I figured that, but any excuse to toss in some Monty Python!
Now go away or I will taunt you a second time!

Snow...Cape Cod
Minute long 6.9 earthquake last evening (pretty mellow for a 6.9. though -- epicenter 50 miles directly off the coast)
Earthquake weather?
Earthquake weather?
Had to be an attention grabber. We've got folks in Eureka.....so, I'm sure they got woke up too.
Suppose to be in the 80's today in So Cal......UGH.....is it the start of summer already?
The quake lasted about a minute, but was more or a rock and roller than a jolt, so little damage reported -- I lost the sugar jar when it fell off the top of the fridge. A roll of exposed 120 film fell off the shelf -- hope the latent images are still okay (LOL!)
Some aftershocks still happening but most under 4 and hardly felt.

Yep, been through all types myself over the years between living in So Cal and Alaska. They all seem to have their own signature of sorts....:alien:
They may have changed positions on the roll, but I'm sure they're all still there......
Nah--it ain't summer till it hits at least 90!
And the ocean water hits 70F! (never gets much past 55F here in NorCal).
I was back in Los Angeles for three days and I had to put up with day time temperatures in the 70s and 80s.

Yep, as I thought. Seattle native...

Well I have the checked shirt and the ripped jeans to go with the Nirvana t shirt....

How do you dress
You guys who live in extreme weather conditions on this planet, how do you dress for it? Or how do you cope. A friend in Australia told me that when it was 44° C in the shade and difficult to breathe, she put damp towels in the freezer and then they could lay on them and that seemed to help. Also, do you guys in Miami all dress like Don Johnson?

@cliveh - For cold extremes - layers. This year, I rediscovered my Duofold brand long undies. And flannel-lined jeans. But it isn't really extreme here, there are colder spots.
It must be getting closer to spring, though. For the last couple of days, I've seen geese flying generally north in HUGE groups. Like massively huge. In the northeast, I usually saw a V formation or two at most. Here, it's 15+ Vs with 20-30 geese each all layered together and more than one visible in the sky at once.
And the construction cones have started springing up - sure sign winter is coming to an end.

This winter I actually dug out my winter coat. I even wore a long-sleeved shirt a couple times (but that is because the building at work isn't managed well for climate control).
I'm not outside much, just from the house to the car, and into a building. I live near Cleveland, Ohio, and normally I wear a medium weight leather jacket through the winter. I am fine if I'm not outside more than an hour. It was a bit cold this winter, though. We get these every four or five years.

Not sure who you're asking, so I'll answer for my area.
In Ohio, we don't really need oil heaters; we didn't even before the present light-weight oils. For non-commercial vehicles (cars, trucks, vans), it's not necessary, though it won't hurt. I do not know about construction equipment or other heavy-duty vehicles.
On rare occasion I'll run into someone who does use an oil heater, but again, they don't really have the need. Usually it's just something they feel compelled to have for whatever reason.
Once in a while it will get cold enough that the tires "freeze." They will hold their shape (the flattened area in contact with the ground), and "thump" a short while as you drive and they "warm." This happens probably once or twice a decade in my area. On the other hand, people here seem to have difficulty remembering more than one year back; it's always the end of the world.

Thanks, a work collegue from Wyoming said they needed an electric sump heater all night and running the engine at lunch time.
Elevation and proximity to Rockies I assume.
We get warm rain in inches by the day here all through Dec till now, last Sunday was 70F, could be summer record.

The only place I've been in the US where it was common to see cords hanging out of the front (for an engine block heater) was Anchorage, AK. And not all cars had them.
As much fuss as the media made about the weather this winter, I know we had more snow when I was a kid (there are photos of snow above the doors and we made forts big enough for adults).

I agree re: media hype. Yes, our winter here has been more brutal than average, but it only ranks as number eight in terms of temps . Snowfall, well, we are awaiting another beaut tonight. It should put us over the top as record winter snowfalls go. I'm done with winter this year.

Yes, I remember more snow when I was a child, and we have movies and pictures to show it really was more and not just us being smaller. It seems the snow lasted longer as well. The past decade or so, when we have a big snow, it melts in a few days. When I was a kid it persisted for weeks or months. This winter's storm was more like I remember.
I had a friend who moved to Atalanta, Georgia, right after graduating from high school. He told us they are not used to snow down there, so everything shuts down for 1/4" of snow. We laughed until he told us it all melts by noon so they have to go to work anyway.
I think I mentioned in an earlier post that the media make a big deal about records, and people don't think. They will mention breaking a record on a given day - lets arbitrarily say February 14. No one seems to realize that record is for that date, and not the entire month or even entire season. They lock only onto the number even when the news puts it in context.
This year is what I call a "good" winter - like it is supposed to be. Speaking of which, another storm is coming in tonight - a mild one. Still, there are people flooding the stores to stock up on canned and dry goods because the world is about to end. Bobwysiwyg, give us an heads up, it'll hit you first
