What's more current than the weather? - Page 55

I see city workers, down the street working on water lines. The dumb asses only cover with a few inches of dirt. 14º other night didn't do them any good.

Better lay in some extra batteries and foodstuffs, dwellars in Philly, DC, Boston, and Albany areas ... sounds like Juno will be a nasty one. If the winds are all they're predicting, it won't take much snow to create havoc.

I think it's pretty much missing me. But folks further north are gonna have some fun weather.

National Weather Service just decided that the model that gets me 10-14" is the right one.

If you have loved ones in NYC, Connecticut or Rhode Island, send them Godspeed by Monday afternoon.

I don't even know what that means

I love this. I don't know what it means either, but Godspeed to all in the storm's path.

that's funny, we were at a party last week and I was saying how out of all the American phrases, I particularly like Alphabetize over the British "sort into alphabetical order". So much more efficient. (And how the Americans need to use the word "Fortnight") one guy wanted to swap Alphabetized for "Godspeed" because he liked it. Don't think he really knew what it meant either. I never even realized it was uniquely British. But I don't use it.

60 degrees today, lovely scattered high clouds and a light breeze. I love spring, but I will soon miss winter.

orthodoc · 01-25-2015, 10:17 PM

With respect, what does winter mean in Seattle? Is it 60 degrees and a light breeze? That sounds like paradise.

You dumb bastards, God's-speed... the best speed... crank... meth... they'll need it to shovel 30" of snow.

We're getting weather warnings for mid week. Soooo sick of gale force winds and fucking snow/sleet/rain.

The leak in my bathrom window is getting worse. At some point the landlords will have to come round. Which means a mega cleaning sess on the house. Bleh.

The other week my mum's neighbour's window shattered because of the difference between the cold outside and the warm inside. Apparently this can happen with double glazing. Who knew?

Fortunately no chance of thathappening here. There are that many gaps around the window casings that the temperature differential would never get that high :P I swear the person who sold this house to my landlords did it up with sticky tape and silly putty.

Worst storm, snow, and winds predicted for US northeast states.
Travel is being shut down and actually banned starting
tonight at 11 pm in all of New York state and Connecticut,
and at 12 midnight in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

[/conspiracist

The snow levels and winds predicted for New York and
surrounding states will turn out to be much less than forecast.

Next, we will learn it was only a dress-rehearsal called by the Dept of
Homeland Security to evaluate the preparedness of State governments

We're in the (almost) no-snow zone.

Officially its "long duration light snow"

similar here. Looks like we have about an inch maybe?

At first I thought, huh. But then I thought, huh. It must be that the metal surrounding the window contracts, with the cold, in some way that puts pressure on the glass. Like if the putty gets too firm in the cold?
