I do not understand flat roof buildings here either. My school is.
That house is not bad, rain and snow melt would run off it.

Here in South Dakota, we're forecasted to get above zero today! A whopping high of 2 degrees (although I doubt the "feels like" will be that warm)

I'm ready for Spring... or at least some balmy 20s-30s.

I spent some time in S. Dakota construction staking and building a pipeline. It was one of the colder places I worked but the Minnesota near Canadian border was numero uno and wins so far.

Id still take it anyday over summer and humidity of Louisiana after the floods receded from Katrina. Miles of flooded out muddy sugarcane fields that smelled of dead shad and squiters as big as dragonflies and gators. You would hoof in from roads you could access and get as close to sites as you could carry all you could on your back then hoof back and restock. The Pipeline company hired locals to watch for gators and dispatch if need be. They lasted 1 payday so we strapped sidearms. I was never so happy to be transferred to Oklahoma on another project.

I'd be interested to hear if all these extreme cold has done even the tiniest thing to help the glaciers in the arctic?

I'll assume the answer is "no, so we have to go the AOC route", but it would be nice to see the pics that prove the glaciers didn't change at all, and even got worse. You know, doomsday scientists... They're fun to watch sometimes..

The recent extreme cold is due to cold air migrating south from the arctic. So the arctic is currently warmer than normal. Arctic ice is at its 3rd lowest point since humans started taking satellite measurements.

New year lows once again
January 7, 2019

As 2018 came to a close, Arctic sea ice extent was tracking at its third lowest level in the satellite record, while sea ice in the Antarctic remained at historic lows. Slightly faster growth in the first few days of the new year, mostly in the Pacific sea ice areas, has the daily sea ice extent at fifth lowest as of this post.

So its lowest point in about 50 years, on a planet that is 5.5 billion years old?

As I expected, basically there's nothing we can do.

So it's the lowest in all of the whopping 40 years we've been measuring it?!?! Oh no, we're doomed!!!!
