    What?! We're not even halfway through October yet!

    Also, I'm in Rochester, which is supposed to be a big 'snow place', and it's not even cool out yet.

    You live in Rochester?! Dude, I live like an hour away from you in Syracuse. It's sort of cold here...you have to wear a coat in the morning. I love snow.

    It is a beautiful fall day where I am right now

    I cry for you.

    It just finally started getting cold here yesterday. I don't think they usually get snow before December or january, though. ANd then i'll be back home in NY.

    Well, college is in Rochester. I live down in Da Ville (Washingtonville).

    Also: You don't understand the (7th?) in my title, apparently. I put that there because I was the eighth to sign up to the forums, so I originally put (8th!) after the title. Then one day I noticed that I'd been bumped to seventh somehow, so I changed it to (7th?). Therefore, you'd probably be fourty-somethingth.

    There is no snow here :(

    There's snow here! Not enough to make snowmen or angels, or the like, but there's enough to wage psychological war on my body temperature.

    We haven't received any snow here yet, but it has been quite a bit rainy lately. I just purchased a copy of Counter Strike recently and am finding the extra perception a great excuse to stay indoors and play away.

    Well- guess there are a lot of New Yorkers here. And about my title...OH! I get it now. XD. So I'll change it to a 72. I was the 72nd one to sign up. Want to know how to figure out what number you are? It the last number in the hyper-link to your profile. Now mine will make sense. yay!

    Snow my God?

    I was actually thinking that when I saw the thread title.

    It was snowing most of the day today. A nice cold wind too. What a great day to go hangliding- I mean installing awnings. I wonder if we'll get another Halloween blizzard?

    Snow? Damn, it's barely even cold over here. Stupid coast.
  • edited October 2006
    Hey, he's on the coast of a freakin' lake. That doesn't count. I'm near a real coast, and it's really hot here. I bring a sweater to school just because the air conditioning is so cold compared to the outside.

    I am besieged on all sides and internally by over 6 quadrillion gallons of water. We also get weather from Canada.

    Stupid swampy hand-shaped peninsula.
  • edited October 2006
    I didn't even know that a quadrillion was a real number.

    This brings me to a very important question. If all the quadrillion gallons were dumped over the state of Texas (assuming that Texas was flat and also had a retaining wall capable of holding all of the water inside its borders), how deep would the water be?

    I'm gonna take back what I said about it not being so cold in Rochester. Apparently we got some snow last night.

    Are you INSANE?!?! Okay, when it snows here, I'll let you come brush it all off my car and then drive it out of the parking lot at work for me. (who the **** puts the only exit to a parking lot on a hill?!)

    Only one way to find out.
  • edited October 2006
    look up the area of Texas and divide the volume of the water by that?
  • edited October 2006
    Texas:
    268601 square miles = 1418213280 square feet

    1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons of water

    6,000,000,000,000,000 / 7.48
    =802139037433155 cubic feet of water

    802139037433155 / 1418213280 =
    565598.312 feet of water. covering Texas

    or over 107 miles of water. Not sure if that is right or not...
  • edited October 2006
    looks right. Except, 7.48 gallaons seems like an awful lot for a cubic foot of water. If I had a 1x1x1 foot box, I doubt it would take 7.48 gallons to fill. Where'd you find that convertion?
  • edited October 2006
    Buffalo got 2 feet of snow last night, and it's still going.
  • edited October 2006
    He's right about the conversion. I didn't bother to check over the math though. He's also assuming optimal temperature and that Texas is way flat.

    I'll get to work on the giant vacuum.


    Also, 107 miles? Those lakes are a lot deeper than I thought they were.

    Snow doesn't exist in Ecuador... it's got something to do with being on the equator... Stupid imaginary circle.
