    Default Snow days

    They are awesome. Due to getting 4 inches of snow on Sunday night, and then heavy icing the next night that turned all of that snow into ice, tomorrow will be my 4th day of no school because of it.
    I love how unprepared Atlanta is for winter weather.

    Future FBI Agent? Lol. But yeah, yeah, cool story, bro. It started getting past the -30's C where I am, finally. For the first week of January, and if I didn't know any better, I might have mistook it for September based on the weather.

    We had about two and a half feet of snow until they said it was the coldest winter in a thousand years, then it started to melt. It should be 11C (almost 50°F) today but the sun still isn’t out.

    Spring flowers are starting to come up and the ski areas are starting to suffer.

    Meantime, my kids in the area of Seattle posted pictures of about 6 or 7 inches of show at the seashore.

    Where is Frag? Should ask him about weather conspiracies...

    2010, together 2005 is the warmest year on record.

    Generally, it seems that there the La Niña and a negative NAO that messes up most of the weather.

    Here, we haven't had temperatures above 0 C since 4:th of November. And got about 60 cm of snow. Nothing extreme, but that the cold is so lasting is unusual.

    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?
