We laugh but I'm sure this video is not far from the truth!
Well, the snow has stopped falling, time to get to it!
And speaking of snow, time for some useless info on it.....
Snow is a mineral, just like diamonds and salt!
We all know about "yellow snow" but don't eat the red snow either! "Watermelon snow" ruddy-tinted drifts that smell like fresh watermelon, gets its color from a species of pigmented algae that grows in ice. The snow tastes great, but eating it will give you the runs!
In Antarctica, the hard, flat snow reflects sound waves so efficiently that researchers have reported hearing human voices a mile away!
and this is what I'll be thinking about while plowing and shoveling all this crap away...
Pibloktoq, a little know hysteria seen in people living in the snow, can cause a wide range of symptoms, including echolalia (senseless repetition of overheard words) and running around naked in the snow!
miter snows just starting here, at my house I've had 148" to date, the avg should be about 100", been great skiing, but the guy who plows me is getting a W2, 30X35= sanding. I should buy an old plow trk.
oh Miter....
Last night I sat on my back porch, drinking a glass of cheap Sangria, looking at the snow topped Cascade Mountains with the sunset in the background, and listening to an American Robin sing his little heart out... a sure sign of spring here in the Pacific Northwest. I guess I don't want your snow now! LOL
I knew somevon who suffered from both zese conditions.
Goering's speeches to his airmen vere alvays full of imbecilic sheise zat he heard elsevere, und ven he vos drunk, he rolled around in ze snow naked.
He looked like ein elephant seal, und it vos very tempting to shoot him.
If only.......
miter,
according to the article, they were"stunned into silence." I bet they were too!! Usually when they take off on a delivery flight, you will see them fly by the bldg. and tip their wings goodbye, this was blatent boldness and stupidity. That's a pretty expensive toy to be playing with.... although, he's not the first! We had an incident in the late 1960's when a pilot flew over Lake Washington in a 707 and did a barrell roll. It's a legend around here!!

Planetint - wee man! Thanks for that mate. Have flow into E-boro before and it was bumpy. That said I was in a smaller twin prop commuter as opposed to a jet.
Think it's windshear that normally gets you not the crosswinds. I love flying but remember being on a DC-10 climbing out of Dulles - we'd been airborne for what must only have been about 30-40 seconds when the thing just dropped - to the extent that I vividly recall an in-flight mag floating in front of it's reader who had let go to grip the seat rests in terror.
When the screams died down and the pilot came over the intercom to explain it I never forgot. Love flying. Hate windshear.
Had to go around twice last year at Zurich as well because of it. Strangely I like turbulence when you're up in the cumulus clouds, just not when you're close to the ground (cumulo-granite)
