octagon999 Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Even more ironic was the point in time this winter when parts of Texas had more snowfall for the year than Minneapolis. Now THAT was a FUN statistic. Get well soon, Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-t-akua Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 (edited) yep..it's a common misconception and a fact we do not try to advertise since we do not need more Californians here. Too bad. Just saw another load of Californians headed out to CO too. Forgot to add that I hope Pete is gets better and that he takes care of himself.

orin Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Here in SW Texas.. we can't figure out weather to have the AC or the heater on. Several times in the last 3 weeks the AC was on in the evening and the heater one in the morning. As they say here in Texas... If you don;t like the weather... wait and it will soon change. Get well Mr Pete Seems alot of flu like stuff going around here too..was knocked out for a few days with 100-101 temp myself in the beginning of the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octus Imperium Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Best wishes to Pete.Got to love San Diego weather. a chilly 70 degree's out. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Warm it up a bit, please. I arrive Wednesday night for a couple days of meetings, but I had hoped for something slightly warmer. It will be much better than Chicago weather for early March!

Hey, lay off the English- they've had a tough weekend (losing at rugby again ) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We thought "A pint's a pound the world around." Is it not 16 fluid ounces everywhere?

Hey, lay off the English- they've had a tough weekend (losing at rugby again ) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We thought "A pint's a pound the world around." Is it not 16 fluid ounces everywhere? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is not strictly true. It is true to say that 1 ml of water is 1 gram, because it's defined as so. A pound is 454 grams. An American wet pint is 471 grams, which is approximately the same. A British pint is 567 grams. But this is only talking about water. Since the same amount of different materials will weigh different amounts, this can only be regarded as an extremely approximate conversion. And, for some reason, the Americans have 16 fluid oz to a pint, while the British have 20 fluid oz to the pint. Pete- hope you're feeling better, and sorry to hijack the thread.
