nautilcal times
the compass, and 360 degrees [sexagesimal is apparently easier to learn than decimal]
boiling and freezing water are 180 degrees [oppisite] apart in F, 100 apart in C that likes tens
can't remember why 0 F is that. Maybe mercury
Thanks for the education. Always puzzled but never bothered to educate myself on it.
Do any of you have tips on dealing with dog grief? Aside from giving them something that smells like the missing partner ?
School is NEVER cancelled for snow up here. Never. If it is colder than 30 below, they may cancel, but usually just delay it a bit.
Yeah up by sloth, prep, the plowing, salting,....like a well oiled machine. Down here it's hit or miss. Mostly miss. You start to wonder where your insane tax dollars are really going as you drive midday on un-plowed major roads and almost blow a tire and crack a wheel in a giant pothole. NY is supposedly the most corrupt state in the country....

Yah when she has her bully treats that's the only time she seems really happy right now. She has taken to making me hand feed her (or she won't eat for days) and she is glued to me 24/7. Literally she sleeps half on me even.

Well the buses in Nashville disagree.
You ever try to find snow tires in the south?
And why buys special tires to deal with a handful of days per year?
DAP Defuser? [Dog Appeasing Pheromones] they make collars, or wall plugs that mist feel good pheromones for puppers, they aren't cheap, but usually only short term. Take a week or so to settle the pupper
I didn't up north.
Why would I down south?
I don't on my rig either.
This is where I'm parked now...
This is how I got there...
Driving my rig is multitudes more difficult than driving that bus in any conditions let alone in the snow I've been through clear across the country all week.
Backing into my parking spot I'm in now was in a whole 'nother class of fathomability than where that bus got stuck.
Doing it all with the weightless load I'm carrying now surely would be the death of that bus driver in the first few hours.
Leaving my street in any vehicle today was no doubt more difficult than anything that bus driver accomplished all day.
And potentially deadly on any given day.
There's cliffs and a steep, nose down blind turn onto the main road in between 2 blind turns made by wooded rock walls.
But my wife managed it.
With my kids in the car and my full faith in her.
A LOT MORE than I can say for that "professional driver".
And getting snow tires down there is much easier than even figuring out a CC even exists.
But even on the worst day, that bus doesn't need them, nor do they exist for it afaik.

Living up here (NORTHERN Adks) without winter tires earns you the title of imbecile.
We don't care if the roads are plowed, but they always are it seems.

Yeah, a lot is just knowing how to drive. But I actually agree about side roads for buses in the south. Not worth trusting a bus driver with the lives of young kids in that stuff down there.I didn't up north.

I will never forget my last winter in TN. It began flurrying (never did accumulate) and the newspaper said 114 cars were abandoned, some in the middle of busy intersections in JC.
I went out for pizza.
A Thunder Shirt might help. They fit somewhat tightly, and make the dog feel as though s/he is being held. You can get them at the major pet stores. Dunno about Amazon.

We had a blizzard in Jacksonville December of '89, quarter inch of accumulation in some ares with drifts up to at least an inch
It shut the whole city down, all the bridges iced over and were impassable.
Having grown up in NY and learning how to drive in the snow, I was one of two people who showed up for work that night. On my 2 mile commute I must have seen 20 or so cars on the side of the road, particularly where they had spun out at intersections. Some people just have no concept of feathering the brakes
Good morning
I grew up in New England. We got a lot of snow. Not Sloth-level snow, but a lot, still and all. Everyone changed over to snow tires in November and left them on until early April. School was rarely canceled. In metro-D.C., school is canceled for the possibility of snow. OTH, people don't know how to drive, here.
