"Only"? Sure you don't mean mm?

My mistake. Yes. less than 2"
Whatever's happened to the good old inch? Weather people never ever
refer to it nowadays, even though It's a much more practical unit for
snow depth.

Beside, cm aren't SI units and are to be deprecated.
We should use nanoparsecs... 30mm or so.

1 Parsec = 3.08568025 × 10**16 metres, ITYM attoparsecs?


I just re-read that and of course I meant attoparsecs...just scrolled
down to see if anyone had noticed before I posted a correction!


mm is shorter than attoparsec.
