We have a cold cold winter ahead???

fonecrusher1 · 25-10-2010 2:34am #1

Tonight as i drove to tescos the temperature showing on the trip computer display in my car read 2 degrees. Its already pretty feckin cold & its only October. Even as i type theres a thin crust of frost showing on cars on the street

I reckon we're in for a dang cold winter. Maybe the coldest in a long dang time.

Could you give a sh!t? Or is it a worry for you? Would a severly cold winter cause you distress.

Hilarious quips to follow...

ISN'T IT FIERCE MILD?

Once the pipes don't freeze and leave me without any water for nearly 3 weeks, like they did at the start of the year, i don't mind.

Anyway this way debated here a few days ago. Keep up man!

This October has been one of the mildest on record.

Even if its a cold winter, we get to leave work at 2 o'clock cos de buses can't make it out to Lucan once a bit of frost hits.

Its not that bad. What do you think Jack?

You've never heard of the weather being described as "close"? Get thee beyond the Pale some time, my friend! :pac:

The closer you drive to Tesco, the colder it gets.

They are the epi-centres of the bad weather. Under every Tesco supermarket, there are giant ice machines which radiate freezing temperatures through the earths subsoil.

Each winter, they plan to make it colder & colder in order to make people buy more and stock up. They have already bought up the world's supply of snow chains, hot water bottles & Bovril, with the plan to sell them at exorbitant prices to the public.

You will of course get extra Clubcard points, so it's not all that bad.

Thanks. I choose you as my translator.

I will summon thee when required.

Yep, there's loads of signs for another damn cold winter. I'm installing a new stove tomorrow, I NEVER want to have the house as cold as it was in January.

The water froze in the bowl and the cistern of me tyleh.

Also no water due to frozen pipes, hence no heating.

Also I was in a job that required a lot of driving . . . not good on icy country roads in the freezing dark.

It's remarkably cold at night already. Must find someone to hibernate with once college finishes for Christmas.

Yeah but remember that ALL cars have cheap crappy temperature guages - so I would not base your end of the world forecast on this. It's quite warm during the daytime for the time of year. Today I saw lads in t-shirts on the main street so it's not the apocalypse.

Anyone who lived through the snows and freezes in the early 1980's will tell you that we have it easy now and people are panicing at normal weather. Jesus we had one of the nicest Summers and Indian Summers for a long time this year. Get out of your house/car more and enjoy the sunshine and warmth.

Stop watching hollywood disaster movies and thinking that the next rainy morning is the end of the world. It's not !!!!

candy-gal1 · 25-10-2010 7:44am

Ah 2012 anyway.

The Day After Tomorrow

A car-driver tries to figure out a way to save the world from abrupt cold weather in October (October ... cold ... imagine !!!). He must get to his young son in Dublin, which is being taken over by a new ice age.

If they manage it the way they did last winter, I probably will be barely able to get to work for a couple of weeks....
