I'm reading a climate change novel at the moment. The one character who is staying out in a park in DC keeps running around telling everyone "No cotton next to your skin in these temperatures" Can anyone explain that?
Water is going to just fall out of the sky the next 4 days!!!!! |

But not enough to work like a wetsuit? Wool, and the new synthetic fibers, "wick away" the moisture? But only a select few of you are going out with a single layer, and the smart ones have an exterior layer to block the wind, correct? So where does the "wicked" water safely "collect"?

University classes were cancelled here and at UIUC today. I understand it's cold and you can get frostbite, but there are ways to avoid that. And the buildings are heated. Otherwise it's sunny here and the streets and sidewalks are clear. Easy walking. If it was 30F and snowing like crazy with slick streets and sidewalks, the classes would still be in session. Go figure.

Its splitting hairs though, the differences are not as exaggerated as some would have you believe. |

As a result we are cultivating a generation of "snow flakes" as Bill Maher calls them. When I was in school in WI, we once got 16" of snow in a few hours. The school finally cancelled classes because the campus buses couldn't run. They said it was the first time they had to close in almost 100 years. I was already in school, when they announced, so I walked home. Last edited by MPBK; 01-30-2019 at 03:08 PM.. |

Here's the Maumee River here in OH. pretty crazy to see how much ice can get packed in and form some crazy pile ups from up river. I've been told that current still flows underneath

That said, I think the cold was a little over-hyped for this area. Chicago is brutal, but downstate we're above zero now and the wind isn't that bad.

They cancelled classes because of liability. Everybody is so eager to sue nowadays. Last edited by MPBK; 01-31-2019 at 04:17 AM.. |
