  1. I have video of me and my dog running around in that band. It was f'ing ripping.
  2. Don't worry. It'll be bumped again next year as we pine for some sort of appreciable snow for the third year running.
  3. I'm starting to tire of having to relive 09-10 in order to feel good about winter.
  4. I wish I could go back to that day and experience it again...and actually know what the hell was happening. It was freaky.
  5. So basically what RodneyS is saying is that averages tend to...well...average out the peaks and valleys we can sometimes get.
  6. But that has nothing to do with what the temps might be a month, two months, five months down the line. By the logic you're using, one warm month means the following month will also be warm, which means the following month will also be warm, ad infinitum.
  7. So you mean you don't ascribe to the belief that a warm winter and spring means the following summer will be hotter than normal? Which means the following winter will be warmer than normal, which means the following spring will be warmer than normal, which means...
  8. Definitely #2, but it's more than just knowing we're currently in a crappy pattern. It's knowing that our normal snowfall is somewhere around 20" (depending on where you live), and it's rare to even get that much in any given winter. This is simply a s****y snow area.
  9. Because there was more snow...with more to follow.
  10. Crap...sorry to hear about the carpet. We're lucky in that our basement is semi-finished and only has tile and sealed concrete. We also have a drain that I squeegied everything into. Still, for first-time homeowners, it's been less than fun. We even have some wetness showing in the ceiling in the den. Good luck with getting everything squared away!

  11. Wife woke up in the middle of the night and asked me if I'd felt an aftershock. Apparently the dog woke her up just before the rumble. I was dead to the world. Also...you people need to sleep.
  12. Someone on a sports forum I frequent said "a signal was sent moments before the earthquake..." Awesome. I love it.
  13. The HAARP conspiracy theories have begun.
  14. Wife and I went out for a walk with the dog earlier and saw quite a few chimneys that lost some bricks and/or mortar, and a few that will need a pretty good overhaul. I'd agree that it was pretty close to big enough to cause some real problems this close to the epicenter.
  15. Not seeing it either. But my wife and I both definitely felt it.
  16. Either predict or create. Pick your poison...
  17. Third quake I've ever felt, and the second time I've been on the hopper for the occasion. I have talent.
  18. I was on the toilet and I definitely felt it. No mistaking one thing for the other.
  19. My building actually swayed. At first, I thought it was someone moving furniture or something above us, but as soon as I felt the movement, I told everyone to "get the hell out!"
  20. Or in a shabbily constructed converted dorm on a government installation. Not a comfortable feeling at all. But cool.
