jonas’: nearly, it got down to about -30c Friday and Saturday and I had to drive to pick up family cause the roads were awful lol, hope you all are warmer
jonas’
+10°C throughout the weekend
moparisthebest
That's downright balmy
moparisthebest
We did have a white Christmas it's just too cold for the kids to go out and play in it lol
jonas’
uhuh
jonas’
just glad you're ok, I heard of peaks of -50°C which would be straight out of The Day after Tomorrow
moparisthebest
About -45c is the coldest it's ever been here that I've seen, I think it was around 2016, do not want
jonas’
coldest I saw was like -20°C (at night)
moparisthebest
I'd describe it as incompatible with human life
jonas’
makes for pretty pictures of frozen rivers
jonas’
I bet
moparisthebest
Oh yea it's fine to look at from a warm place :P
jonas’
though the folks in sibiria manage somehow
jonas’
yeah
jonas’
the -10 we had a week ago was also only fun for short periods of time
jonas’
until returning into a russian-gas-heated home :/
moparisthebest
My home is all electric and therefore powered by coal :P
jonas’
well.
jonas’
bad in a different way
moparisthebest
One day (tm) solar will be cheap+good enough and then it'll be totally powered by the sun 🤞
jonas’
at least we'll get district heating soon
jonas’
still gas, but at least it's also used to generate electricity
moparisthebest
I guess technically all fossil fuels are solar power just on a different scale
jonas’
well yeah
jonas’
except that they also have that nasty CO2 thing goig✎
