We got about 4" of snow last night. About time!

Well the magnetic pole is on the move. We are way overdue for a pole swap. When, not if, that occurs present concerns on climate change will seem like the good old days.

Glad we use triple internal reference systems (solid state laser ring gyros the size of a quarter) for aircraft navigation!

Very interesting!

Excuse me I have to go line my roof with lead.
If the poles sort of swap... or meander without hard reference the van allen belts get rather confused.
It provides protection from an awful lot of solar radiation from ever getting to the earth.

Oh this belongs here for sure.

We're all going to die!!

Huh. Well that explains why my house in California is predicted to get rain every day next week but not tomorrow. I'm going there next Wednesday night. I'll be thrilled to have rain instead of earth movers on the land below my house.

Thanks a lot, David. Get the weather thread moved to politics.

Naw. Jim would delete my post before he would let that happen.

Light rain all day in Loveland, CO. Really? In January? I'm surprised. Gary (skunkworks) is that odd?
