Yesss, finally the hot air from Sahara migrated to this cold land of mine, minimalizing my winter trauma to the point that I have enough courage to whine about last winter. With pictures. :D
I mean of course human activity has great and not good influence on Earth's environment, but unless global warming means really freezing - like in "The Day After Tomorrow", then by looking on my own backyard I can't see it coming. The increasing number of weather anomalies indicate future ice age rather than tropic.
For examle this past winter. We had first, sudden snow in the middle of October. It is not so normal here. People went to work wearing light clothes and suddenly in a few hours we had calf-deep snow. Driving home with summer tires was fun, I tell you :D. Some plants were still in full bloom, some fruits were not ripe yet, and suddenly everything was covered with white:
And my tomatoes ;_;
Afer that we had really long winter, always cloudy, with big frost and great amount of snow. But since you've seen it all around the world, no funny pictures with me looking for my car under the snow for you ;).
One day, when the frost was rather big, something new happened. It started raining.
Yep, usually with the frost and all you have something white falling from the sky, but not this time.
And the result of water coming down on the cold surface looks like that after just a few minutes:
A few more minutes and trees looked like this:
And this:
And this - look like every needle is surrounded by separate bulb of ice (gee, photobucket doesn't cooperate and has turned this picture):
Many trees broke down under the weight of the ice :(.
Of course some things were normal. Like sunny days. We had them 3 or 4 in almost half of a year.
Or winter sports. Like luring Mary into sleighing and then leaving her in the middle of nowhere :D
And then we had constant rains and thus flood. My city was safe, but other parts of the region suffered greatly.
Thanks to astronaut Soichi Noguchi we could see flooded Sandomierz city from the space. Interesting thing is that the old (very old, like ten centuries) part of the city is intact - it was built on the top of a hill. Our ancestors were smart. The lonely island in the pool of dirty water is a glassworks. People figted very hard to save it, and they made it. At first it looked like the only reason they worked so hard was that they wanted to save their jobs, since when big furnaces were flooded then it would take months to make them work again. But when road connection with the land went underwater they used helicopters to transport products. When asked if it's not too expensive they said that stopping production would be far more expensive because they provided more than half car factories in Europe with car windows. Economic disaster would be much bigger than it's now.
And as for today it is extremely hot. What makes me happy woman :3
