Kribbles Jan 22, 2026 9:36 AM general

mint Jan 22, 2026 11:56 AM general

they are saying it may hit -50 in ontonagon. we may get as low as -40

Polar_ Jan 22, 2026 11:57 AM general

mint Jan 22, 2026 12:01 PM general

Kribbles Jan 22, 2026 12:15 PM general

I only remember Tech closing twice before - once cuz the mayor lady said Michigan was in some weather crisis or whatever even though it was only -5, and another time when it snowed 3 feet in a day

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 22, 2026 12:15 PM general

mint Jan 22, 2026 12:15 PM general

Spooky Phijkchu Jan 22, 2026 12:16 PM general

Kribbles Jan 22, 2026 12:17 PM general

Well, when I was at school there

mint Jan 22, 2026 12:17 PM general

Kribbles Jan 22, 2026 12:17 PM general

I wasn't around during the father's day flood, not sure if that is what you were referencing

mint Jan 22, 2026 12:18 PM general

most profs excuse absenses when the local school district closes for snow days

Polar_ Jan 22, 2026 12:19 PM general

Replying to Dane #princelydone

what causes this

Water is stored within the trees and when it reaches sub zero temps the ice expands causing the tree to rupture

Polar_ Jan 22, 2026 12:20 PM general

Which is what sub zero does to his enemies in MK aswell I think

Dane Jan 22, 2026 12:20 PM general

thats silly

Dane Jan 22, 2026 12:20 PM general

but also cool

Kribbles Jan 22, 2026 12:22 PM general

How do the trees in Siberia not just explode every year?

Kribbles Jan 22, 2026 12:22 PM general

Or northern canada?

mint Jan 22, 2026 12:23 PM general

no clue

Polar_ Jan 22, 2026 12:23 PM general

I was wondering this, but i imagine they just retain less water since its cold year round, but thats a guess im no arborist

mint Jan 22, 2026 12:23 PM general

different types of trees i assume

Kribbles Jan 22, 2026 12:24 PM general

Mint, I have a very important task for you. Can you go to the porkies and watch the fireworks?

Kribbles Jan 22, 2026 6:12 PM general

Do you guys ever forget to do basic things because it's the weekend? Like, I forget to drink water usually and I will get a headache on 3-day weekends.

polu Jan 22, 2026 6:17 PM general

I'll forget to eat and get dizzy.

even if you have never experienced snow, we literally live in a world where you can look up what snow is

polu Jan 23, 2026 2:55 PM general

I've put sand bags in my car for snow. I know no reason someone would put them in their house

Rusp Jan 23, 2026 2:56 PM general
