboy thread so that's the big issue. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I'd have got in. The issue was I could see cars (nice Merc, mate) already getting stuck on the way out. With three buses behind him... ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Some enterprising junkie was standing outside Tesco today with a bin bag full of bread and offering them at £3 for half a loaf.
I'd have had the profiteer shot. There's a war on, somewhere. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 6 years, 28 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
