Fucking climate change…
(Apologies for using Freedom Units.)
Without knowing what’s normal for the location, this is meaningless.
The other day I got some water in my basement.
We’ve lived here (in this house) 5 years, never had water in our basement. (I’ve lived in the region my whole 38 years)
It was due to the one inch of snow, followed immediately by 4 inches of rain, that came over the course of 24 hours. Thats very edge-case weather for our area, but that’s weather.
Then I got down to cleaning up and I came across my kids sleds. Realized we got them 3 years ago and still haven’t had one good enough snow day to use them. 3 consecutive years without one good snow day has not happened at all in my living memory. Thats climate.
Shits fucked yo.
I remember growing up my parents and their generation always talking about The Blizzard of 78. Always sounded like tall tales. Sledding out of their second or third floor windows because the drifts were that high. But there are pictures to prove it. I don’t think my kids can conceptualize that much snow. It’s like…maybe a couple inches on the ground at a time and usually matted down to slush or ice because the snow turns to freezing rain partway through.
I’ve also had water in my basement. Haven’t had water in my basement in 40 years. It’s due to almost continues rain for 3 monthes and all water ways in the region on the verge of overflowing. That’s climate change.
What’d wrong with it?
That’s not that much of a swing, and stuff like this happens every year to be honest. Climate change is real, of course, but lets not water down the valid points with stuff like this.
Same here.
Edit: Southwest Germany. It should be -5 to 0 degree.
What would be normal if this isn’t? It’s cold and sunny, then when it warmed up a bit, it rained. That sounds normal to me
Maybe this person lives in the desert? This looks like normal weather patterns to me too.
