38°C / 100°F

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 02-24-2011, 11:45 PM

It's hot and I hate it. Stupid record-breaking summer heat. Stupid record-breaking February heat. Stupid no-rain. >:[

Robotazy · 02-25-2011, 12:27 AM

At least you can look forward to the prospect of rain.

We have heat and mugginess. That's a double whammy of heat.

And that's terrible.

***CaptHayfever*** · 02-25-2011, 12:28 AM

Ugh, yeah. Sorry. Glad that's not happening here.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Ghost Princess · 02-25-2011, 12:48 AM

I'm so sick of the snow. It's snowing RIGHT NOA! If you wanna switch places, I will REALLY enjoy your warm house and yard and you can make snow angels below the east wing deck =D

What do ya say? ^^

Jere · 02-25-2011, 02:54 AM

I can stand the snow, snow is awesome but i don't like that we have had -20C/-4F and blowing around two to ten M/S that makes so the cold gets even colder -26C/-14.8F to -34C/-29F.

That's Freaking cold!

Ghost Princess · 02-25-2011, 03:11 AM

You would totally not like where I live. Last winter, it got down to 12/13c and STAYED there for what felt like well... forever. If you took a drink of water, left some on your lips and stepped outside ... it would get all flaky and frozen pretty fast O.O

Jenocide · 02-25-2011, 03:23 AM

Ugh! 100 sucks. I really hate summer.

I wish it was still cold where I live. Winter is too short here.

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 02-25-2011, 05:42 AM

Tazy, that would be true if all the weather we got didn't come in from over the ocean, and because of that, get completely blown off course and never actually fall on Perth this summer.

We also have the delight of non-raining clouds making it gross and humid. Gah.

Definitely ready to trade, Ghost. You can have the awful stifling heat, and I'll take your toboggan/sledding weather.

**Valigarmander** · 02-25-2011, 07:10 AM

I love the heat.

Want to trade? It's about zero Celsius here.

***Ace Mercury*** · 02-25-2011, 07:19 AM

Zero is fine.

The great thing about cold (versus hot) is that with cold, you can do something about it. More layers. This winter was the first winter I started wearing a scarf. I can see why they're so popular!, they really help keeping warm. You are a furnace anyways, and you constantly burn calories and generating heat. You just need to trap that heat and keep it from running off.

Now what do you do in the summer? There's only so much ice you can immerse yourself in before it gets awkward on the subway train.

Sim Kid · 02-25-2011, 11:14 AM

Trade weather?

Take our snow and sub-zero temperatures. (In Fahrenheit, too.) We don't want it - the landscape companies and plows have to constantly replow the same roads over and over again because it's snowing hard enough to undo the work, the parking lots at school are covered and there are several people taking up several spaces at once cause they can't see the lines, there have been several accidents because the roads are really slippery, the schools still won't turn on the damned heat, the schools are handing out unexcused tardies without thinking that maybe they're late because the school bus was, the public transportation is late, I'm waiting 10 minutes at lights and are getting ready to run them because the car detectors are covered by ice and snow...

Gimme the sunbathing, swimming, and sprinkler weather to the snow - At least when it's summer you don't get that **** clogging the streets.

Weather's a lot less magical when you have to experience it a lot more - most people I find who like snow/heat don't have to deal with it half the year. (We only get really hot days during maybe three months a year.)

***Cosmonautical*** · 02-25-2011, 11:22 AM

You don't go sunbathing in Australia unless you want skin cancer, man. That hole in the ozone layer has decided to sit right above us. You can feel the difference between the sun here and the sun there, in comparable heat.

Plus, there's a watering ban. You can go ahead and setup your sprinkler if you'd like a fine or to upset the whole community, but I wouldn't recommend it. Best thing you can do to cool off is have a swim in the ocean, but that's usually too cold thanks to the antarctic currents. If it's this warm tomorrow, I don't think I'm going to give a damn if the water's freezing, though. I might head for the beach and freeze my nuts off, anyway.

Sim Kid · 02-25-2011, 12:35 PM

I thought we were trading weather, not environments.

Sides that nice cold ocean would be refreshing if it's 100F. If it were warm or hot all year round, I would not be complaining - I'd be relieved to never have to deal with snow again. (Why do you think the old people retired out to those places where it never snowed?)

***Ace Mercury*** · 02-25-2011, 01:41 PM

Don't forget that the Australian seas are filled exclusively with things that kill you. Sharks, jellyfish, swimming knives, there're all there.

We actually have those too - except for swimming knives. Last time I tried to go to the beach in California, it was shut down because a kid got stung by a jellyfish and then a surfer spotted a shark. You guys can at least go any time you want. :<

we don't have any of that stuff out in Colorado because we don't live by the ocean. Instead we get snow that makes a normally 20 minute commute an hour-long-hell and makes you have to dig your car out, chip ice off your windshield so you can see, go 20 km/h because the roads aren't plowed yet....You don't have to worry about that crap when it's hot out. (Or doing callisthenics*sp* at the nice icy bus stop because the buses are late and it's icy cold.)

You know that Snowpocalypse everyone was joking about on Twitter a week ago? We got a whopping 2mm of that - and temperatures that were 30 below.

***Cosmonautical*** · 02-25-2011, 10:03 PM

Yeah, I know about snow, I used to live in Cleveland. Lake effect weather and all that. I can honestly say I prefer snowboarding, sweaters, and shoveling to being too exhausted from heat to bother with the multitude of things I could be doing. :/

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 02-25-2011, 10:21 PM

Constant death-heat is ****. You can't do anything in this weather without feeling like you're going to collapse. You guys have the problem of winter shutting down construction: we have LAWS which send tradesmen home on days it gets over a certain temperature. Even the people I know who love summer are complaining that this is long and hot and crappy and LONG GOOD GOD IT'S THE END OF FEBRUARY AUTUMN IS NEXT WEEK C'MOOOONNNNNN

Ace knows the score. Cold weather, you can do something to help yourself (and if your school is ****ty, then your school is ****ty, and that has nothing to do with the weather). Hot weather, the air conditioning doesn't even work well enough to keep it below 30 indoors. >:[

The title of this topic only just reminds me how crazy Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit was to come up with his confusing scale.

Jere · 02-26-2011, 11:30 AM

I always thought the Celcus scale is a bit more logical, atleast for about 2000 meters above sea level.

Then Kelvin is hard to say it's not logical.

***CaptHayfever*** · 02-26-2011, 12:14 PM

^Kelvin is logical, but not practical for everyday parlance.
