Look into recently declassified cia files, about how (during the cold war), the ussr tested/used Scalar weapons on the US (possibly, others too?). With one, trying to effect the weather. By using a Scalar weapon that dropped the tempurature to zero (in a specific location). It'll wake you up, to a part of the 'cold war' you were probably unaware of (kept secret by disinfomation). These weapons can have various effects. One of them, is Time dilation. This isn't star trek, this is technology of the now. And many countries research it in secret ...
I was spreading cow slurry near Newport ,Monmouthshire,it was so cold it wouldn't pump out of the tower until we stirred it all night. The wind chill outside the milking parlour read -17. It wasn't a terrjble time,as the pub was open 24/7 😂
I was a professional DJ at this time, and am very proud of the fact that I never missed aa gig, whether a mobile disco or working in nightclubs. In fact I received more bookings because of my attitude of never saying, "No, I can't go out in this weather". And I was still doing wedding receptions throughout. I got to the hotels when over half of the guests didn't.
@@hmmmmm2634 If the weather is bad, do you dodge work? Do you get paid if you do? Are you a trained and experienced paramedic? Do you carry a First Responders kit at all times? Do you have internal and rooftop strobes fitted to your car/van, legally? Do you carry two types of fire extinguishers, large size? Do you carry two warning triangles? Do you carry tripod mounted strobe lights to place in the road? Do you carry, in the weather above, a snow shovel, wear the proper clothes and footwear for the conditions? Do you carry blankets and foil thermal blankets? Do you carry shake and throw Snap lights in Red, yellow and green? Are you an experienced mountaineer, who was a member of an MRT, and was the medic for that Team? Do you carry a Thermos flask, plus extra water and a water heater, plus extra cups? I fully expect the answers to all of those questions is NO! You are not even a trained First Aider, don't carry a first aid kit, as required by law, don't carry a warning triangle, and certainly ever carry spare Hi-Viz for any victims. By the way, GOD is capital letters. The phrase "For GOD'S sake"! is correctly typed as I have it here. I have driven ambulances in blizzard and deep snow conditions, on Blues and Two's. Don't judge others by your own miserable townies standards, scared to go out in a shower of rain. And you, clearly, have never worked self-employed. WTF, do you think PROFESSIONAL means? Cretinous ORC.
I have to say that where once I found I could leave the TV on one of the main rolling news channels,mostly BBC News,in the last seven or eight years it almost always seems to be a matter of time before something comes on that makes me think "oh,sod off!" and change the channel to get away from them. On commercial news channels that's more often than not certain adverts. I suppose it ensures that I regularly view news coverage from a minimum of five different channels,some more than others.
January 1987 was luxury. We lived through the winter of 1947. In my day, we kept warm by burning shoes, books, homework, the garden shed and floorboards, if we were lucky. It was character-building. And you could leave your front door unlocked, if you hadn't burnt all the doors in your house to heat up thin gruel first!
We might have been cold, but we were happy. We were happy, because we were cold. The snowflake generation wouldn't have coped in January 1987. We were much tougher back then. Dad would cook a full English breakfast using body heat, if we were lucky!
I won't forget it. Three feet of snow and 15-foot drifts buried my entire town. Awesome whiteouts and sledging has never been better. Plus seeing ice packs flow down the Thames was surreal.
This was recommended to me by RU-vid the day before an extreme heat warning of 40 degrees centigrade for the largest cities in England. Luckily I live in the country!!!
I went arce over tit on my bicycle riding in the snow then I hit the road , with no snow! That’s when I learned what black ice was, slid into a snow drift
Still remember shagging on the back seat though, ironically in the same model of car that's in the thumbnail and @ 9:01,kept the engine running and heater on and the doors locked, I wasn't going without my nookie I can tell you
One of only two occasions my school closed due to snow (the other was November 1995 I think), and even then at lunchtime. Nowadays schools just shut as a matter of course if there is any snow at all.
We already know that global warming is taking place but they can't stop themselves laying the doomsday cult stuff on with a shovel on every report,can they?
I remember Coast to Coast very well. Mike Debens was a great presenter. He seemed to disappear from view a few years into the Meridian franchise. I wonder what happened to him? That theme tune was very upbeat, but the graphics in the title sequence were rather unpolished (especially the rainbow coloured sun beams!). That all changed later in 1987 when CGI arrived and the programme got a whole new slick look which served it well right up to the last day of the TVS era.
Imagine the daily Express headlines now if we were expecting a cold spell like this, - 50 freeze on the way with 40ft snow drifts, and it could last six months with snow as late as July.
We were snowed in, in our village in Kent. The army dropped in milk and bread by helicopter. I queued for hours for my half a loaf ration. And it was my birthday and there was no post lol. I was 26
@PRO PAINTER PRO DEC: Yes it can freeze, but unlike Freshwater it freezes at lower temperatures. Fresh Water at 32 degrees F. and Salt Water ie the Sea at 28.4 degrees F.
