Is that really a video of hail? as if hail is a big deal? Why isn't that moron getting his motorcycle undercover? If that was my baby I'd be out protecting it with my body.

The weather is like the economy, it sucks.

"If that's the case, then I think Canadians will forget soon what a bummer of a summer it is and maybe it will be the hummer of a summer."


And after the hummer of a summer it will be a cummer of summer. Just helping throw some more blow job references into the article.

Here in Vancouver (new window)we're looking forward to yet another sunny and warm weekend. Link PNSFW, definitely NSFL.


Ditto for Seattle, best summer in years. But don't tell anyone.

Bored Horde: motobvious: 95% of scientists in the fourteenth century agreed that the earth was flat.

That's false

motobvious: 95% of scientists in 1970 believed there was no water on the moon.

Apollo 11 brought back soil samples in 1969


Oh, I'm sorry. What did they find in the soil samples that persuaded them against their pre-conception of a waterless moon?

Correct me. What was the percentage of flat-earthers among the scientific community in the 1300s?

really you could just read the wikipedia article. If that's all it takes to prove you wrong no one should have to cite anything.

This is the best summer yet where I am. So far we've barely had any humidity at all and I can actually be outside without feeling like I'm standing in a giant oven wearing a sopping wet wool sweater.



/hoping it's like this for the rest of the season.

 
JibMac [TotalFark] 2009-07-14 02:11:37 PM  
I dunno, I'm liking the weather so far this summer. I don't have to get up at 8am to mow the lawn before it gets to hot.

I haven't had to water the lawn once yet this summer and the flowers and veggies are doing great.

Golfing has been very nice and the courses are all in great shape.

/Hamilton, ON as well
//Should have closed the basement windows last night, was a tad chilly this morning.

Just remember you're taking EVERYTHING from today until September 30th. No returns and if we get anything over 80, we're suing.

Oh. So if it's CO2 emissions that caused the GLOBAL WARMING in the 20th century, what is it that's causing GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE in the 21st century?

It's farking cows isn't it? No, I don't mean butane. I mean people literally farking the cows. Is it the post-coital-man-on-cow emissions? Tell me the truth; I can take it.

NYC came about .25" short of hitting an all-time record for Rainfall in the month of June. We had something like 24 of 30 days with rain conditions.

Its mid-july now, and has yet to hit above the mid-80s. weather.com says the highest it will get in the next 10 days is 84. This coming weekend, it wont even get out of the 70s.

My garden is liking it, but places like Coney Island and other seasonal locations are hurting, with business off by as much as 80%. People just dont feel the need to get out this summer.

Crappy-ass wx in Maine, too. Rain, more rain, and more rain. We've barely hit 80 (maybe twice; most days it struggles to get to the low/mid 70s.

solyhhit: It was great in Winnipeg last year. This year isn't too bad just a little more rain than usual.

On the minus side, WINNIPEG.

/Winnipeg


Like hell it was. July and August was BRUTAL. It's been damn near tolerable this year, and while everyone was biatching about it being too cold in May/June I was loving it.

Then again I don't like anything warmer than 23 C since it's so damn humid here.

Every time I hear on the radio "It's a beautiful 30 degrees outside" I want to punch the dj in the throat.

Cooper420 /Love's when people outside of Ontario hate on a city that they think believes it's the capital of the country, yet they've probably never been.....

I go there a lot. IMO, Torontonians do not beleive they are the center of the country; they think they are the country... even the ones who moved there from the ROC ! it's a peculiar thing to observe.

To those complaining about women dressing for the unseasonable weather: you should come to Montreal. Despite the cold(ish), wet conditions there are still enough women who dress like it's the middle of summer to make it worth your while...

 
Boberto 2009-07-14 02:34:53 PM  
Hiro's Protagonist: If you live in Canada and are complaining about the cold, move to Osoyoos. It's in BC and part of the same desert system as Vegas.

Had a cousin working as GM of a/the golf course there. Scorpions, scorching heat, blazing sun, sand everywhere... it's like Vegas without the fun (and less herpes).

 
LemSkroob 2009-07-14 02:35:35 PM  
Oh, and i can't wait for the Utility companies to send out their letters about rates going up:



"Dear host sir/madam,


Due to setting the yearly budget for 2009 back in 1987, we did not accurately predict the lack of demand for electricity in Summer 2009 due to nobody using air conditioning. to alleviate the resulting shortfall from revenue, we need to close the budget gap by raising your rates.

Thank you for paying more and using less.

Sincerly,

parasite Con Edison"

It seems the phraseology of the 90's ie: 'Global Warming' was a bit too limiting to really encompass all of the possibilities of the ways that we (homo-sapiens) could fark with the climate.

By resorting to the phrase 'Global Climate Change', all possible outcomes are covered and there will be no embarassing 'cooling periods' to try to explain away.

The only thing that could really go wrong is if the climate was in perfect stasis, and when and if that happens, we'll all know we are farked anyway.

teens up to mid 20's are just fine. Camping on the weekend the temp spiked into the 30's with a good humidex for Saturday, in betweend thunder showers.

Enough rain so i don't have to deal with the green desert and the temps mean i don't have to run the A/C. Comsumption is Waaay down this year.
