If you're cold, they're cold. Bring them inside.

I only have room for Sid

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Sid likes 3m high tunnels. Make sure to elevate your house's hoof appropriately.

I'm in northern Ontario and no matter how terrible and blinding snow it is outside ... we'll still have people on social media in our area asking things like ... 'How are the highways today? I want to go to Walmart'

It will be rain, sleet, snow, solid ice on the highway, blinding snow, no visibility and there will always be a dozen people asking .... 'How are the roads? We need to get to grandma's for a party'

Just keep replying "Despite this hellish blizzard covering the whole Ontario, it's clear skies and sunshine on the highways. Praise the lord!"

A glacial ice sheet has formed over Highway 17 and it is now 100 feet deep and compacting at the bottom into solid ice ... all animal life is freezing to death in the minus 60 degree weather ... but if you're careful, you can still make it to Walmart before closing

We got 7 to 14 inches in upstate New York recently. Gotta love that lake effect. It’s also been quite chilly.

[–] butterycroissant@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

i was affected by that too. how was everyone's driving?

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Heh, I put my car in the ditch because I’m used to driving in the south and was attempting to get home for Thanksgiving weekend on all seasons. The tow truck guy sounded pretty busy and it took a few hours for him to come pull me out, so I was far from the only one.

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What’s wrong with all seasons? You driving country roads or something?

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

All-seasons are better called no-seasons. If you use all-seasons in the snow, you get what you deserve.

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So I live in a snowy area and I drive on all seasons. I mean, I drive 3pms all seasons, but I drive all seasons.

My area is really good with plowing and salting on major roadways. Don’t get me wrong, if I moved a couple hours north I would strongly consider them. But it’s just not worth it where I am.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Well, those would be “all-weather” tires, not all-season. But many all-weather tires are not meant to be used in severe winter conditions, like the Michelin Cross Climate. Michelin even says to use a dedicated winter tire in severe winter conditions or ice.

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well, they are marketed as all seasons. There’s a limit to what kind of tire I’m willing to sport in the climate here

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Or just be like me and have four sets of wheels and tires to be able to handle anything. Lol

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 months ago

I don't even have storage space for one full size spare.

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

All seasons are best called rain and cold tires. They are absolutely not “no seasons” and are appropriate in 3 or 4 seasons depending on where you live.

I’ve lived in upstate NY and driven FWD cars with all seasons plenty of times, even in deep accumulation. This was my first time with this car, which happens to have wider tire compared to my old cars, and those plus an off camber turn was the recipe for understeering into a ditch. I was driving at a significantly reduced speed and my car was completely fine after being pulled out.

“You get what you deserve” well, fuck you, too.

Looking at -20C tonight. Ugh….

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

-18°C for me. Fun times.

[–] butterycroissant@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

oh wow, do you wish there was more snow?

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 10 points 3 months ago

If it is THAT cold, maybe seek shelter immediately.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If global is real why is it colder? /s

[–] NotSafeForWorld@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

It's not, flat earth freezing tho . . .

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

What am I looking at here?

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Characters from the movie series Ice Age

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Even having seen the movies and now knowing what it is, I still can't make it out.

It's this image super imposed on a blizzard photo taken from the inside of a car.

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 2 points 3 months ago

Okay now I see it. Thanks

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

A perspective past someone's side mirror, showing the characters from the movie "Ice Age," implying that the photographer in the modern times is coexisting with animated characters who existed during the most recent ice age.

IE, the poster is cold.

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wet blanket comment: Don't the Ice Age movies specifically happen at the end of the ice age when it's warming?

[–] FarceOfWill 9 points 3 months ago

No the first one is as everyone is fleeing south to escape the ice. The exact opposite
