I am surprised that the lake isn't frozen, its freakin cold out, and you are more north than I am.
Hurray for motorcycles
The PacNW is more temperate than the Midwest. I'm from Chicago, and the winters are warmer and the summers cooler out here. We're farther north (the sun is setting a little after 4 these days), but I think the ocean must be buffering us. Or something. *shrug*
hey, aren't you supposed to be home cooking turkey?? :nono:
excellent photos btw :)
I'm vegetarian. ;)
Thanks!

No "Tofurkey" for you? :mrgreen:

Exactly!
Because of the size of the ocean, its temp hardly changes. Outside influences like the sun have little effect (compared to the air)... Having the ocean near you is like having a huge heat/cold control because it affects the temp of the air surrounding it. That's why the coldest place on earth is land locked in the South Pole... No ocean near by to keep it warm.
Don't get me started on the orographic influences on weather in the PNW. :lol:
I never went for tofurkey. I like my tofu to be content with what it is. :lol:
OK, for those who know meteorology, why does the buffering effect not work for the East Coast? New Yawk and New Joisey have much harsher weather than Seattle.
weather patterns in the usa usually travel from west to east because the prevailing winds in the atmosphere in the middle latitudes blow from west to east.
on the west coast the flow is off the pacific ocean which keeps the air masses and low pressure systems that affect the west coast relatively mild compared with the east coast.
Sweet. I can neener my east coast friends with impunity.

That is strangely refreshing. :? I hate it when people try to pretend that something almost entirely unlike meat tastes like meat. If it tastes good, why can't it just be what it is? If it's a portabello, don't try to convince me it tastes like a steak...it's a portabello damit, isn't that good enough?
They're going to give all the vegetables a complex.
vegetarians are bad for the environment----------they kill all the plants thus creating more green houses gases ----------------------------

Actually the effect for the PacNW is the same effect that Western Europe gets. Its warmer waters dont allow for snow fall.. the midwest and eastern US, has the effect of the landmass.. which cools more.
South Pole ? Land-Locked? have they moved it ? something to do with global warming ??
Seriously I do see your point. I am on the west coast of Europe about on a level with St John in Canada but we get much more temperate weather because of atlantic currents and drift, gets bloody wet though!

Yeah... The coldest place in the South Pole is land locked.
The South Pole is mostly land covered with ice, unlike the North Pole. The coldest place in the South Pole is far from water.
