Miami makes sense because it’s limestone combined with salt water and air; Manhattan surprises me because of the bedrock. Then again, I’m not a structural engineer, I’m just an old man yelling at the clouds. .
There’s also a tower in San Francisco that is leaning. Just some whoopsies. https://www.nbcbayarea.com/investigations/series/millennium-tower/san-francisco-millennium-tower-foundation-sinking/3460782/ .
Is this the same tower that didn’t put brakes in the garage chute, so that garbage bags tossed from 100 stories high would hit a velocity that made it sound explosive when it hit the basement? .
[emoji817] Key here is normie, and honestly, they’re not wrong. (I know we can argue semantics, but if you promise me steak and give me hamburger, well…) .
Very pretty at MMU. Maybe a touch more than Tuesday, when we had about 2”. Maybe 3”, but it’s cold and looks nice. Of course will melt on Monday, but good for my trees and the reservoirs. .
Would have annoyed me thirty-two years ago in middle school. But there have been great storms before and will be great ones again; we just have to remind ourselves every time we track them that they’re going to do whatever they want and however we feel won’t impact the outcome, for better or worse. .
Eyeballing my deck gives me about an inch of snow and sleet. (Sleet is much slicker than snow for sledding) Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you. .
So I just saw this thread for the first time in 300 replies… Regardless, been around long enough to know it doesn’t always go to forecast and neat to see a sleetstorm. Always the best sledding conditions: sleet packed snow. .
