I remember once in high school and then once at Purdue where the temps were about 20 below, with 40-60 below wind chill. 

I don't miss it.

From New York City to the coast of Maine, record-breaking high tides in part fueled by the climate crisis brought destruction to the U.S. northeast on Saturday with roads flooded, infrastructure destroyed, and historic buildings washed out to sea—a horrifying preview of what scientists say will become all the more frequent if humanity continues its refusal to end the era of fossil fuels.

In downtown Portland, Maine the areas along the harbor and waterfront piers were inundated with unprecedented flooding. The city's vibrant Old Port was underwater in many places with extensive damage to buildings, businesses, and infrastructure.

While a storm system was blowing through southern Maine, bringing heavy winds and rain, the region has experienced much larger and powerful storms. According to the local CBS affiliate, "The Portland tide gauge settled out at 14.57 feet. That's the highest tide ever recorded in Portland."

Major coastline flooding was also reported in New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire.


The coastal flooding in the northeast—which brought unseasonal heavy rains in regions much more accustomed to snow this time of year—came as the central states of the country experienced icy cold temperatures due the polar vortex phenomenon that scientists also attribute to the climate crisis.

I don't know much about record-breaking high tides.
I am in the middle of the polar vortex so, a little experience.

I'm not sayin they are wrong about climate change attributing to the polar vortex.
I just have a question.......
since we didn't break a low record at negative 18 this morning, what attributed to the previous record low and what did they call it?

I'd love to see a temp today of above zero.
Prolly too much to ask for, but single negative digits are wat better than double digits below zero.

still not going outside

not even to caucus for Trump!
