Subj : weather and climate To : JIM WELLER From : Charles Blackburn Date : Tue Oct 11 2022 16:43:58 Re: weather and climate By: JIM WELLER to CHARLES BLACKBURN on Sun Oct 09 2022 22:04:00 JW> -=> Quoting Charles Blackburn to Jim Weller <=- CB>> yellowknife (had to look that one up JW> We're just a bit to the right of Fairbanks! which is turn left at alberqurque (however you spell it) right :D CB>> bet it does get pretty cold up there. JW> Most winters we'll hit -38 to -40 F at least once. The record low is JW> -60. Summer highs average 70 and the record is 90. That's only JW> happened twice in the past 40 years though. It was tolerable ahh hell nah!! dont mind mid 70s during the day which is what it's been here in SC (up here for work this week) with a low of the mid-high 60s it's been a great change for sure JW> though as the humidity was low; we have a cool semi-arid climate JW> here. I had to shovel much more snow back when I lived in Ottawa. ya no sweating like a pig every time i get out the truck this week either CB>> if the Colorado River system dries up ... CB>> yea i know what you mean. not to mention with all the fires https://engaging-data.com/ca-reservoir-dashboard/ ) JW> That's a very dramatic presentation. Here's another thought JW> provoking article on the subject: https://tinyurl.com/colorado-water yea, that's a problem for sure. england has been in a similar situation (weird i know). wastched a video on the derwent resorvoir where the ruins of buildings in the town that was flooded are showing up and people are looking at them (look up martin zero channel on youtube). what he doesnt mention in there is that IIRC, the derwent was one of the resorvoirs used in the "dambusters" film :D I could be wrong about that, but im too lazy to double check on wikipedia :D CB>> you should try mongolian. now THAT's interesting for sure. JW> Are you talking about the so-called Mongolian BBQ restaurants (the JW> concept was invented by a restaurant guy in Taiwan who gave it a JW> fanciful name) or the real thing? Both, although we only have the fake one here CB>> weird thing is, it's pretty much just a stir-fry JW> Ah, the modern Taiwan restaurant version. It's undoubtedly tastier than JW> the real thing. yea we only get the fake one here, but still it's pretty good and not that much different, but the real thing is way better :D regards === Charles Blackburn The F.B.O BBS 21:1/221 618:250/36 bbs.thefbo.us IPV4/V6 DOVE-Net FSX-Net MicroNET USENET ....
