mackerel_sky Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Just read a story about a 2015 Peanuts movie coming out next year, sadly, it will be cgi, but I guess that's the way it is nowadays ! They have released a 2 minute trailer. Should be a good watch!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I'm not sure how you deal with 5 or 6 feet of snow. It seems like roofs would be caving in all over the place. How would you be able to get anywhere? I guess maybe up there, they have processes and equipment to deal with extreme conditions like that. If that happened here, I dare say a majority of homes would have roof failures. They just aren't engineered with a snow load factor to withstand 5' snow on top of them (I think it's only 1.05 maybe just 1.0, I'd have to pull out my wood construction engineering book). Even with a standard 1.1 safety factor, the load of that 5' would probably push trusses WAY past the limit they were designed to withstand. And that's your construction engineering nerd fact of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you be able to get anywhere? I guess maybe up there, they have processes and equipment to deal with extreme conditions like that. The only person I know up there, indirectly through social networking, posted pictures of it coming down while she was working at home. Another photo of herself and her husband outside trying to keep the sidewalk between the house and garage clear. They were standing in the sidewalk shoveling and the snow was shoulder-height on either side of them, and it was still snowing. I guess they were going outside every hour or two and removing whatever had fallen. I would repost the photo for you all but I don't know her personally, so I hesitate to copy it. As for the roads, yeah they get plowed. They still have several work from home, no school days while this gets sorted though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not play that at ATL show ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I believe that should be our construction knurd fact of the day! Touché lol. Now I have myself curious on what the standard is for here vs there and the compare those numbers to what's actually going on. Might have to dig up my book tonight and run some quick numbers (I could do it with a calculator via the internet but what's the fun in that ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going by magnitude of snow average difference it should be a large differential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have lost so many mets that used to post due to them establishing their own social media sites that I think is good to add their free-access commentary to our discussion threads.

Yeah, I still wish they posted here, too. I understand WxSouth having his own site and is on facebook, but seems he could post on here sometimes if he can post on facebook. I know Allan Huffman posted his winter forecast here, so maybe he will be around when things get interesting around here for winter. But Matthew East hasn't bee around at all.
