why not put power lines underground?

"Temperatures increase 'typically' ~25 degrees celsius per 1 km increase in depth."

Going deep underground may make sense in cold winter climates-start digging :)

We have learned to be accustomed to being nearly absolutely protected from the vagarities of nature. No protection is 100% and we no longer take it very well when mother nature practices "tough love." When I lived in a tent, (which I actually have done, btw) there were many challenges, but one of them was not fear of busted water lines and the expense of repairing the damage. Once the nasty weather event was over, it was over. I would prefer to not live in a tent again, but there definitely are advantages if one takes a broad view.

Woke to 8-9" of snow... almost none falling now, but they predict another heavy band later this afternoon.... maybe another 4-6". So far, no serious problems..(but then I haven't tried to shovel yet.)

Well, finally, we, in southeast Alaska, are to have winter- a winter storm watch is on for the next 24 hours.

Given the misery this winter's weather has brought others, I know it is insensitive of me to be glad for our new snow- but I do like seasonal weather. I don't want winter storms in April, for instance, nor heavy snow weighting down trees still in full leaf.

I don't require perfection, you see, but I do like excellence. :)

On the western shores of the Caribbean, it is good to see that, with the peak of the 2014 hurricane season now behind us, we still have not been threatened by a hurricane. Thank God. Changing the subject slightly, I hope to be in London in the next 10 days or so. I would be grateful to hear from folks in London how cool the weather is out there at this time. Are sweaters and jumpers already very much in use at this stage?

Calgary last week had a pretty heavy snow, causing millions of dollars damages to trees (and the cars or structures beneath them), and power outages.
Heavy frost; trees now yellow and many plants have died back.

Drizzly here in Rhode Island today, which is a good thing. We've had a dry summer. This weekend temperatures should be quite warm, but on a few nights recently I contemplated turning on the heat but resisted the urge. I did turn on my electric blanket, though.

The weather in Rhode Island and into New Bedford, MA, was absolutely beautiful all weekend as I traveled back and forth daily for the Working Waterfront Festival. It was sunny and warm with a slight breeze: shirtsleeve weather. Also, the leaves have started to put on their fall colors. They are not at peak yet, but they are getting close. Oh, and the sea music was great as were the spoken word pieces by the fisher poets. The seafood was delicious, and the crafts (as in arts & crafts and boats & ships) were well made. I wish I'd had more money to spend!

In Chicago IL. the weather is not doing anything special, just a very slight breeze and dark since it's 11:00 P.M. Tomorrow is when the mice start trying to find a warm place for the winter and to have their babies So I will be outside looking for any tiny hole's that they might be able to get in to the house even though they are very small and cute I am scared of them don't know why since I have never been bitten or slapped by one I am totally scared of them   even dead ones I am not a killer so if they come in I will leave the door open with some cheese outside when they can see it to lure them out of the house

here in Sydney is it allegedly early spring.

Today we had 30 on the harbour near where I live, with our western suburbs (usually a few degrees higher) a few degrees cooler. If you prefer degrees F. instead of Celcius, double + add 30 to get an idea of our day.

We also have a crop of nasty summer fires in other parts of the country - as winter has been very dry across the country we can expect a very bad fire season when summer gets here, tho perhaps it is already here.

Considering that it will be October in the morning we have had a good year here is Dorset.
the weather has been warm We are still enjoying warm days, the apples are still growing larger on our trees, but by about 9 o'clock at night it is becoming chilly so going out to the supermarket makes me think I should look for my jacket, though it has not yet made be turn back to find it - but I am of hardy Yorkshire stock raised in the North of England and we don't get many sports cars up there - it is difficult to even find them when it snows.

The last year has been rather different from the previous few. The lowest temperature here in Pennine Lancashire last winter was -0.8C as opposed to -16C last year.
We have had very little wind for the last three months compared to the last few years as well.
I'm well on the way to making lawns from what was field after cutting the grass so many times this year.
The temperature last night at 10:00pm was 14C.

At the rate our weather is going, we'll have snow on the ground before Hallowe'en, maybe as early as next week. Snow has already reached down the mountains toward us as far as the treeline.

We've had a cool, wet summer. Not unheard of, by any means, but very different from the summer of 2013 when we had a lot of sunshine.

Temperatures have been extremely hot here in Southern, California and the temp. for Saturday, Oct. 4, 2014 is supposed to be around 106 degrees in the area where I live.

It's unbelievable that here we are in October and it is going to be that hot tomorrow. Well of course as I type this it is close to midnight - Oct. 3, and even at this time of night I have to have the air conditioner going. It is still very, very warm even close to mid-night. Tomorrow, I plan to be in an air-conditioned car, an air-conditioned restaurant for lunch and then back home.

There are different outdoor events scheduled for this weekend that I would have liked to attend but most are outdoors like a day time food and craft festival or some other events - but man, 106 degrees outside - no way! I am not near the beach at all and anyway the beaches will probably be packed.

We had a lot of rain on Saturday, especially in the morning. Today, Sunday, was gorgeous: very cool but sunny. The fall foliage seems slow to show up this year. Often by now it is at its peak. That's true here in Rhode Island and in southeastern Connecticut, where I spent the day.

Earlier this evening we had a thunderstorm with rain, actual real live wet rain, falling onto our garden.......and, hopefully, farms in the district too. The drought has been biting hard for some time now so any rain is welcome - our town received 10 mls, but a local agronomist said tonight on the news that we need at least 150 mls to make much difference to current conditions.
