Plukaduk Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 And about 1.5 hours later...... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's global warming for you... Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 LOL! Nah, it's just Virginia for ya! Don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes!We were talking to Adam when he posted the snow pictures and told him we had snow like that earlier but now it's sunny and you'd never know it happened! Then later he posted his sunny picture LOL!This state is so funny! Quote
epp_b Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Yard (yes, you DO see at least 3 feet of snow there and absolutely no grass):Driveway (cleared):...and we're at a low point (in terms of snow) for the season Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 thank you epp_b!That makes me feel much better about our funny, errr, bizarre, weather in Virginia!Where are you by the way? Quote
teacher Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 We did not get any of the snow. We only had the 60 MPH winds. It sure made for an interesting class. Have you tried to teach computers with the power going on and off? I pulled out the PDAs and had an impromptu lesson on them Spray from the sound was covering all four lanes of the causeway and Jockey's Ridge was spraying all the lanes with a little sandblasting. They say one house lost its roof as well. I wonder what tomorrow will bring. Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 I don't know but it's 42 degrees right now and weather report says:Generally clear. Cold. Low 23F. WNW winds at 15 to 25 mph, diminishing to 5 to 10 mph.Things are looking up here as far as the snow, and wind go...but look at that temp after being 70 yesterday and in the 50s overnight last night! Quote
teacher Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Oh well. Spring will return soon. I just hope all the daffodils don't die off in the meantime. We are only suppose to be 40 tomorrow. Yesterday was a great day for the beach though. I'll save the warm weather for spring break at the end of the month! Quote
Plukaduk Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Not trying to detract from the snowy weather in America. Look what we have bearing down on the north of the state I live in (Queensland). It will not get down my way hopefully. It was a category 5, but has now been downgraded to 4. Quote
teacher Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Quick! Batten down the hatches. Run for high ground! Take cover and take care. Let us know how you come out. Quote
Guest Paracelsus Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 (edited) Not make light of your potential predicament, Pluka...But if one were to flip that photo upside down...It might almost look like a Hurricane in the GoM about to hit the central Gulf coast of Florida.

I do not think I will have any problems here in Bundaberg as it's to far north at present. As this is Cyclone Ingrid, and women being fickle it could turn around and charge down southwards.

Guest Paracelsus Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Ha!!You ain't got a "Hit List"!!There's only ONE Hit List at SNLF Just remember...LR can coerce the Owner & Admins into re-establishing our privileges at any time Besides...You could have spared yourself the agony by just saving the image.... opening it in IrfanView and then... Flip... Rotate 90° Once again...You've unnecessarily complicated your own life. Quote
ross549 Posted March 9, 2005 Author Posted March 9, 2005 Ifranview..... that's a windows application, right? Quote
Guest Paracelsus Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Oh!Are you admitting a limitation to Linux Quote
rolanaj Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Can you flip photos in gimp? Im in Eastern Canada and we are supposed to get a major storm tomorrow, wonder if I will miss work. I know it is blowing pretty hard out there now and earlier we had a lot of rain, the roads looked like rivers. Quote
epp_b Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Eoohh...Eastern Canada has been hit pretty bad a few times. Good luck!Yes, I'm sure you can flip photos in Gimp. Can't tell you how though, 'cause I don't use it frequently. Quote
ross549 Posted March 9, 2005 Author Posted March 9, 2005 Oh!Are you admitting a limitation to Linux <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not remotely...... I was just trying to convey that I don't have ifranview on my linux setup..... I have other tools. Are you discrimingating against non-windows users? Quote
epp_b Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 That's a good one. Can you tell the guy's obviously not listening? Quote
havnblast Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 well figured I better show some real snow, now keep in mind it has melted quite a bit too.Looking out my window: The log pile use to be completely buriedNorth side of the house looking out the windows, that snow bank is taller than me:The back yard - notice clothes line poles in the back and that building is the rabbit house my daughter keeps her rabbits in. Yes she has to climb snow banks up hill both ways Quote
