How are you being affected by the weather

[RamesesII]

Hey i live in Australia and right now we've got major flooding in north eastern part of the country due to a cyclone and killer heat down south 44 degrees cellsius which is about 110 farenheit.

Anyway my question is how is the weather affecting you in your part of the world( if it is) or any crazy weather stories you have post them here.

[Maridia]

Well New England is big on fluctuation at any given time. Right now it's 7 outside though only a couple days ago it almost got to 40. We don't have the most extreme weather but you learn to deal with the mugginess and cold at the appropriate time.

When I was 6 or 7 in Rhode Island it was hailing once and luckily we didn't have school but you kept hearing incessant BANG noises on all the windows since some ended up being the size of popcorn haha. I know one of the neighbors got a cracked window from it but that's about it. Not exciting to tell but at the time it was quite awing.

[RamesesII]

Thats cool we don't really get tornados down here i envy those storm chasers that would be an unreal job watching mother nature at its best

[Chez Daja]

Well, we've got so much snow here that it's kind of tough to move around. So far, it hasn't been too much trouble for me, I just grin and bear it. I do worry that I won't be able to pick Andrew up from the train station, since the only way there is up a huge hill. Still, he'd walk here with enough ease, I just like to be able to meet him at the station.

The weather isn't really affecting me just now. My city has been squashed by almost a foot and a half of snow, but that's not too unusual.

However, the weather is affecting my ability to watch the news. It is at times like this that you can really see that all that stuff the BBC and ITV spout about being 'UK Newscasters' is utter, utter, bullshit - they're ENGLAND news. I wish they'd stop pretending otherwise.

Anyway, the only news for days now has been about England's councils being retarded and unable to grit a few roads and runways. It's driving me mental. Israel, Gaza? Not as important as some city workers in Surrey who had some snow on their precious cars. The Prime Minister saying we're officially in a depression? Who cares! London's spastic bus service stopped for a day, and that is obviously far more important.

Northern Ireland, Wales, and Scotland have all been shat on with snow. But we don't matter, because we can cope.

/**** the BBC for being crap journalists

I live south of Sydney (Australia) in a suburb known for it's temperature extremes compared to neighbouring suburbs. The heat is ****ing terrible, especially for my precious PC and gaming goods. I'm quite thankful for air conditioning, though it doesn't make working during the day any easier.

On the bright side I haven't heard of as many babies and old people dying this year's summer, but that just might be my lack of interest in watching/reading the news.

I've heard of some deaths just old people who unfortunately can't cope with the heat.

Since Las Vegas doesn't get much bad weather. We got a lot of rain the past 2 days. The only way the rain effects me is that my car does not have wind shield wipers. So I have to drive with rain pouring onto my wind shield. But you get used to that.

[KeyranSolo]

Here in the UK, it's actually been ok today, still very cold, but no snow at all. The last 5 or so days have been chatoic with the amount of snow we've been having, i've missed college 3 days in a row thanks to it, and a lot of people I know couldn't get to work, and if they did get to work, they were tolled they could go back home, so i'm predicting that must've been very frustrating.

I love playing in the snow, though

[MakotoKin]

I'm in Canada (Nova Scotia to be exact), and we've had quite a bit of snow. We had gotten about 2-3 feet of snow in one storm, which was crazy by the way. The snow now, however, is beginning to melt off, which I'm more than thankful for.

[celebrity.skin]

It's actually not too bad up here on the Gold Coast weather-wise. It's hot but bearable.

[Mr.Needle]

Yehh, here in UK snow seems to have laid off a lil for now, but its been mental the last week...

[RamesesII]

Its not going so well in australia we've got major flooding still up north and now we've got devestating fires ripping through victoria and nsw as well the death toll is like up to 80 something last time i heard on the news its bloody terrible.

[Angantyr]

It's hot and sweaty and its been that way since New Years, its cooled down a bit yesterday and today with the rain but I'm still in my singlet and boxers feeling hot and bothered. This type of weather gives me headaches and makes me feel queasy, need more reasons to stay inside anyway

[nra4]

i live in australia aswel its very hot wen u go outside its like jeeze

[Walter Sobchak]

How am I being affected? Well, it is a nice eighty degrees. This is very hard on me, because I have to spend my time at the beach instead of studying or being depressed while stuck indoors from snow.

It is entirely too much to handle. I might need to find a new place to exist in.

[Strong Bad]

I live dead center in the middle of Canada. (Manitoba to be precise.)

Basically, I freeze my balls off for a good two thirds of the year. Yup. In winter it gets down to -50C and up to 40C in the summer. OH BOY?!

I hear it shortens peoples life times... but really, it just builds character!

We drink often.

[RamesesII]

Well I don't know if many of you know or have experienced severe dust storms but we have been having quite severe dust storms of late which isn't unheard of in Australia being the driest continent in the world, but lately we have had some of the worst with strong westerly winds picking up the fine dust from farms in Western Australia and carrying it all the way out to sea almost to New Zealand apparently. How is this affecting us well not me personally but a lot of people with breathing difficulties and babies have been affected.

[Kisuke]

I live in Kentucky and right now it is about 70 degrees unusual for this time of year but shit I won't complain about it...Last week it was 35 degress out and then it suddenly spiked up and I am enjoying it..

[DragonHeart]

It snowed the other day here. It's supposed to get to almost 70F today. >_>

Ah New England, ever true to the old saying. "Don't like the weather? Wait five minutes; it'll change." All too true sometimes. That said, it is still a bit early for snow, even for us. Luckily it didn't stick.

Supposed to be a lot of snow this winter. I can't say I'm looking forward to it. Thundersnows are kind of neat though.
