Suddenly Athens is "the globe"?!?! Also, the beaches aren't "blanketed". That's what I'd call a "dusting".
Did you look at the photo of the BEACH in the link, it is completely covered in white. Meanwhile it is a RARE snowfall for the city of Athens as pointed out in the link:"Residents of the Greek capital of Athens woke on Tuesday to rare snowfall …."
Here is a report in areas of the Northern Hemisphere getting a lot of cold and snow right now over at this THREAD I just posted the latest examples in
Not very thick, but that can be matter of what you're used to. Doesn't have any bearing on my first sentence, however. Gore doesn't comment on weather reports. In my experience those who know the subject, discuss it; those that don't, bring up Gore.
You said it was "dusting" I corrected you, then you reply with a backtrack "Not very thick", Thus you were
wrong. You have poor eyes. You said "suddenly Athens is the globe? " (strawman attempt) which no one said it was, I then corrected you by showing that large areas of Northern Hemisphere are getting whacked with cold and snow, a lot of it heavy, INCLUDING the Mediterranean region. The link here talked about a LOT of record lows in the region. You are dishonest. You complained that Gore doesn't do weather (which no one said he does, another strawman attempt on your part) If you bothered to look and read the link, you would (hopefully) understand why Al $$$ Gore's name was dragged in from left field, even though he was not mentioned at all in the link, even heard of Sarcasm, no? You are not a bright man.
Whatever, it certainly isn't "blanketing" and is rather irrelevant because snow does not necessarily indicate cooling. The average temp can go from 20 F to 25 F and you'll still get snow. As a matter of fact you may get more, because warmer air will hold more moisture. If you're so much smarter, refute THAT.
THAT amount of snow in ATHENS GREECE is very unusual, that is the point you ignorantly goofed on.
It was widespread cold and snow that is unusual for the whole Mediterranean region, that you also failed to consider.
It was way COOLER than usual for the region, thus your argument you made is dead on arrival:
"The average temp can go from 20 F to 25 F and you'll still get snow."
The whole region was COLDER than usual, which is WHY they got all that snow instead of the usual rain ATHENS normally get. Hell I TOLD you this fact earlier with evidence, you ignored it with your pointless 20 to 25F and still get snow argument which was IRRELEVANT in this case since it was
MUCH COLDER than usual in Greece!
From the link you couldn't have read since you missed this fact:
"Athens beaches buried in snow as
temperatures across Greece hit record lows"
emphasis mine
and,
"In northern Greece, where an
all-time low of -23 C was recorded in the city of Florina, highways, rail and bus services were disrupted."
emphasis mine
You didn't bother to watch the VIDEO in the link that showed areas of
HEAVY snow cover in Greece some of it in Athens, stop being dumb over this!
Wake up!
