Wow! That earthquake list is scary! Is that a normal few days worth of activity? Or is this unusual?

Again I'll ask.....didn't I hear the Earth's rotation was affected by the tsunami/earthquake? Could that be having an effect on the weather now?

hey, eggie, i'm sure a man who steals snowmen tumbleweeds from a military area will be safe on a ski trip with ds! loved the pics of the family--both eyes open and closed--on the tv updates page. do you think your younger son will wait til caitlin grows up? she's 17 now! and, too bad my son is younger than your dd, because they have a lot in common! it would be fun to be outlaws with you.
i am a worrier, too. i am not worried about falling off a rollercoaster or log ride or boat ride at the amusement parks...i worry an earthquake will occur when i am at the top of the ride, and i will hurtle off in my little car, log, or boat! or the power will go off and the force will throw me into orbit when the ride comes to a dead stop LOL

I was a tiny impact, Whoami- not sure if it would make a difference. It kind of jerked the planet and the rotation got tossed off my a few microseconds and I think I read something about a tiny bit of tilt...but the weather's been kind of crazy for longer than since the earthquake/tsunami. Personally, I'd blame global warming...but some people don't believe in that. You are right about there being an effect, but I'm doubtful it has anything to do with the weather.

yeah, it's pretty normal for a few days worth of activity, but we tend to pay more attention when it's in our specific area. i heard, too, that the earth's rotation was affected, but i also heard a few months ago that we would be having another el nino and get more rain than usual.
i am so tired of the rain. it really messes up work hours--golf courses don't do much business in the rain, and even when we reopen, no one can take a power cart out til things dry up. we make a lot of our money from power cart rentals. yesterday, no carts could go out...my daily bag for the pro shop was $39.75 for an entire day. if they send us home, we don't get paid. i am longing for summer, even though i can't stand the high heat! i need the paycheck.

Who, actually if you follow that site for a few days you'll see it's not too unusual. We have many small ones everyday that we rarely notice, and only really pay attention when there are a few bigger ones.

We were warned a few months ago we were in for a wet winter. It is unusual but does happen every few years. We bought our house in Dec. '97 and that was the wettest winter I'd ever seen here. Again, we had expected it, being El Nino and all, but it is still rare for us. We are in the desert after all, lol!

Well....FEMA is on its way and the governor was here today. Looks like we're headed for a federal disaster declaration. I heard a $15 million figure thrown out estimating the cleanup and debris removal costs. I also heard that we had right about 2 inches of ice. Tomorrow I am going to take some pictures of the area - it is shocking. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like it firsthand.

My co-worker and his wife and daughter are here again tonight and probably will be until their power is restored. They've been told 7-10 days, but are hopeful it will be sooner. The houses across the street from them got power this evening. At noon, there were still 41,000 homes without electricity and of the 33 students in class tonight, 15 have no power in their homes and have had no power since Tuesday.

LOL, Twinkie. It was a dismal cloudy day here today. I think it got up to 43, which is fairly cold for central Texas. But that's ok, it's supposed to be 80 this weekend.

<jmm ducks and runs away from the snowballs and buckets of water headed her way>

I am so happy with our weather, everyone around us is getting snow, snow and more snow, yet in the Twin Cities we can still see grass. I just love it, no shoveling, no freezing cold, it is suppose to hit near 30 today. The only problem we have is a little ice build up on the roads, especially the side streets so it is a bit slippery out there.

Here's hoping it stays that way all winter and we have a nice early spring.

OMG it is snowing here. Big, fat flakes. It's sticking in the backyard, front is still wet but if this keeps up, it'll be sticking out there too. Darren just called from work, they already have 2" out there (they are closer to the mountains, higher elevation that us) and they're being sent home. Kids didn't waste anytime, they were dressed and outside as soon as they realized it was snowing, lol. They are starting to realize how cold and wet snow is though, lol. Now to keep this in perspective, Dakota is 6 and Caleb 8, last time we had snow she was four months old and he was 3 and a half.

I'm so thankful to have made it home safely.

Worried about the new storm coming in,I got up extra early to make it out of the house at 5:20 am for a 6:30 am meeting.

Luckily, it wasn't as bad as I expected and now
safe and sound at home.

Wargod, how fun for the kids.

This is near my work. Didn't know if I should post it here, or in the "write a caption" thread.
Is it ever going to stop raining?!

War, it's snowing here in Las Vegas too.

Who, according to the scientists, the North Pole has moved due to the earthquake/tsunami and the earth rotation slowed 3 milliseconds.

This afternoon I plan to put on my shorts, go outside, and mow the lawn with the mulching mower to get rid of the leaves that are still falling off the trees. At this rate the new buds will be removing the rest of the old leaves in a week or three! We are experiencing mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures of 55 degrees.

Wardog, take lots of pictures!

Decided to check with my next door neighbor back in Washington state after I saw the folks in Vancouver going on and on about the snow there. My city is about 50 miles south of Vancouver, so figured we would have had snow too.

Neighbor sent this picture of the street in front of our houses:

wow, we had snow for 30 seconds at the golf course! at least i got 6 hours working today before they sent us home...no rain, but the winds are averaging 33 mph and, needless to say, you don't get many golfers in that kind of wind!
