Hot damn, we have snow in Pensacola for the first time in 16 years... Granted, it is more accurately descrbed as mild sleet mixed in with plenty of rain, but the snow could increase by the evening - as the current ambient temperature is above zero

I see snow isn't the only thing getting deep here... ~D

As always, it isn't that funny when you have to explain it, if it was even funny to begin with (ironically, shallow humour).
Hey, you quoted yourself. :laugh4:Quote:

Time lapse video of the Feruary 5-6 snowfall in DC. Nikon D200 set to make an exposure every 5 minutes. 328 frames at 12 fps.
Naw the level is higher across the boardQuote:

Why is there snow at 20 degrees? Snow forms at around 3 degrees.
Unless you happen to live in Liberia, Burma, or the United States.Quote:

Additionally, the measures of volume are absolutely atrocious. Finally, the inch is completely ill-suited for any sort of precision work.Quote:

we got 3 inches!
now for us here in ATL, thats a HUGE amount. :beam:
pity that it already melted, for the most part.
I live in Northern VA and saw the snowball fight on the internet. I wish I could have been there!Quote:

Awesome video, CR!
The world is beautiful under snow. So different, so romantic. so clean and fresh and innocent. Slideshow, to be enjoyed on a lazy Sunday afternoon, at home with a nice cup of coffee: http://www.slideshare.net/mireille30...ris-2010-neige
5280 feet. and doing the rather simple math in my head i also know there are 63360 inches in a mile (nah, i know from physics). Therein, lies the problem yes celsius and metric are easier based of units of 10. But for the average american who does know only Fahrenheit it is a mystery. and i am relatively well educated for my age most people of my age bracket cannot do metric conversions at all.Quote:

There was an attempt in the 70's i believe which failed miserably, a severe re education would have to occur and it would cost some money. Imagine americans learning to drive......... at kilometers per hour instead of miles there would be catastrophe. It should be done yes, but the problem lies in how to do it all at once. Attempt to teach a 6th grader metric and american, its bound to fail and other topics need more time spent on them.
Fahrenheit is more precise, and everyone in the US knows it, and it's better for the human spirit. Who wants to say "Oh, it's 25 degrees today" instead of "Ah, it's 77 degrees today".Quote:

I love a fresh deep snowfall as well. The way the snow covers everything; it's like I'm seeing a new world, a wondrous hidden side of the usually mundane landscape. And the way the sky glows at night while it snows; as though there's a soft blanket encasing the world.

Yes, because everyone else is guesstimating.Quote:
