ASH1962 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I hate this $hit man. 8 degrees with 40 MPH gusts? Really? Just imagine being on a crab fishing boat in the Bering Sea at these temperatures, 30 foot seas, and working slinging crabs for 28 hours straight.

Sometimes that shark, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a shark, he's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin' and the ocean turns red and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin' they all come in and rip you to pieces. Y'know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men! I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand! I don't know how many men, they averaged six an hour.

BaumerJet Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 At least we're not in Chicago. It's going to be 20 below zero there by tomorrow morning. It's only going to feel like it's going to be 10 below tomorrow morning when we all get up here in New Jersey and the New York Metropolitan area, if you're near the coast.

The temps dropped in the 20s last week and damaged our monstrous Hawaiian tree ferns that were a big deal to have shipped over from Hilo. The rhizomes might be dead. I'm so pissed at God right now.

Bombdirt Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Here in Illinois we had a high of zero degrees yesterday and a low of -10. It's -5 right now and I'm freezing my ass off just sitting in my living room. Every year I swear to myself that I can't take this crap anymore and that I'm definitely going to move, yet here I am for another miserable winter. I sure am a dumbass.

Larz Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I work outside. this was nothing. the sun and low wind made it very bearable.

And you're right, I know the average winter temps in Reykjavik are warmer than in NYC. Hope you're enjoying the geothermals. They're amazing. We've been all over the country and it is crazy, you can be in a town of 300 people and they still have an outdoor, Olympic size swimming pool surrounded by hot tubs, open year round and fully heated because there are no operating costs. We were in one a few days ago that had a steam room almost directly over a hot spring. All renewable, sustainable energy. Americans are ******* lunatics. The West coast should have started doing this decades ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sg3 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 We live in a fading Republic. Iceland is one of the truly amazing places on the planet. Should be on everyone's bucket list. If you are still there Rutgers DONT miss eating the tasting lunch at a restaurant called Fishmarket in Reykjavik. Think Alina in Chicagoland and an amazingly inexpensive price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Yellowstone Park, and the fact that we're preserving it, but there's got to be a way to tap into some of that energy, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Yellowstone Park, and the fact that we're preserving it, but there's got to be a way to tap into some of that energy, too. Absolutely. It's an incredibly simple process harnessing energy along fault lines or volcanoes (much lower risk than that sounds as well). And once it's done you're golden. We visited the power plant that powers all of Reykjavik, there's only 4 guys working there at a time because it's all renewable. And the plant produces 2x more than the city actually needs because it's so efficient. All from hot water coming out of the earth, it's nuts. It's funny too, because when they switched to geothermal energy here it was highly contested. Now they all wonder what the hell they were thinking. Great country to nerd out in. As you can tell. If you're a science lover this place is Graceland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
