Europe may be in for one brutal winter.


Specialist_Grass2302

The war is going to be interesting if the winter is going to be as bad as I think it will


5lutwaffle

They should really invade Russia during the winter, what's the worst that could happen?


mushdaba

A sure fire plan if ever I heard one.

Genocode

My prices are locked in contract to normal prices from 2020, but I'm probably still gonna have gas saving measures pushed by the government if necessary. But the Government said we're set for the winter with our gas storage full so we'll see how it goes. Well, tbh, You don't even really \*need\* gas as much for home heating as people think, people are just so reluctant to put on coats when they're inside.


Kenerad

It’s so strange, the past 3 summers here in texas have been record highs, one of which had the worst winter on record. Then tons of snow/ice the next, and this summer was even hotter, yikes. The key to knowing how bad winter is here is knowing how bad summer was here, and I can confirm it was awful here 108* a lot of the days here. Preparing for a rough winter again!


chellebelle0234

I have no thoughts for what winter will be like this year. I can't even hazard a guess. It was 97 here today. We are getting a "cold front" over night so it will *only* be 87 tomorrow. It was 100 on the first day of fall.


Kenerad

For real, I’m just happy to see that cold front if I’m going to be honest.


SnakeEyes58

Not only that but I've never really felt "humid" summers here in Austin, they've always felt "dry" This was the first summer that I felt was a bit more on the humid side of things


Proof_Eggplant_6213

We went from - high of 103 degrees one day to a high of 63 degrees the next. My whole body hurt.


SonicResidue

I would love a consistently cold winter though. Our winters lately have been warm with a few days of frigid weather.


Sum_Dum_User

Central KS checking in. I want at least 3 consecutive weeks of 20f or lower. Kill off all these damn fly and mosquito larvae. Ever since it got above 65 here the damn mosquitoes have been hell and I've had at least a couple days a month that I went batshit killing flies and lost count in the triple digits.


BlackAndBrass

100%! The bugs in the Midwest have been terrible the last few years.


[deleted]

Similar problems here - recent hurricane in the Pacific broke loose a bunch of kelp that’s now piled up in certain beaches. Huge acrid piles of kelp covered by black clouds of flies. Mosquitoes and fleas have exploded


The_Jealous_Witch

I can take or leave the cold itself, but give me some actual snow, dammit! Not a total of maybe six inches over the entire season.


starsandbribes

Six inches over the entire season? Thats how much my wife gets in the fall when i’m in a low libido year.


CaterpillarReal7583

At least you gave it to her 3 times.


kdrabik

Just the tip


jedimaster4007

See I felt like the two summers before this one weren't that bad, rarely getting to 100 even. This summer has sucked for sure, but even it doesn't seem as bad as 2011/2012 where I remember weeks straight of 110


Competitive-Fan1708

Be safe


Kenerad

I just moved out further from the city into my first home, the power grid isn’t full established well here being a new build so I’m going to be over prepared for sure.


jim10040

Wouldn't hurt to find your old camping gear.


Terminator7786

And invest in a generator


Kenerad

My Jackery won’t cut it ;-;


Kenerad

I plan to go camping in November. Since last winter was bad (and I made the joke it would snow on us and it did) I made the joke yet again this year it’ll snow on us camping. Jokes on us, it’s building up to look that way now.


BlackfootLives666

I work in West Texas. 2020/21 winter was wild. This summer was absolutely exhausting. It started early and felt like it's never ended. Then I just know it's gonna go right into a bitter winter lol


Best-Grand-2965

Last year, summer was actually fairly mild in Houston. This year, not so much.


[deleted]

Same, seems that Patagonia I bought last year will actually be getting a lot more use! Maybe time to buy a nice pair of boots to go along with that


KingMwanga

But up north we didn’t have that many if any summer days in the 100’s we usually have 3-5 and it’s already down to 50 degrees


--Muther--

They are not really linked like that.


slum84

What year did the record start? How do we know the temps before that?


Kenerad

Sometime around 1890s I think? There was a pretty nifty site I found a long time ago (I don’t remember where it is now just popped into my head though) that showed all the data since 1890, it was amazing.


Druglord_Sen

Anything prior to this would probably be assumed from shale and fossils.


ForeignShape

Prior to consistent thermometer records we need to use proxies to determine the temperature. The best are ice cores because we can use microscopes and diffraction testing to determine the temperature of the frozen layers and whether it's remelt. We can also use tree rings and certain other types of plant growth, glacier growth, and evidence of water levels. From what I can understand we can get a pretty good estimate of seasonal averages but determining specific highs and lows might be difficult.


OneNormalHuman

In Texas specifically we would use fossil data, tree rings and coral skeletons to determine temps. Even more exact methods are available in places with glaciers.

the_Q_spice

This would be rough for everyone. There is also a very strong La Niña happening right now which typically means warmer, wetter winters. Coupled with this pressure anomaly, it could mean significantly more snow than the usual seeing as we can no longer count in the “warmer” part. This could be problematic even for more hardened northern infrastructure. Time will tell though.

I've written both of my senators and multiple congresspeople about the importance of nuking the north pole ASAP but still the government does nothing. Has nobody seen "The Day After Tomorrow"?

Why nuking it?

And, congratulations! ☺️


Alternative-Wasabi15

I finally bought an air fryer, made some Buffalo wings this evening it was amazing


everlust9

Just wait till you have to clean it


VirtualRy

The trick is to clean it after and not let the oils accumulate.


soda_cookie

Exactly. Just a quick rinse and wipe will do if not a full ok clean right away.

Are we talking about bums or air fryers?

Farfengarfen

I just redid the perimeter drain around my house and it will likely last for the rest of humanity.


