    Too late to stop it kids. Do your best, you might slow it, this old man is right behind you until he croaks.

    In the meantime, don’t count on power being available. Learn to live without AC. I got tips but y’all still seem to think you can vote your way out. Do your best, you might slow it

      Don’t tease me. You gotta give us some tips to live without AC. You have any tips on how to live with humidity? Because these wet bulb temps are brutal.

        Live in a house with lots of open windows for cross currents and high ceilings. Place as much below grade as the water table allows. Plant trees around it to shade the house. Move towards the poles and eastward.

    While this is extreme, it also makes me think that most Aussies funny believe that snow exists.

      Yeah. But Australia is in the other hemisphere…

      When’s the last time Texas had a 106 winter day?

          Pffft, that’s practically chilly for January. Americans can’t imagine a 41 degree day in February? What a bunch of wimps!

          Feb 21, 1996… it hit 100 degrees in San Antonio, Texas so it’s done it in Winter as recently as… 30 years ago. (Just made me remember because I was there)

        Christmas hitting 85 is fairly normal now and i might have seen one closer to or maybe just over 90, but definitely never in the 100’s. Maybe out in west Texas it might have reached higher, but a meteorologist would need to dig that data up.

        One the plus side, now I don’t have to read the article. Maybe that was his plan all along.

      Texas summers are only as hot as Australian winters. Guess all that big talk about being badasses was fake, Texans are so fragile they think winter temperatures are hot.

      does it matter at all to you that it’s winter in the southern hemisphere right now (for context, australia is in the southern hemisphere)

      Your statement is not factually incorrect. It’s winter down there in aus though.

      Also maybe to help you out, the earth is actually round, and while the top half is tiled toward the sun, thus summer, the bottom hemisphere is actually winter. It’s incredible really

      I know you’re getting down voted, but I’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were being incredibly shocked. People in Texas call this an average SUMMER day!!!
