Mexico City officals are going bezerk because of the weather, it is cold apparently. Its so cold that school was cancelled across many boroughs.
This was yesterday, today its colder.
Not that you snow monsters would understand this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Who cancels school because it’s cold? We only cancel when the busses can’t move.

The government of the federal district does.

I kinda get it... I mean if you don’t get that cold, then you probably don’t have the clothes for it, so not going (or sending your kids) out is probably the smart thing to do.
On the other hand, 3C...

I think it should be up to the schools and the PTA committees but it makes sense. I would encourage schools getting climate control thought. But, I for once I’m happy because there’s gonna be way less traffic than usual today.

Good. I wouldn’t go out in 3 degree weather either. Fuck that.
Also, 3d in Mexico City, but 47d here in Orlando? Go home, Earth’s weather. You’re drunk.

when it’s-35c school is cancelled here.

School kids ok.... what is the effect on cartel? Have they frozen solid? Can we snap them off like icicles and stick em in jail or something?

It’s 3 degrees centigrade. At the moment we’re at 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cartels don’t come to Mexico City, probably because of the wierd ass weather.
I do think that it will be a way safe day because muggers won’t go out in this weather or rain.

Although I do believe the Cartel Govt. Also canceled cartel activities and requested they stay inside and remain comfortably high on their own supply of Coke

Just 37 degrees to go!

45? Shiiiiit, that’s t shirt weather here in Metro Detroit.

Oh. Well yeah, that is silly.

We normally do delays so kids don’t have to stand in the dark in the cold. Sometimes if wind chill dips below zero they may cancel school but that’s hardly ever unless they just want to use a built in snow day.

Again, you guys are snow monsters.
Remember that most buildings in Mexico City do not have climate control.

Yup.
Im freezing my ass but still.. silly

well it is -21c right now.
and even if it’s -45 I still have to go to work
yes we do get a few -45 and colder here
![]() 01/31/2018 at 08:54 |
|
If it ever gets to -45 here we simply die.
We don’t have the infrastructure to keep buildings warm enough for humans to live even at -20 I bet.

my winter boots are rated at -45
here it’s just a way of life. my favorite time to go snowmobiling is when it’s about -25c

Here in the Seattle area, that’s socks and sandals weather...

I like cold weather, its just that if you’re used to 11 degrees being cold, then it’s a bit of an issue.
I guess that if we lived in a colder climate we’d adapt as you did, but we don’t.
I like snowmobiling too, even if I suck at it.

Mexico City is high enough in altitude that I thought it could actually snow there on rare occasions, even though it is also a very dry location.

I think the Canadian way of life is Fuck you winter! you know the saying, if you can’t beat them, join them.

It did once in 1967 and it was a mess.l because we don’t have the infrastructure to clean it.
It just happens that we have really dry and cold winters and really hot and humid summers, were the rolls replaced we could have a healthy amount of snow and sub zero temps for the whole of winter, because on first snowfall the ground would chill and that would make the temperature colder, upon another snowfall it would start reflecting sunlight back preventing heating, so on and so on.
Many parts of the city today had sleet and the main highway to Toluca had some ice sections together with some sections with actual snow.
But the city? Nah.

That’s t shirt weather in Tennessee for me!

While I was in school here in Tennessee, they cancelled once because it got down to 5 or so and they couldn’t keep the school warm and a pipe burst in another.

I wish it was that warm here, it’s around 32 F or 0 C, and it’s been colder past few weeks, with wind chill around -28 F or -33 C

I wonder if they happily yelled out - SNOW DAY
Cartel didn’t have to go to work that day. No one died that day.

Oh, man! That’s rough. It was 5c in December when I was filling up my rental by the Leon airport. I felt so bad for the poor Pemex guy that I tipped him really well.

Quite.
The insuring snowballfights were tremendously expensive

We’re not used to this.
A sure way to spot a Mexican in the US is by average number of layers in winter.

It was 42 F or 5 C here last Friday and I had the windows open in my car! Though, I’m from Wisconsin and currently still here so I fully realize how weird I am. 5 C felt like summer though haha! We’ve had a pretty cold winter so far. It’s been about 15 F or -9 C, but it got to -8 F or -22 C without windchill in December! It was so cold the hatch struts in my car started to not support the lift gate- never had that happen before. Also, excellent song choice!

Next song was “cold cold cold” by cage the elephant
Appropriate.

Cage the Elephant, now there’s a solid band (though they were more entertaining live before the lead singer cleaned up and went all preppy).

I’d rather have mental health than entertainment but I cannot disagree with you.

Agreed, not saying he should go back, it was just very strange seeing two shows in an 18 month period (or so) that were so incredibly different but the same band/music. Either way, great band.

Amazing musical grasp. I can’t believe that the same band that made “aint no rest for the wicked” also made “spiderhead”
