The Storm Is Coming

[SNFcj (Back on my grind)]

So far... much ado about nothing... in Tri-City area anyways... :roll:

Once again, the media blows an average story into something much bigger than it is... :roll:

This is Canada folks, and in Canada it snows and gets cold in February! Deal with it. :

 

[Question]

Wow, thats SOME snowstorm we're having :

 

[heart.picklez]

I figure we got about 6-8 inches close to the lake in Toronto. Big fucking deal!

Where's the kids who want to earn a few bucks shoveling my sidewalk? I haven't seen anyone do this in the last 20 years, the lazy coddled fuckers probably get $500 as a weekly allowance from their parents.

 

[Agent: Yip]

Who the fuck's going to dig for the groundhog and yank him out of his hole? :666:

 

[JANE W]

Hmmm they cancelled our schools with a 6am phone call to parents.
I hate when the phone rings in the middle of the night, I always think its bad news, usually a drunken wrong number.

Kinda the s-NO-w storm around here tho. Certainly not worth all the media hype, had to get milk yeasterday and I swear the store was way busier than usual-people must have been stocking the shelves for 40 days and 40 nights or something...thanks media lol

 

[Haute Couture]

LOL kind of what I figured.....we got about 6" up here too with more expected today...so all in all an average snowfall..........

Someone in FB posted about how bad bad bad it was going to be and knowing me, I gave a retort saying just deal with it and don't drive if it's so bad. Well, let me tell YOU the insults started flying fast and furious lol......to the point where I am no longer their "friend" lol...oh boo hoo hoo how ever shall I deal with the loss? Where's the straight razor...I know it's around here SOMEwhere lol.....

I like that line scotty: the s-NO-w storm lol..that's good...if I use it I'll pay you a royalty...(another wooden nickel).

 

[nosa]

woo hoooo the send scotty to meet the admiral girls fund is growing:

 

[skanda or lord muruga]

Seriously though, how can these Leftie fvcktards like Suzuki preach global warming when they cant even get a weather forecast right??!

 

[tnv302]

I don't know so much that it's global warming per se, but us screwing up the environment that is more the result. It's the unpredictable weather that is the result of our practices.

I think I read somewhere that this is the first time that all 50 states have had snow? (or something like that).

Oh, just an FYI, global warming doesn't mean the entire planet is going to be warmer, the shift in temps is going to make some places colder. For example: a state that doesn't normally get snow, when that snow falls the heat via sunlight is reflected back into space therefore making the area colder than normal.

A good movie to watch is "The day after tomorrow". It gives a good example of the shifting of climate zones.....

And yet another reminder not to trust the news EVER!!

Ontario dumped with snow:

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/ontario-gets-dumped-snow-storm-not-snowtorious-b-20110202-053350-041.html

At least they got the 2nd part right though: storm more Snobigdeal than Snowtorious B.I.G

 

[teresa g]

The planet is fine and will be fine. It was fine before humans evolved and it'll be fine after we're gone. Suggesting a Movie as an example of shifiting climate zones is kinda funny. Especially since the movie was kind of lame.

The climate of the earth is always changing...there's a great deal of evidence that our current changes have more to do with the output of the sun than anything "we" are doing to it with our SUVs. I don't know how anyone can listen to climatologists anyway, they can't predict the weather 24 hours out with much accuracy.

Weathermen are the only "professionals" who can be wrong most of the time and still keep their jobs!

BTW, I live in the states and had to deal with an inch or so of ice on everything. I'll take a foot of snow over this slippery icy crap any day.

Stay warm all.

 

[sweetlilbrat26]

wow for 2 days all i heard is the storm is coming the storm is coming big huge blizzard blah blah blah...u'd think the ttc woulda heard the news 2...this morning 10 AM, (snowstorm was done last nite) I catch the streetcar on major busy route into Union Station ..nothing shoveled, Spadina & King same thing stops fulla snow, I dont get it.

 

[xray_man69]

Well, using a movie as an example of a phenomena might seem lame to you, but since we don't have any historical video evidence to show what could happen, it's all we've got.

I suppose you also think that "life after people" is lame too?

Anyhow, there is also concrete evidence that what we're doing is accelerating the process and in fact, the smog and airborne particulate is actually slowing the warming process from the sun.

Anyone with an I Q over 75 realizes that by cutting down all the mechanisms for cleaning our air, and introducing 10 fold more pollutants can't be a good thing. Or are you going to try and tell me the brown haze of smog over every city is a natural occurance?

I tell you what primo, we'll do a little experiment shall we? We'll go to home depot, buy 50 house plants and put them in your garage with a lawn chair. We'll close the door and have you sit in that lawnchair for an hour. We'll test your heartrate.

Then we'll pull out all the plants and put in a smart car. We'll start the smart car, close the door and have you sit in the lawnchair for an hour. We'll then test your heart rate (if you have one).

I'm free this saturday so you can prove your point that what we're doing has no effect on our environment.

 

[cloumbgog]

I just checked the rescu cams again and if nothing else, the brouhaha over the storm has the highways nice and clear. I haven't seen this little traffic on the highways at this time of day since the 60's......

If you have to go anywhere in the GTA I'd say now is the time lol.....

 

[Typical Conservative]

^^^^ this man speaketh the troof

 

[Andrra]

Tboy you're going over board on wanting poor working stiffs fired and now you're going over the top and suggesting someone should commit suicide over climate change. You critize my anolagy and for fuck sakes you use a science fiction movie as an example of science. DUDE you're warped!!:

It's winter, we get snow and it gets cold. WTF does it have to do with climate change???

PS. Don't worry I won't stop chit chatting with you like your FB buddy, I enjoy the banter, especially when I know you are wrong and I am right!!:slap:

 

[Amarie Marquez]

You're forgetting one thing, tboy. Earth's oceans and even cows FFS put out much more CO2's than all manmade exhaust systems combined
(thats including cars, factories, ships...etc).

Fossil fuels only account for less than 3% of all CO2's

 

[My Time Is Now]

Did I say it was only exhaust systems? Where did I say that? I specifically said "pollutants" and that does include cows, industry, exhaust etc.

As for chunky: I never said anyone should commit suicide, Primo said what we're doing isn't contributing to the current global situation. I said prove it. If what we're doing isn't contributing then it won't harm him would it?

So thank you for proving/agreeing with my point, that's mighty white of you!

Anyone who thinks that our current practices aren't affecting the planet is just in denial. I mean, how stupid do you have to be to admit that running a car in a garage for an hour is harmful, but running a billion cars outside for an hour isn't? Does the exhaust just magically vanish? Does it magically become NON toxic?

As for cows vs cars as polluters: last time I was in Toronto I didn't see many cows roaming the streets but I sure as hell saw the brown air surrounding the city......

 

[ItseyBitsey]

Were I am I there so much snow coming down I can only see across the street. Plus the wind is picking up. I Love It.:angel:

 

[Stoic]

If you had half a brain you'd realize that it isn't whether we get snow or not, it is how much, when, and where it gets dumped. Historically, over the past few years, we've been getting less and less accumulation. That is climate change. DOH

Speaking of which, fat people eat more beef which means more cows have to be raised which means more pollutants. So, fat boy, stop eating so much so you can stop contributing to climate change.

And yeah, my bad for wanting someone who puts lives at risk to lose their job...MY bad......shame on me......DOH
