happyjillin Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Been here 15+ years and don't remember it ever being this cold in November. Speaking of which Canada vs. Mexico soccer in Edmonton where Mexico is going to get a rude awakening with a forecast of -13C low and snow, manana @ game time. If Canada wins,they will be in first place to qualify for Qatar ahead of Mexico and the US. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whipstock Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 I have not been here nearly as long, but I have certainly noticed that the floors are frosty in the AM lately. 🥶 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudgirl Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Last winter was the coldest I've ever experienced here on the coast. The nighttime temps went down to the mid 40'sF for almost 2 months, which is unheard of around here. No one has ever had the need for heaters here in the flat coastal areas, but last year we sure wished we had some. While it's not cold here at night presently, it's quite cool at night for this time of year, so I won't be surprised if the winter is cold again.

Bisbee Gal Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 This is the earliest we've considered bringing out a space heater for the coldest area of house (office). Usually that's not until mid to late December. The forecast is for a warm-up of 5 or 6 degrees for daytime highs by end of this week.

mexijims1 Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 I agree. Climate change is the more accurate description for our weather changes. Maybe only global warming term applies to the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecoons Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Third year in a row for La Niña, a cold water condition in the eastern Pacific. Unusual but not unprecedented. Definitely chillier, and I can't remember a year with as much cloudiness as this one either. Definitely affecting our solar power production. Got the sweat shirt out early this year.

Yo1 Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 My house has been between 60-67 degrees during the day for a week. Brrrrrr! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringohombre Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Maybe this is the next global cooling period? Did anyone advise the stuffed shirts in Scotland (who flew in on thier polluting private jets) that CLIMATE CHANGE works both ways??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you that the people who attended that conference are well aware of how climate change works. Only ignorant people think "global warming" means it's just going to get progressively hotter everywhere all year long. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and there are also hundreds with the opposite points of view by just as qualified scientists buried by FAKE NEWS !!!

I hope you don't think both sides of this issue have been given anything near equal and unbiased coverage in the MSM. It is pretty obvious those who get their "news" only from these sources are oblivious to the rather vigorous debate in scientific circles around global climate and its inevitable change, let alone what some nations can do about it while the greatest polluters roll on unchecked. Fully three fourths of the public NOB when polled consistently place little credibility in these sources these days. Perhaps some here might want to take note. Anyway, it will be interesting to see if the year end data confirms the feeling it has been cloudier, wetter and cooler around here than long time averages. It sure feels that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted November 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Go Canada! there will be 40-50,OOO people at Commonwealth stadium wearing snowmobile suits watching soccer and all of Mexico will watch on TV in the comfort of their homes or sports bars. I am wearing my jacket this morning because it's still cold HERE. Don't you people ever lighten up? A simple post about UNUSUAL cold HERE and an important soccer game and y'all gotta argue about global climate "scientists say" nonsense. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floradude Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 This is my 19th winter. I am too old to say this is the coldest, or earliest, but I have my electric blanket on my bed. I will admit I have not turned it on yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 It usually gets cold enough after Halloween to order in firewood, and shortly after that...to start a fire in the living/dining room. Started last week. Towel wedged under front door draft and windows closed. Seems like the usual weather here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyBee Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Last week I ordered a space heater on Mercado Libre for my neighbor. She told me that she and her 2 children all sleep in the same bed to stay warm. (my golden does not need to be plugged in ☺️). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Crossed the border (permanently) at Calexico-Mexicali 23 years ago as of this Thursday Nov. 18. I can absolutely state weather last 5 years has gotten progressively colder, especially overnight... sometimes as much for high altitude cold AIR and winds, but also actual thermometer readings. At the same time, last few years have had hotter weather earlier in the April -- June period. Used to be people "escaped" in May. Now...... Climate change is not just HOT. It's also FREAKY other changes. Witness most of lower British Columbia since Sunday night, where "atmospheric river" rains have flooded out whole towns, caused landslides, highway washouts, and much more---- even at high, mountainous elevations. Entire total of November annual average rainfall (1991 to present) in one area happened in less than 48 hours, and it's still happening. This is the same area where all of August was H-O-T and fires ranged throughout for the entire month..... one town totally burned to the ground, hundreds of thousands of acres turned into ash and cinders, and losses in the many millions. ONLY if you're interested.... here are some video clips from different parts of the lower SE part of the province, fr4om many different elevations. https://globalnews.ca/news/8375787/b-c-floods-photos-videos-roads-washed-away-cars-submerged-debris/ https://globalnews.ca/news/8374573/people-trapped-vehicles-agassiz-highways-flooding/ https://globalnews.ca/news/8376358/vancouver-island-storm-malahat-closed/ https://globalnews.ca/news/8375493/runaway-barge-english-bay/ 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickS Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 This is not meant to be a comment on Climate Change or not, but rather how we might be visualizing it.... drawing conclusions from our 'recent' past. "Recent Past" being defined as the last 50 years. While IMO there is proof enough that things are escalating at a rate not seen before, to judge that 'it must be because I've experienced a change myself' is not an accurate conclusion to come to. We say that 'we just broke a 50 year record with this (take your choice, hot or cold)'. But if one just looks at that statement it MUST mean that 50 years ago it was this 'bad', hot or cold. It's repeating itself but somehow we don't take it that way. We see it as a new situation. Another factor of when we talk about how the temperature affects us.... how we personally are colder or hotter than before.... is that for the most part as we age we become less tolerant of temperature 'spreads'... we generally are less able to be comfortable at the outer boundaries of hot and cold. So we complain and "think" that it is hotter or colder. Or at least I do and my wife does. My whole point is that it is DATA that should be listened to, not how we/our bodies are judging it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