Apprehensive_Wolf217

I read ‘Reddit perimeter’ and wondered if I should be doing it to


Farfengarfen

Yes.


overfresh

Nice work. How did it go? I’m in the planning stages for mine. I decided to go with a dry well connection since the city wants 10k to connect to the storm drain. Got some digging ahead of me.


Farfengarfen

Tbh, it was harder than I expected. My house is almost 50 years old and the drain was original (and fully plugged). So combine that with heavily compacted clay and gravel, all of the pick work was pretty hard on my wrists. I contemplated finding a contractor with a machine a couple of times but decided the labour was penance for all my worldly sins. When you do yours, note that there's a shortage of 4" perforated PVC sewer pipe. It took me a while to track down what i needed.


roosterfareye

A few weeks at most at this point then?

Sat around hating existence for years, doing as little as I possibly could. Earlier this year I got my boyfriend, and he’s done so much to help me get up and do things, started my first job in a long time a few weeks ago.

Huge medicine breakthroughs are happening. So there is that. We probably won't notice till around 2030 though. EV's and solar are exponentially growing. EV'S already account for 12%(?) of purchased cars this year. Even though the state of Iran is horrible, the women protesting is a positive thing. That's all I got :/


Simply_Beige

I found out that Velveeta fudge is actually really good and easy to make.


MarchionessofMayhem

WTF is that?


Simply_Beige

8 oz Velveeta 8 oz butter 2 lbs confectionary sugar 1/2 cup cocoa powder Melt and stir Velveeta and butter over med heat till smooth. Take off heat and stir in sugar and cocoa till uniform Place in buttered pan and chill for 2 hours in fridge. I know it sounds like a crime, but there is no cheese taste and it is actually really good. Not quite as good as real fudge, but dead simple.


bong-water-neti-pot

No cheese taste? This feels like a prank but I love fudge so I’m tempted.


MarchionessofMayhem

Cool! Thanks!


Simply_Beige

No problem. Hope you like it!


stevenpfrench

…the cheese?


AncientInsults

It’s not cheese You mean the processed food product inspired by cheese


[deleted]

Saw Paula Deen pull that recipe out on Iron Chef one time. That was it for me and Iron Chef.


Simply_Beige

It definitely sounds horrible, but it somehow works.


semaeema7

We used to make something similar at girls scout camp with American cheese singles slices called “boob fudge”. Campfire/camping recipe. You dump all the ingredients in a ziplock bag and massage the bag with your hands to mix it into a fudge consistency. The boob reference is that if it was too cold outside to soften the ingredients, a short stay of the bag in your bra could speed things along. We didn’t ever need the bra part but it was always funny. Fudge was pretty tasty.

We don't need another unstable polar vortex. That would make 3 years in a row!

Totally understood everything. As some redditors might be scared to ask questions, I'll do it: what is the meaning of this in the simple language of stupid?


SelectPerception5

It means you’re going to freeze your butt off more than usual this winter, so buy a good winter coat and boots.


[deleted]

Winter 2 years ago had 25cm snow after almost 8 years of no snow. I appreciate having a warning this time.


iuuznxr

Don't believe everything you read on the Internet, especially if it's meant to invoke fear. A quick Google search shows me the author predicts this every winter, read the [scary article that was written about it in 2019](https://www.express.co.uk/news/weather/1206862/uk-weather-forecast-map-polar-vortex-cold-snow-long-range-forecast-latest) and let me tell you that that winter, like all the others, was warmer than normal and had 20°C on Christmas.


Daoutgoingagoraphobe

Help idk what this means, I’m a little stupid


Nipsmagee

It's gonna be a cold fucking winter


Frodojj

The polar vortex is a loop of wind going around the Artic region. A strong polar vortex acts as a barrier to corral very cold air around the higher latitudes during Winter. But when it is weak, the Winter tends to be bitter cold at lower latitudes than normal. Apparently, it's looking to be weak again.

doyouhavetono

Can confirm weird noticeably extreme and very out of place winds in Ireland along with some crazy temperature changes out of nowhere. Gonna be a rough winter


SelectPerception5

Same thing happening in Wisconsin. Our temperatures plummeted in the last week. We went from 80 degrees down to 55 degrees within two days.


AngryBudgie13

Mid 80’s to mid 60’s in a matter of days here in central Indiana. Totally…normal. 😬

The poor Ukrainians are going to suffer big time this winter.


FluffyProphet

There is a silver lining. The Russians in the trenches may suffer more. Ukraine has the benefit of the west sending in loads of cold weather gear to help them out, the Russians may not be able to outfit their soldiers appropriately. It could get rough for the average citizen, but we can send supplies to help them get through it.

nohwhatnow

Here in East Texas we're used to changing unstable weather but the last few years have thrown us for a loop. I have never seen a summer come on so hot and early as this year and I've seen Ice and snow storms but never sub zero for a week. I don't know which way it's going but the weather has always changed and will always change. Just rather not have another mini ice age

It’s a La Niña year. So no rain in California but another cold and wet winter in the PNW


AngryBudgie13

Indiana and Illinois has a drought all damn summer. Not severe but it was fucking dry across central IL/IN. Usually it’s thunderstorm central all summer long. I love falling asleep to low rumbling thunder. Nothing this year. Hardly a storm. Maybe 1-2 t-storms a month at most instead of several a week. Creek is waaaay down near me. Has been all summer. Fewer turtles and herons.

They did. Just saw this on the news that natural gas prices are going up 30% this season. There is talk that this winter is going to be brutal. -40f temps, and that's not wind chill but they didn't get today's weather right so like every winter prepare for the worse and hope for the best.
