FIRE IN THE SKY

1/6/2010 1:53:41 PM

I've seen some ice on the various ponds/lakes in RTP.

Though I'd been told that b/c of global warming this was impossible.

Hence, I must have been seeing things.

1/6/2010 1:54:35 PM

go stand on it, so we know if its safe for vehicle passage

This means nothing

1/6/2010 1:55:41 PM

it wasn't ice that you saw

it was layers of algae, built up from the rising global temperature

1/6/2010 1:56:27 PM

ice in the water, iswydt

1/6/2010 2:03:24 PM

There was ice in Jordan Lake this morning. A flock of gulls were standing on it.

1/6/2010 2:03:46 PM

I thought I saw ice both in Falls Lake, and in Kerr Lake today, also thought I was full of shit, guess there might have been something to it.

1/6/2010 2:06:34 PM

you've been to both Falls and Kerr today?

wow

1/6/2010 2:09:34 PM

parts of the sound in the KDH area have been frozen since Saturday.

1/6/2010 2:11:23 PM

It's been WELL below freezing every night for over a week. This shouldn't be a huge surprise to most of you people.

1/6/2010 2:12:10 PM

^^JESUS

beaver lake near my house in asheville is almost 100% frozen over (just a patch in the middle wasn't as of yesterday, it probably froze overnight though). but then, it hasn't been above 28 degrees up here since the morning 1/1/10.

1/6/2010 2:16:49 PM

Yeah, live in Durham, work in Clarksville, VA.

1/6/2010 2:17:25 PM

^^^please tell me which part of my statement is incorrect, or should I assume that most people in this thread are from tropical islands and don't know what happens below 32°F?

1/6/2010 2:19:14 PM

I went ice skating on the baltic sea earlier today

1/6/2010 2:19:44 PM

man that's badass. i haven't skated on a natural body of water since I was 7

1/6/2010 2:20:25 PM

i must admit, i was pretty nervous when we got half a mile or more from shore.

1/6/2010 2:26:07 PM

pics or it didn't happen

We (should) all know what happens when the water itself drops below a freezing point.

But the air <32F != water <32F. You know this. That's why I rolled my eyes.

NC has cold snaps...not regularly but not infrequently. Yet, our lakes and ponds and shit don't get to icing over nearly as often as those cold spells happen.

I'm headed to the airport. With the moon so big still, if there's ice to be had, nighttime shots will be nice, so I'm throwing my camera and tripod in my car.

confirmed.

It sounds so nice in the wind, too.

1/6/2010 5:10:09 PM

uh... why was this shocking or unbelievable to you? there is ice everywhere.

if you want to see something cool go check out the fountain in the renaissance park neighborhood

1/6/2010 5:17:52 PM

I dunno
maybe because it's a fucking lake, instead of a puddle or aboveground pool?

1/6/2010 5:19:02 PM

i mean i would challenge you to find a lake that doesn't have ice on it. water freezes when it gets cold

while I know you are just trying to make a point, please don't be ignorant about it


global warming works in both directions (extreme colds come with it as well)

1/6/2010 5:26:47 PM

reminds me of the global cooling scare of the 70's

1/6/2010 5:27:19 PM

we cruise through thin patches of ice headed out trout fishing in the early mornings in the brackish creeks on the NC coast every winter

the old boat was a POLAR with the huge decal down the side. it had scrapes all along the rear letters from the ice.

Is that hambrosia??

1/6/2010 8:44:02 PM

there wasn't any ice in lake raleigh this day:

1/6/2010 8:47:53 PM

that guy's reaction after getting out was like as calm as when the kid in the sandlot got stuck with the exploding vacuums

1/6/2010 8:49:27 PM

where is the god damn TWW helicopter?

1/6/2010 8:51:00 PM

[Insert roflcopter pic here]

1/6/2010 9:02:05 PM

I remember in elementary school when Lake Lynn froze enough for ice skating

1/6/2010 9:03:05 PM

where is the god damn TWW helicopter?

1/6/2010 9:03:36 PM

nothing pissses me off more than people using cold weather to try and debunk global warming. especially the hillbillys on the radio around here. Gosh the south can be so ignorant sometimes.

1/6/2010 9:05:19 PM

release the entire crew

WOOOOOOOOOT!

TWW HELICOPTER IN THE FUCKING HOUSE

1/6/2010 9:11:40 PM

the pond down the street from my folks' house is only four feet deep, and more than half of it is shaded nearly all day

i'm hoping it gets frozen enough to skate on

that would rule so hard

1/6/2010 9:12:22 PM

Lake Crabtree is almost covered in ice.

I'll take good photos as soon as I get a new tripod.

1/6/2010 9:35:53 PM

Cmon guys, everyone knows that one cold winter in the USA completely DEBUNKS global warming!

1/6/2010 10:05:48 PM

^or 3 significantly cold ones in a row.

True, but it sure is funny when the mainstream media reports all the time about global warming related heat waves and then is pretty silent about it all when its abnormally cold. Sure it's not right to do it b/c weather /= long term trends. But it just shows the ridiculous bias.



Anyway, HAY GUYZ every morning when I go to work the ground is frozen in my yard...what's up with that???

Wolf Village storm drainage ponds are frozen. Wonder what the muskrats are doing?

1/6/2010 10:31:16 PM

Definitely need to go there this weekend before it warms up, that sounded awesome.

HAY GUYS, I heard that if the temp drops below 32 tonight something white and fluffy might fall from the sky...what do you call that stuff again?
