Anonymous Coward User ID: 27972246 United States 12/24/2012 12:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If the earth has been shifted off it's axis by a mere 2O degrees, the new polar Arctic region would now be within these zones: Quoting: skyblau Russia, Iceland, Finland, Greenland, Britain, Part of France, Germany, Czech Republic, etc etc. If you have a protractor start the center on Iceland and draw a big circle around it. I don't have a protractor, so I am guessing, it covers much of Europe, Part of Russia, etc. It will be like the movie "Day after tommorow" there. The warmer climates will be elsewhere now, with the equator being changed too. This video will help you visually. Easy to just use a hard global of the Earth and not some graphic video. Oh, and that 20 degree change in tilt can be centered anywhere along the current 20N /20S latitude, not just the one point shown in that video, which is good enough to get the idea of the effect. |

Sir France's Beercan User ID: 1245590 Austria 12/24/2012 12:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That would be a helluva temperature drop if you are at 20C right now... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22958406 I do much larger temperature drops than that. Get smashed on beer and schnaps, in an alpine bar (25 centigrade) then walk outside into a blizzard at minus 20. It makes the walk home interesting. |
Snuffielover User ID: 22962224 Russia 12/24/2012 12:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The only issue so far is that one of our water taps froze, so I had to run some hot water through the neighbor pipe to heat them all up. Leaving a fine stream of water going from both taps now. Moving water doesn't freeze until like -30 C here. But then it'll take until spring to re - thaw. Or maybe until next week, we are promised rapid warming until +2 degrees Celsius and heavy snow / freezing rain. Oh well, at least we'll have a white New Year. Merry Christmas everyone! If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a "peace conference," you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and aeroplanes. |

Every year, the idiotic doomtards run up here and "it's an ice age, I tell you!" Every fracking year. Only you see, the cold gives way to warmth of spring soon and then they are gone again, off to parts unknown. Sleeping will the next autumn to crawl out of their holes again? |

Quoting: suvalley It gets colder than that here in Alaska, I have a friend out in the Bush, she's had -65 already, several times. It gets colder in Antarctica, I've been told. No thanks! There is an interesting anthology of literature to be contemplated - responses to environmental extremes. In this context, Jack London's 'To Light a Fire' springs to mind, along with Robert Graves's 'Old Papa Johnson'. There are also some great chillingly cold moments in Martin Cruz Smith's 'Polar Star', especially Karp's suicide, stripping off in the snow and diving down through a seal's breathing-hole in the ice-sheet into the freezing waters of the gulf below, blowing out all his breath as he descends into the darkness. A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich was pretty damn chilly, too.. Can GLPers recommend any other frosty gems? |

WindyMind User ID: 955168 United States 12/24/2012 04:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Russian Wiki says.. With an extreme subarctic climate (Köppen climate classification Dfd), Yakutsk has the coldest winter temperatures for any city, though not for any inhabited place, on Earth. Average monthly temperatures range from +19.5 °C (67.10 °F) in July to −38.6 °C (−37.5 °F) in January, and only Norilsk has a lower mean annual temperature for any settlement of over 10,000. Reuters seems to be the source of all this and the only source so I am thinking they accidentally put a 1 in front of -37.5 F. |
