We Are Freeeeeeezing! And You?

[Videoskooter]

Since a few days we are experiencing one of the coldest winters since many years over here. Snow, ice and extreme cold temperatures.

I'm constantly doing maintenance on our Ferris Wheel here and I have to heat the watertanks to prevent them from freezing (they keep the wheel in balance). Luckily people are still coming for a ride.

And then... we turn on da tele and we see people on the beach in Australia, celebrating X-mas in their swimming suits :lol:

I know the members here are living in all the corners of the world, so my little question: "How's the weather over there?"

Our Belgian coast today where snow is very rare except for now:

Well it's cold for San Diego. Nightime upper 30s to low 40ºF. Daytime mid 60ºF.

It was 72F this afternoon clear blue sky without a cloud. Far better than the 6 month long frigid arctic conditions I left behind in the Socialist People's Republic of Massachusetts.

You guys should visit Buenos Aires now. Today was the hottest day of all December, with some 35C in the shade. Summer started a week ago and I just bought a bathing suit this afternoon.
There's a big family reunion in a nice, quiet house in the suburbs for December 31. I plan to use my bathing suit in the swimming pool.

Envy me! 8)

OMG :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Belgian and Dutch authorities have just issued a strong warning that if you don't have to get out today (Friday) you're strongly adviced to stay at home. We're going to get the full load of snow and ice in a few hours.

On december 29, Denmark unofficially closed down :lol:

I can't remember the last time I saw so much snow over here. Parts of the country are completely impassable!
We're expecting huge amounts of glazed frost later today, this could ruin new years eve for a lot of people

[DiscoMan]

I feel your pain! I spent my entire life like that living in Massachusetts. New England winters are brutal. My wife and I decided to move to warmer climes last winter after a January blizzard - 3 feet of snow, 9F temperatures and 60 mile an hour winds. We finished the winter of 2004-2005 with 10 feet of snow.

It's 70F and SUNNY where I am now. :D

[Videoskooter]

K, join the chaos :lol:

Belgium is down at this moment and the worst is yet to come :lol:

[Videoskooter]

It's 70F and SUNNY where I am now. :D

Sucks to be you.

[Videoskooter]

Don't worry, Belgians are tough people and this afternoon the customers were there

[DiscoMan]

Over here we play bumper cars with REAL cars... :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Videoskooter]

Yeah, you do since GM is only making small cars :lol: :lol:

BTW, Discoman and Discowoman, Happy 2006 and enjoy the sun!



And you don't get to see this:

[DiscoMan]

And Happy New Year to you Videoskooter!

Is that Betty Page?

[discohunter]

Over here in Adelaide, Australia, it was 42C yesterday and today (New Years Eve) is supposed to be 38C with a possible thundery shower. :D

Btw, happy new year to all

70F right now and I'm freezing.

Hey guys... just wanted to share this with you: Buenos Aires is having a record of hot weather as a huge mass of hot air is traveling down from Paraguay and Brazil. A high level of humidity is guaranteeing temperature levels by 35-40°C for this weekend.

Right now I'm sitting in an air-conditionated cyber-bar (here they're all run by Chinese people), wearing a neckless T-shirt, swimming trunks and sandals. :)

[Videoskooter]

Ehmmm, Viva Argentina? :lol:

I'm spraying anti-freeze on my leather pants here :lol: Monday, we will break up our giant wheel. That'll be great! Brrrrrrrrr :lol:

But we are men. We laugh at bad weather conditions! :roll:

Tampa Bay is cool at 58F.

Thursday I had an opportunity to drive over the I275 causeway into Clearwater. The temp. was 78F, no humidity and a clear blue cloudless sky. The day was gorgeous and the view was breathtaking - kinda like Toni Braxton.

In NYC it's 36.9°F (2.7°C) right now. Been in the low 40°s all winter. Last winter we had a few big snowstorms, the largest of which dumped 18" (45.7cm) on us. I hurt my back severely after that storm digging out my driveway. So this October I spend $500 on a snowthower to clear my little 40' by 100' (12.2m x 30.4m) property. Of course this winter it hasn't snowed more than an 2 inches so far.

Greetings from Europe-Brrrr

Seems like we are having one of the coldest winters in many, many years. I took these pics this afternoon. This is were I live folks. No sun, no warmth, no beach, no nude women jumpin' around :(

[Bernie]

I'm gonna rub it in Johan, :evil: because we've had a very mild January here in Maryland. Temps have been as high as 60 degrees F during the days. Even my friends back in New York City say it's been unusually warm. Thanks for taking the cold hit for us. I'm sure you'll be smirking at us next year when you get the mild winter and we freeze.

BTW: Nice rig for the Disco Bumper Cars. How long does that take to load / unload?

[DiscoMan]

Sucks to be you Videoskooter...

It was 76F and sunny here this afternoon - I even mowed my lawn!
Wish you were here and I have a good disco music collection... :D

This is only the 1 with the roof and the side-panels and side-walks. In total: this truck, 1 with the floor, 1 for the sound and light system, 1 for the 26 cars, 1 trailer with the cashbox and controls, 1 living-trailer. Hell of a transport, ain't it :lol:

We can build it up in 16 hours and break up in 10 hours.

BTW, this is a recent pic with the brand new cars for 2006.
