Is winter over yet?
Ocean_Islands | Sunday, January 07, 2001 - 06:05 pm  It has come to my attention, through the efforts of a group of myriad meteorologists who have been working around the clock on my behalf, that November and December were the coldest ever recorded in North America since record keeping began. Unbeknowst to them, a group of archeologists have contacted me with some surprising news. An ancient meteorological record -- yes, including temperatures -- has been discovered in a heretofore undiscovered cavern beneath the cornfields of central Iowa. These archeologists have informed me that not only is this not the coldest November and December, but the coming January will not be the coldest ever recorded. This distinction belongs to a January of approximately 627 years ago! The clairvoyants of that time indicated that the January was so cold, so frigid, so devastating in meteorological impact, that the ice didn't melt clear through till June. Needless to say, January already is cold in the northern regions -- and even in the southern regions -- as recent below-freezing temperatures in Florida attest. The clairvoyant records discovered in the caverns of Iowa postulated that a very cold January is indicated by spontaneous occurrences of inexplicable behavior carried out in part by anonymous people claiming to be others. This strange behavior, known for centuries, is often a precurser of other strange phenomena, namely extreme meteorological occurrences of all kinds. Let's hope that any instances of imposters or reactionaries does not indicate a January of the same proportions as the records of the ancients have described. Keep an eye on the mercury in your thermometer, and plan accordingly. Thank you for your time. |
Juju2bigdog | Sunday, January 07, 2001 - 06:39 pm  I think you might be onto something, O. My timbers were definitely shivering.

Moondance | Sunday, January 07, 2001 - 06:46 pm  Hmmmm.... mid to high 70's & sunny here |
Wink | Sunday, January 07, 2001 - 06:47 pm  Thank goodness we don't have to worry about you being an "imposter" Ocean. As I understand it, according to another thread, you are just a "poster". |
Moondance | Sunday, January 07, 2001 - 06:48 pm  He is a shivering poster too, Wink! |
Wink | Sunday, January 07, 2001 - 07:52 pm  Well Ocean I'd say that pic is bound to melt lots of ice and bring on an early spring. That's exactly how you looked in my fantasy. Love Meg |
Ocean_Islands | Sunday, January 07, 2001 - 08:13 pm  Fantasies are great. Long live fantasy! |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 06:34 am  Wink, I think you are warming somebody's cockles. Or chestnuts. Maybe chestnuts.
 |
Wink | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 07:50 am  Come on JuJu look at that face. No chestnuts there - all cockles!! |
Wink | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 07:53 am  Ummm Ocean could you please do the "Are You Romantic" test. You know just to complete the overall persona. |

Enbwife | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 03:46 pm  Finally, a thread where I can complain about winter!!! I live in Ottawa, Canada, and I'm tellin ya, I've never shovelled so much DAMN snow in my life!!!! And winter has only just begun. It has been horribly cold here (minus 10-20 degrees celcius) regularly, and it seems to snow every day. Why oh why do I choose to live here??? Big sigh...... okay ...... feel better now. Thanks for letting me rant. |
Flint | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 03:48 pm  I guess I shouldn't mention how little snow we get in this part of NS? ;) |
Moondance | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 03:57 pm  Well, it is raining today in Sunny California but when there is little change in weather, a good rain shower is welcomed! |
Guruchaz | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 09:12 pm  My blood type, Juju? Tsk tsk. You have just got to stop sucking. uh huh huh  |
Guruchaz | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 09:23 pm  Yes, this place has become quite undead. |
