For today:
I’ll always remember my first winter in Chicago, when one of the Chicago TV channels sent reporters out to interview the “man on the street” for their opinion.
TV reporter: “What do you think of this weather?”
Crusty old fart Chicagoan: “Is this a slow news day or somethin’? It’s December in Chicago, fer chrissakes.”
We’re on a French toast alert in the northeast. I guess the milk, bread and eggs lobby wants to get in on the Black Friday boost in sales.
Yup, am 100 MI east of Shitcago, yesterday’s high was 30F, just a light sweatshirt needed while shoveling powdered water and at that, only 10 inches fell since Saturday….
Then people wonder why folks that live in the northern climes appear to be a tad tougher and more rational (except if D adherents) than others. 😉
Hit 39° C here today. Yep, first day of summer. So what??
The Orlando pic has me howling, because I’m visiting my parents in (a different part of) Florida for Thanksgiving. It was “only” in the mid-60s early last week, and the locals were all bundled up in winter clothes and apologizing for how “cold” it was!
I haven’t seen the mid-60s since late September (fall came late to my AO), so I’m walking around in shorts and a tee shirt. The wimps down here wouldn’t last an hour in REAL cold!
Since we can’t post actual memes here, we’ll have to engage in a little theater of the mind as though we were on Insty. (Pundit, not Gram.)
FLORIDIANS IN A CAT 5 HURRICANE:
[pic of Leonidas in “300” snarling “Come and take them!” to the Persians]
FLORIDIANS IN WEATHER BELOW 60 DEGREES:
[pic of King Arthur in “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” screaming “Run away!” to his knights as their Trojan Rabbit is catapulted back at them by the French]
And yes, I post that meme regularly when the circumstances arise. Usually in the OT.
And remember kids, it’s all caused by Global Warming caused by you driving a car and heating your house in winter!
SE Georgia has gotten down to below 50. I had to put a fire in the fireplace. I moved here for a reason.
