Hey there Supertoast, I was in Chicago on friday ( I was on enemy territory >:) ) Parked in the ramp at Soldier Field. We had tickets for the TUT exibit there at the museum. It was pretty good, but not worth the $53 a ticket. It lacked a few key items that you would expect to be there.

No, that's just the smell of your utter insanity. 

umm..can you send me an umbrella and a supply of food that will last all winter first please? and maybe a small heater... 

I, on the other hand, made it to work in a short-sleeved shirt today. 

Do I smell a snow mod for the server? :D 

I goto school like that in 20 degree wheater, its no biggy...

I'd prolly fit into that catergory. :) Never gotten stuck, but me and one of my friends always go out and have some fun doing some drift turns in the snow.

Many don't drive well when it is dry out, so I shutter at the thought if it snowed in the Bay Area or in L.A. Saw a lot of snow up in the Sierras, though. The deepest I was ever in up there was about five feet of snow. Utah drivers just assume it is not slippery and just tailgate you and drive fast in the middle of a snowstorm.]]> https://www.disastrousconsequences.com/dcforum/posts/list/2734.page#23634 https://www.disastrousconsequences.com/dcforum/posts/list/2734.page#23634 GMT forecast to get 1" of snow, no accumulation. Every store within 20 miles will be sold out of toilet paper and milk, and if it actually does fall, there will be hours of rush hour backups on the Beltway. ...I'm not sure she entirely understood. :))]]> https://www.disastrousconsequences.com/dcforum/posts/list/2734.page#23635 https://www.disastrousconsequences.com/dcforum/posts/list/2734.page#23635 GMT

Sounds cool. Reminds me that I need to dig out my xsnow program. I run *NIX (X11 on NetBSD and Fedora Core), and almost all the time, I have a static image which is either an astrophotograph (I currently have the crab nebula up) or a pic of my best friend, who has been so helpful these past few months when a certain someone else has been a um-hm. But for the month of December, I have typically run xsnow. BTW... I have worked emergency services too many winters, and hate it when a winter storm hits if I have had to go out in it. But I love snow, especially if I can sit inside and look out at the world after a fresh snow fall out in the country. Not here in Columbus though. I am very much a country boy, and and if I could have three wishes, one wish would be to have a huge place (160+ acres , 2500+ sq. ft house) in a very rural section of the midwest, with broadband and a wonderful view from a couch by a fireplace (perfect for cuddling up to that extra special someone). I have an area I have been looking at that a few of you may know from my blogs. But to say the least, the area I am thinking of has 1/10 the population density of the area where the house I grew up and will be inheriting is, and so has much darker skies, etc. As for the other wishes... Oh, and for those of you who love web cams and snow, here are some web cams to keep an eye on. My Uncle Bob and Aunt Nancy live in Cheyenne, where they get so much snow at times, the onramps have gates to prevent folks from getting on the interstates. Web cams for that area can be found here. Of particular interest would be the I-80 summit just west of Cheyenne, which is where the highest point on the transcontential RR was some time back, and is marked with a huge stone pyramid monument which you sometimes see in SUV or jeep commercials!]]> https://www.disastrousconsequences.com/dcforum/posts/list/2734.page#23637 https://www.disastrousconsequences.com/dcforum/posts/list/2734.page#23637 GMT

I am trying to find out from Eathan right now, but if he is on The Ice, reaching him can be really problematic, as there are times they do not have their satellite links from the Pole to the rest of the world. But it is far enough that it is a several minute walk outside of the dome, and far enough that they have to put up ropes and flags. See the link to the deal about the 300 Club in the post. But here is another large graphic which may help. The old dome is the circle right beside the long yellow building below and to the right of the pole. Since each circle is 1000ft, you are looking at probably 1500ft from the dome to the pole, or some 3000+ ft round trip. Far enough to send shivvers up and down my spine!!!]]> https://www.disastrousconsequences.com/dcforum/posts/list/2734.page#23713 https://www.disastrousconsequences.com/dcforum/posts/list/2734.page#23713 GMT
