The other day I was watching the day after tomorrow on television. A good movie! After the show I wonder:

What should you do if that really hit Earth??? Most people died in the show because they never see it coming. (who would have thought there will be a big wave in the middle of the city!!! )

Ok lets just say you never watch the show and you manage to escape from the big wave and flooding. you heard a rumour that it is going to be freezing soon and it will last a few days. So what will you do? Other than the common thing of get everything warm and the ablity to retain heat close to you and some supplies. Would you stay and wait it out or would you walk out?

A few of you might know the outcome of walking out but lets just say you really do not know what will happen if you walk out. What will your first instinct be? To stay or not to stay?

The day after tomorrow where will you be?
 
I would call my friends in Panama and undertake and extended journey.
I might actually be far enough south to avoid the worst and just bug in. Arctic temperatures don't worry me much over the short haul. Just have to break out the snowmobile suits, snow shoes and heavy parkas (Its only 9 deg below zero as I write this and not yet cold enough for the heavy coats, unless I decide to go camping). No need to walk out I have a jeep that is capable of driving out
We go into the mountains after blizzards just to see how stuck we can get. It is possible to drive over the top of the snow if you can keep the wheel speed up, it helps to air down into the 2 to 4 psi range (but you had better screw the tires onto the rims).
Enjoy!
 
The last couple days have been around -45-50 C (including windchill) and if you make it even colder with even more snow...Winnipeg becomes the latest glacier. Strangely enough it's going up to a balmy -9 tommorow. Maybe global warming is a good thing :D .
 
Until it's under water because of the melting of the polar ice caps, which will cause the desalination of the oceans which will shift or completely stop the gulf stream which will lead to the next ice age. Global warming causes global cooling and it is happening right now, don't throw those warm clothes out just yet. Chris

Especially the east coast and europe.

snow camo anyone?:D

Oh and wanted to add, recent core ice and ocean floor research indicates that ice ages have happened alot QUICKER that previously assumed ...as in they can happen in just (I've heard both as quick as 2-3 years and 10 years)

So, regardless of whether you refuse to believe that the recent climate changes are anthropogenic in origin or not....it could be getting COLD real quick.

Yes, it was a good movie in some ways. Some of the stuff was quite creative. Especially some of the special effects. The audience is allowed much more information than the charactors, so not knowing anything but what was in the script, I'd likely be a popsicle. Or a wolf. I always wanted to play the part of a vicious killer wolf where people had no guns. Of course they became wolfcicles. It was in the script.

Global warming and cooling as I have said before, is a natural cycle. Hominids may dig our bones from the frozen tundra for knife handles in 10,000 years. I prefer mammoth ivory myself. Mammothcicles. When I was a child, I had a cousin in Baltimore who was curator of the Peale Museum. They had this huge painting that facinated me. It was painted by Charles Wilson Peale in 1806, titled "Exhumation of the mastadon". I studied this painting for hours on end. Curious facts related by my cousin made it come to life. The artist had included himself and his relatives as charactors in the painting.

OK, so, in the movie, I'll make sure I keep my distance from Codger,
as he might just take a bite outta someone before becoming a canine freezer treat. ;)
 
haha yup gobal warming may be a fire can hurt you or help you. They say this year in Singapore will be the hottest so far but then Singapore is hot all year round so what the difference?? other than the rain which falls until there are partial flooding in Singapore i just say its just the new year..

fuk me mate thats freezing the worst we have here is about -8 C

i personly would bug out i feel that i know enough about flammible liquids and gasses:) and have enough around me due to work.
 
I would probably be at the hospital where I work...provided that the hospital was still standing and not flooded.

And if worse came to worse if would not be that bad.
After all, there are alot of hot nurses there and we also have the best drugs in town!:D
 
I'd not be one to rush off half cocked to outwalk the storm. First I'd make preps to stick it out, THEN would concetrate on preparing for a move if/when it became clear the storm was here to stay. As I remember some folks went off ill prepared and didn't get far.
