The drive home sucked with wind gusts blowing the van all over the road for about 300 of the 600 miles home. Damn wind gusts changed direction too. I never had the wind to my back. |

OT - Anybody in the Northest? Digging?
Talked to my Dad on the phone, suburb of Rochester. He says
tha the drifts went from enarly zero to up about six inches. When I left for church, the door step across the street, I could see about 3 inches snow. I had about an inch on the top of the truck. On the way home, I was going about 30 MPH in a 65 MPH zone. I must have touched the gas a bit, instantly the truck was fish tailing severely. Went off the road. Lucky me, no aparent damage, and I was able to back onto the highway. Facing the wrong way, naturally. Got turned around, and went home much more slowly than before. I'm still a bundle of nerves. The roads are bad. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Red Green" wrote in message ... Talking to my Main Squeeze in northern VT.

From what I hear, few miles west across Lake Champlain as well as like 15 mi east saw what you saw. Burlington, in the middle, had 33 as of this afternoon. |

We only got a few inches today (upstate NY) but there was no point in shoveling as it was blowing all over. Every time you looked out the window there was a new drift pattern. The back deck is completely clear while there's about 2 feet jammed up against the front door and huge drifts on the walkway. I'll try again tomorrow! |

Global Warming?????????????? Combination of El Nino, and the Arctic Oscillation and North Atlantic Oscillation status being low, along with a northern track storm and southern track storm combining around Maine - now a major large persistent storm centered around or just east of Nova Scotia, only a little far west or west-southwest from where the "Icelandic Low" would be when the North Atlantic Oscillation status is "low". The 5 major indices of global temperature are not hard to find. The one least-showing-warming is known as "UAH". It is the University of Alabama Huntsville determination of lower troposphere temperature trends from MSU/AMSU satellite data, current version is "5.2". The following link is to a graph of this record since it started with January 1979, as presented in the personal website of Dr. Roy Spencer, one of the 2 PhD professors in charge of this - and Spencer is notably a skeptic of anthropogenic global warming: http://www.drroyspencer.com/latest-global-temperatures/ As of end of 2008, that global temperature trend index achieved a full 30 years with warming trend over that stretch of about .23 degree F per decade - significant should it be sustained or worse-still increase over this century. (Although the next 20 years will likely have close to no warming due to a natural cycle being in a downturn.) - Don Klipstein ) |
