My city is frozen
-
I live in Ohio (USA) and we normally get a couple of days of bad then a few of mild. This winter at one point I measured 12 inches of snow which is unusual. Granted compared to what you normally get it is nothing but here it is unusual. Just had a couple of days where it got up to high 40's F, now we are headed back down. To Pawel Gielmuda, I hope you are well and things get back to normal in regard to electricity/weather. djj

Is this normal though? I believe the last 7-8 days - the temperature was 30s-40s in most of Ohio, Illinois and MN. Is this normal for January?

Portsmouth-Southampton in the next round looks like a good game!

I'd rather they were coming up to the Super Sky Blues but your right it should be a good one. I hope Cardiff can deal with Chelsea, would make it very open.

I so want Chelsea out, then that would be the big four gone, and someone who needs the money might win it.

My latest book : C++/CLI in Action / Amazon.com linkFor around here 30-40 F is normal. We usually get one "big" (relative) snow a year but melts in a few days. The saying here in Ohio is "If you don't like the weather, wait a day and it will change." The odd 50 F day is not unheard of, however neither is the occasional -10 F day. Luckily the negative days are very unusual and the warm day not. Being a fair weather motorcyclist I usually can ride a couple of times a month throughout the winter. But not this year, Saturday was my first time since October.

Thanks. I kinda imagined that 80% of January would be sub-32F in these parts.

My latest book : C++/CLI in Action / Amazon.com linkYou need to go about one tier of states north, or west to the Rockies to get that level of winter. Along the lake shores it might stay snow covered due to the lake effect but the actual temps will keep bobbling above to melt part off.

Yeah, that's what I've observed. Chicago did get over a foot of snow earlier this month, but a week fo 40s weather must have melted most of it away.

Thanks - it's good to know all this stuff. I guess I really need to read some high school US geography books.

Yeah, I lived in Ohio for five years (Columbus for most of it). Snow was not too bad, but the freezing rain was a big problem. Was the first time I ever heard of a storm level that closed the roads to the point you were not legally allowed to drive anywhere. The was surprized the first time I came out of work and found my car (Trans Am at the time) coverd in a sheet of ice which I had to work at to break off enough just to get my door open... YIKES.. Two of those years we had a thunder and lightning show on Christmas day :) Out here, typically, those kind of things end in late August and do not return until late June / July... Love the fire flies though, do not have them out here.

Couldn't hurt, but I suspect that most life long southerners aren't entirely sure where the season long snow line is either.

Yeah, I guess a lot of them think places like Chicago are snowed in for 3-4 months :-)

Last year here was the same - almost no snow. And now when we have normal winter everyone especially journalists complains about it :sigh: It's winter. :)
About the same here. We had a normal winter for us about two years ago. Had to clean the snow off the roof five times. At one point we had around 30 inches of snow on the ground for a month or so. http://reflectedthought.com/KlamathFalls/archive/2008/01/31/snow-snow-and-more-snow.aspx[^]

Yep, in my limited experience, driving on ice was several times more dangerous than driving on snow. In fact I had an experience where I had zero control for a few seconds. Luckily there was no other car around me then.

My latest book : C++/CLI in Action / Amazon.com linkJust a few years back I was heading over our mountain pass (something like 6,500 feet) to the bigger city next to us to pickup a new computer. On the way home it had snowed some by the roads were clear, just wet. When I got to the top of the pass, there was a car going really slow, so I passed it only to feel what fell horrible feeling of ice. I pulled over to make sure I did not have semething wrong with my tires and when I stepped out of my car, I about fell on my backside as the road was covered with clear heavy ice. Had an angel watching over me that day for sure ;)

IT doesn't get any better with practice. With good tires you can generally maintain control and momentum as long as you're smart about your velocity/acceleration in snow that isn't higher than your ground clearance. If the roads are generally iced don't even think about going somewhere if it's not borderline life and death and you have chains on your tires. Even then you probably should just stay home.

I just read Pawels answer to Dan Neely, I guess we ought to wish him better electricity than normal.

Last week we had three days of rain. It was kind-of on/off raining, but we did get flooded and my high school's quad area is outdoors and sunken in, so it got flooded with a few inches. Everyone was making paper boats. :)
