Default Winter again.

Ugh.

Is there anything worse than sleet hitting your unprotected face a
quarter of the way into your ride home?

Bring back global warming! I liked our record highs early this month
a whole lot more!

Riding on streets covered in deep slush, and having the passing motor
vehicles spray it all over you.

Being bathed in a half-bathtub full of diesel flavoured salted
Slurpee every time a car passes tests ones mettle.

And then there's, while walking, stepping off the curb
at an intersection where the slush puddle appears to
be only about 5 mm deep, but it really goes over the
tops of your shoes. And each subsequent footstep for
the rest of the journey makes a squishy sound.


cheers,
Tom

Put a baseball hat under your helmet, to use the visor to intercept
rain or sleet.

Grow a beard for cold forecast weeks.

Default Winter again. (Regurgitated denialist crap again.)

"The last time the sun was this inactive, Earth suffered
the Little Ice Age ..."


=v= Of course, the IPCC took the Little Ice Age into account
way back in 1996. Try to keep up.

=v= Of course, if global warming denialists *did* keep up,
they'd be out of work, since all they really do is play a
neverending whack-a-mole game ("But what about THIS? Aha!
Huh? Okay, so what about THAT? Aha! Huh? Okay, then what
about THIS?"), regurgitating long-debunked nonsense.

Try actually reading the /article/ this time:

=v= Um, I actually read it last time. Opinion based on
nondata is worthless. Posting it twice because you think
that will impress somebody is also worthless, a consequence
of the 2 x 0 = 0 equation.
