6 inches and your snowed in!!!

we don't get off unless there's enough snow to bury the city around here

ah...see I like to program all the equations onto my calculator so I don't have to remember the exact equation, just how it works.

what kind of calculator do you have?

I program most of them in, but in Stats there aren't many equations to program in, most of it has to be done with a chart or data table, neither of which can be programed into the calculator, however, you gave me a brilliant idea on how to remember stuff better.

And I have a TI-83/84. I'm not sure which, but its one of the 2.

You'll be sorry when global warming sinks you're island!

It was 30C here today and last time I saw a cloud was... probably Wednesday.

It's about 2 degrees C here.

Mwahahahaa! Power up the Heat Ray! Let's see how Mark likes it when the ice caps melt!

Ah Rochey I'm pretty sure you and I and the majority of this forum are on Islands...

Uh, hang on a moment while I rethink this plan.....

Honestly, GK, you had two days off for that little bit of snow? I saw a news report from somewhere in SW England, showing the terrible traffic, uncontrolled cars, etc., due to the snow - incredibly, the scene showed little enough snow on the roads that the blacktop was still visible. I then surmised that folks in that area are fairly unused to snow of any amount.

Exactly - inches of snow is a once-a-decade occurance, if that. If this was routine every winter, not only would everyone have a good deal of experience with the conditions, but we'd also have the necessary equipment to deal with it. Since it's so rare it simply isn't worth investing in the tyres and snow chains that would be needed to deal with a permanent layer of winter snow.

I don't have specialized tired or chains.

Nor do I - but summer-only tires a rare option around here, plus our municipalities have the proper equipment and supplies onhand. Further, dealing with snow every year, makes the typical drive over here better able to deal with the conditions.
