Tim McG Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 How's the weather? You wanna know how the weather is? It's fucking cold enough to freeze the brass nuts off a monkey's ass, that's how cold it is. It didn't get above freezing yesterday(contrary to all the weather reports), and it ain't out of the 20s yet right now. We'll probably get up in the 80s next week. My MIL lives in Concord, NC and said the cold reminds her why she moved from Connecticut. My Aunt in Madison, WI said it got way up to 15 degrees yesterday.....could be worse, MoGrubb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim McG Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) In my Neck o'the Woods it's cloudy [big storm coming] and in the low 40s.

MoGrubb Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Nothing like that Northern winter, e.g. crossing the street, thinking you're stepping on "solid" snow or ice, sinking up to your ankles in ice water slush. At least out West y'all have fairly dry cold, not too uncomfortable. The cold around here'll chill your bones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Frozen down here most of the day, though it's supposed to warm up on Saturday. Heck, it's colder down here than the area in Oregon where I'm heading. Of course, there's none of that white stuff on the ground down here...

Aggie87 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 We had some family friends and their kids visiting the past few days, and took them out to the beach yesterday. They recently moved down to Texas from Illinois. After about an hour of strolling the beach and jetties, my buddy told me it felt colder out there at about 57 F, with the wind and humidity (and salt spray), than it did up in Illinois (Quad Cities area). I had to laugh, because I've been up there in January before, and that's some kinda COLD up there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you what: I'll take my rare 7.6 earthquake, see your tornadoes and raise you ice storms, hail storms, plague of locust, stiffling humidity, New Yorkers or whatever the hell else you guys got going back there.

I don't think volcanoes are a major concern in the Western U.S. in general, but MG is correct. In addition to volcanoes in Hawaii and Alaska, there are volcanoes in Washington down into California. Excerpts from this U.S.G.S. site: ...Few places on Earth allow closer or more dramatic views of volcanic activity than Mauna Loa and Kilauea volcanoes on the island of Hawaii. Their frequent but usually nonexplosive eruptions make them ideal for scientific study. ...Volcanoes of the Cascade Range erupt far less frequently than Kilauea and Mauna Loa, but they are more dangerous because of their violently explosive behavior and their proximity to populated and cultivated areas in Washington, Oregon, and California. ...Recent violent eruptions have demonstrated that volcanic hazards do exist in some areas of Alaska, even though it is sparsely populated. Alaskan volcanoes have produced one or two eruptions per year since 1900. Edited January 4, 2008 by Aggie87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoGrubb Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Western NC actually had an earthquake a month or so ago. But, quakes are almost as rare as hen's teeth. No volcanoes, yet. I'll keep an eye out. We do get occasional water damage from hurricanes. Still colder'n a witch's tit here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan volcanoes have produced one or two eruptions per year since 1900. Mount St. Helens in Oregon's Cascades blew it's top 28 years ago. In California, there is some seismic activity attributed to Mammoth Mountain in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. They figure it might become active in, oh....a thousand years, give or take a week or two. I'm fairly certain I'm safe The yearly Plague of Tourists, OTOH, has been known to wreck pure havoc on this state.

BruceH Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Terrible weather here today. Heavy rain and driving winds, with gusts up to 85 mph. Yikes. And we're supposed to get more of the same through Tuesday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wheel Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Terrible weather here today. Heavy rain and driving winds, with gusts up to 85 mph. Yikes. And we're supposed to get more of the same through Tuesday! I just walked a mile in this shit. We had worse in Florida, but of course SF infrastructure is wimpy and my power went out as I was taking a shower. The Bay looks like it did through most of Star Trek IV .

I can spot an Asian tourist from a mile off....Eastern Europeans, too. Brits tend to blend in more as do the Aussies. French and Germans tend to be a mixed bag. East Coast visitors, well, let's just say we Native Californians got them figured out, too.
