Wamsutta posted:Meanwhile in CT it's going to be 60 degrees this weekend and it hasn't snowed yet this winter. I don't think we had more than a 4" snowfall at all last winter either. Seasons aren't real anymore lol It's snowed a few times here in Manchester but it never stick around for more than a day or two. I have had to shovel the driveway twice but not use the snowblower.

A word of mouth story from a coastal washington native tribe about an earthquake was dated exactly to the day sometime in the early to mid 1700s because of records of a tsunami that hit japan

FacebookEmpathyMom posted:Those oral histories are very robust. If you ever find yourself near Neah Bay the Makah people’s cultural center is very well done and interesting. They had a story of a large mudslide that later was excavated and resulted in a ton of well preserved artifacts, including evidence of gill net fishing which was used to help establish the practice as predating the treaties to the eternal consternation of modern fisherfolk who get really pissed about natives fishing. I love the Australian native stories that have been proven through the geological record to be 10-12000+ years old, passed down word of mouth, generation to generation. What the stories of the natives of the Americas could have told and taught us we will by and large never know and that saddens me

I think I'm forecast for like 18"+ here in central ct. Maybe idk that could be old info too. I'm going to go get some gas for the snowblower because I haven't left the house in a week except to go to the liquor store but I guess the driveway being clear is important (this isn't really my decision to make, just following orders)

There were two tornados Thursday from Fred in NW Connecticut (Thompson CT / Webster MA) and another fully in Mass (Clinton MA) but there was also a tornado a few weeks ago in North-Northwest CT (Somers CT) and I cannot for the life of me remember a time in the last 35 years where we had multiple tornadoes like this over the course of a month. Looking forward to Henri giving me a hell of a party tomorrow night tho and taking away my electricity for a week+ like Sandy

Nenonen posted:I read a brief mention that the collapsed candle factory in Mayfield also employed prisoners (who helped in rescue work by making holes in drywalls so people trapped in pockets could breathe), and this was stated like there was nothing unusual about it. I must admit that it doesn't surprise me that slaves would be forced to work during a tornado, but I would still like to hear more if there is any more information on this. If the candle factory is the only employment around then the prisoners very well could have simply been on work release doing their normal job and not actually on loan as slave labor from the jail. Then again, its also the south and maybe I am giving them too much credit because slave labor seems like exactly the type of things a small town would get away with.

Basic Poster posted:Not...yet Water expands when it freezes unlike a lot of stuff that shrinks when it freezes due to the abnormal non symmetrical shapes of the water crystals fitting together. Water also does not compress and all the expansion force goes to things that will absorb force. You're vastly underestimating the power of freezing water.

Dog Case posted:The real danger of the cold weather is having to drive in traffic. Passed a ton of people on the way to work just riding the rear end of people that were actually driving safely for the conditions. Like less than a cars length on plowed but not bare roads I had an extremely localized surprise few inches of snow Christmas Eve day and had to make a planned trip to the grocery store for some lobsters and yeah, roads were awful and people had no concept of distancing, it was absurd. People in awd vehicles don't understand braking at all

I miss snowy winters so much Growing up in CT 30+ years ago I can recall ice skating on farm ponds in November and December and now you are lucky if they're frozen enough by February if ever

HonorableTB posted:lmao this is hilarious to me. Imagine taking a shot at a robot deer and you turn around to see an Extremely Angry game warden demanding to see your hunting license after rushing over to check on the fallen dummy, mourning the loss It takes quite a bit of skill to place the decoy deer so they don't look fake to someone that has hunted long enough. In fact, wardens often are formerly prolific poachers or children of them, really takes a certain type of outdoorsman to hunt poachers specifically. I have heard crazy stories from wardens on decoy traps hiding in culverts where the poacher pokes the gun out over their head and they couldn't move to even cover their ears lest they give away their position, but as soon as it went off they reached up out of the darkness and they manhandled the rifle right out the truck window Also stories from felon poachers hiding from wardens with them on their sights that said if the warden saw them they were gonna just pull the trigger, so it goes both ways
