Polar Vortex 2019 Edition

[Fargo]

January, and indeed the entire winter, of 1996-97 were quite a doozy up in my neck of the woods. Temps routinely 20-30 below and wind chills between 60-90 below. Even the Norwegians (Or “sad vikings” to us Germans) were complaining.

117 Inches of snow, with virtually none of it melting before the big flood in the spring.

What goes good with roasted taters?

What goes good with roasted taters?

Anything.

Everything.

It is the perfect side dish.

I lived in ND in the 80s and early 90s. I'm familiar with what can be dished out in Bismarck/Mandan. Heck, my Dad still lives in Bismarck! I remember one morning walking into the Century High School (which I attended at the same time as Paula Broadwell nee Kranz, future mistress of David Petraeus) from the parking lot only to realize once I got inside that I couldn't blink because tearcicles were propping my eyes open.

good times.

Meh. -20. Here they call that "Tuesday."

Yeah, that's pretty much it. I just did 2 weeks of their cold weather training (in conditions like you guys are having now). Their cold weather gear is very good.

However bad the weather is big media will draw conclusions that it's caused by Americans.

Well, now, you see, simpleton, weather is not the climate. You can't draw conclusions about climate change and global warming from the fact it's cold. In fact, extreme temperatures are a result of man-made climate change.

...but in July, the any temp near a record IS caused by man-made climate change.

I don't wanna brag, but the only thing bigger than my carbon footprint are the tires on my monster truck.

I going with "earth made climate change", those people can go and carp at the planet for not doing what they want.

 

[NKBJ]

Ah ha! Another solar warming denier!

We just got a note that Rays trash won’t be running tomorrow due to the cold. Don’t think I recall that happening here before.

On a related note, Lake County Courts are closed tomorrow and Thursday.
