I want snooooow.

[eighthcloud.livejournal.com]

most adorable entry ever.

[arib.livejournal.com]

Enjoy, it'll be blitzing me soon enough.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I should try to keep them all down to one word and a happy noise, then. :)

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I can now say from experience that snow is cold, and wet, and gorramn pretty.

[eighthcloud.livejournal.com]

Have you never had snow before?

And no, I quite enjoy all your posts. But this one was crazyadorable.

[liadlaith.livejournal.com]

It's crunchy underfoot, too, if there's enough of it.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Not even once.

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Snow is nice when it doesn't happen often. Then it can be special.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I think the first time ever is special.

[liadlaith.livejournal.com]

In that case, your entries for the next couple of months would be limited to:

"Cold! Brr!"
"Howard! Rar!"
and
"Serenity! EEEEEEEEEEE!"

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I think I already broke the rule, but I would've anyway for 'Rogue senator! HA!'

[liadlaith.livejournal.com]

Rogue senator? Is this the dopey so-and-so thing?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

This is the National Party senator planning to vote against Coalition bills, most notably the VSU one.

[liadlaith.livejournal.com]

Senator Barnaby Joyce? The one Bill Heffernan called a "dopey so-and-so".

[liadlaith.livejournal.com]

Wait, no, not Heffernan, it was some other guy - Wilson Tuckey?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I didn't hear anything about that bit.

[liadlaith.livejournal.com]

Linkage! (http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/dopey-claim-sinks-coalition-relationship-to-new-low/2005/08/10/1123353378620.html)

I want snowwwww but it's 80 outsiiiiide. It is raining though. Rain is happy too, but not nearly as happy as snow.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Most excellent... and it exactly follows what I was saying back in my commentary on the Senate. Whee!

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I like storms; lightning's pretty, even if it means I have no Internet for a bit.

Snow was pretty, and fun. I hope there's more.

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Yes, definitely!

But then if it doesn't happen often (which, let's face it, is NEVER AT ALL in Sydney, so I must go elsewhere for my "yay, snow!" habit), you can redefine "first" again and again:--

First time on holiday; first time overseas; first time at a new home; first time this year; first time today...

...happy snow all the time! Unless it turns into sleet. Sleet is evil.

[theshadowlurker.livejournal.com]

Move to Michigan and there will be more. We had snow until... oh I can't remember, April or maybe even May. After spring break. It was wonderful.

[leila82.livejournal.com]

*covets the snow*

It's over 90 degrees here, so there is no snow to be had.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

90°? Inconceivable!

Oh... wait. °F, not °C.

[leila82.livejournal.com]

Sorry, forgot to specify units. 90 C would be intolerable. 90F is nasty enough as it is. Now I really want that snow.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

*nodnods* My first thought when I hear about hundred-degree temperatures in the US is that some people there exaggerate everything and then I remember that our temperature scales only meet up at... -42°, isn't it?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I've never been sleeted upon. This is an experience I do _not_ wish to have.

[mrpyro.livejournal.com]

-40°, according to the quick scribbled bit of maths I just did.

[leila82.livejournal.com]

Meanwhile, I've been wondering what would happen to us if the outdoor temp actually reached 100°C - would our bodies start boiling, as the majority of it consists of water, or would the all the dissolved substances keep us around for a few more degrees. We would, I think, be dead by this point anyway, and so it really wouldn't matter.

[mrpyro.livejournal.com]

Even if the external temperature was 100°C, your body's core temperature would still be cooler, since the body has a number of mechanisms for reducing your body temperature. Sustained exposure such a high temperature would certainly defeat such mechanisms, resulting in the following:

If the core temperature reaches 41°C (106°F), enzymes begin to fail and thermoregulatory mechanisms breakdown. The victim has a rapid and strong pulse, exhibits psychotic behavior, and may slip into unconsciousness. Symptoms at a core temperature of 41°C (106°F) or higher constitute heat stroke (or sunstroke), a life-threatening emergency.

Basically, you'd go crazy, pass out, then all your organs would fail. Lovely.

[justwallpaper.livejournal.com]

Where do you live? O.o

[justwallpaper.livejournal.com]

I love your icon.

Would you believe that I'd just spent time racking my brains thinking of a good quote from Amelie?

[liadlaith.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thank you, it's the work of the wonderful cunien.

Would you believe that I'd just spent time racking my brains thinking of a good quote from Amelie?

I like "Fur pie doesn't sell," myself ; )

[nyctanessa.livejournal.com]

I don't remember my first time. ;.;

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

You don't remember when you lost your weatherginity to the snowiness?

[nyctanessa.livejournal.com]

*nod* And I don't know whether I should be sad or pleased about this.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Well... it got me to make up a word for you, if that helps. I could *hug* you to share your happiness or to help with your pain, I suppose.
