My best Christmas ever was in Belgium. We were supposed to go to Germany for the day to visit distant relatives. A blizzard closed everything and instead I got to stay in a bathrobe and read.

Now I would have to go and pack a bathing costume. I am not a fan of climate change.

I won’t ever forget how cold it got here last Christmas in Appalachia.

I closed the store for the 24th and 25th. When I came back the place was flooded because the heat stopped working and the pipes in the ceiling exploded. The entire store was flooded and I spent the day after Christmas pushing water out of the store.

I had to take a heater and melt the ice to finish the job.

What a nightmare.

It’s storming and 60 degrees where I live.

It should be cold and snowing.

I’m glad I never had kids. Can’t imagine how bad it’s going to be in a decade or two when the shit really hits the fan.

These are the temps in the notoriously cold Minnesota as well. I’m unsettled and upset.

Yup. I’m Northwest of you in Canada and I can see my lawn. I’m not supposed to see my lawn…

(At least until March at the earliest. We have a little bit of snow but not much, most of it melted)

Same in Wisconsin, lawn is greener now in December than it was in June because we had a drought this summer. It’s really uncomfortable.

January and February is when it normally gets cold here.

People like to pretend that Christmas was a time of snow and ice, but that’s pretty rare. Dickens wrote about them, but his childhood coincided with the coldest decade in over a century.

Lived in my city for 37 years. Never had a “brown Christmas” until this year. It has also been above freezing every day this winter. Not the norm.

Mate what? You typically see -3 to maybe 7C. It’s 13-14C today it seems. That’s not normal.

The warmest Christmas in UK history is 15C. Yesterday was the hottest Christmas eve since 1997. We won’t know until tomorrow if today is the hottest Christmas on record.

Quit your climate change denial bullshit.

Sadly, that part comes later as well:-(.

The only bright side is that after the adjustment period, Earth is going to be just fine - no lie! (Humans living on it though… that’s a bit of a different story now…😞)

I’m living on the south coast of Ireland.

Normal temps this time of year should be between 0° and 10°C (32F to 50F)

It hasn’t been less than 10°C all this week, it shows on my car on the way to work. Fucking scary how this is only the beginning and we are in no way prepared for this.

Until the gulf stream gets fucked, then Ireland, the UK, and plenty of other places in Europe will suddenly plummet in temperature. Remember we’re further north than the bulk of Canada… fun times ahead.
