Replying to: ruking1 (Nov 17, 2008 8:38 am)  I was wondering how they handled the doubles and triples. I saw one of those Euro rigs intentionally "jack knife" on itself last year. The rig was made for little roads and tight turns I guess - the cab was able to turn so sharply, the front tires could almost touch the trailer. |

It's 19F degrees here in upstate NY this morning. Would you people who are experiencing global warming please send a little of it up here? We could sure use it. Drive your SUVs up here and rev them up, my feet are cold. I'll even give you my turkey dinner. I won't need it as I have won a bet with a friend and he's buying me steak.

At least 200 narwhal whales in Canada's Arctic, trapped by winter ice and facing starvation or suffocation, must be culled, officials say. Hunters from the village of Pond Inlet on Baffin Island discovered the animals trapped near Bylot Island, about 17 kilometres from Pond Inlet, on November 15. The local hunters are allowed to harvest only 130 whales each year for food, according to standards set by the federal department of Fisheries and Oceans. But department spokesman Keith Pelley said: "It's unlikely the animals are going to survive the winter, so the hunters have been given authorisation to cull them." The hunters have been on the ice slaughtering the whales since Thursday and are likely to accomplish their task over the coming days, he said. Narwhal are found mostly in the Arctic circle, and are renowned for their extraordinarily long tusk, which is actually a twisted incisor tooth that projects from the left side of its upper jaw and can be up to three metres long. "A couple of weeks ago, when the ice was still moving, there were quite a few narwhal seen out there in the open water," Jayko Allooloo, chairman of the Pond Inlet hunters and trappers organisation, told public broadcaster CBC. "About a week later, they're stuck." http://news.smh.com.au/world/over-200-whales-trapped-in-canadian-ice-20081122-6e- as.html

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Nov 22, 2008 6:22 am) Fresh arctic air will spread over the East today, leading to more lake-effect snow downwind of the Great Lakes. Record lows will be challenged across the South tonight. A reinforcing shot of chilly air is pouring across the eastern half of the nation in the wake of a cold front. The cold will keep high temperatures below freezing over the interior Northeast and 10 to 20 degrees below normal across the South today. Blustery winds over the mid-Atlantic and South will result in even colder AccuWeather.com RealFeelŪ temperatures. We are still good here in San Diego. About 83 yesterday. Cooling off into the 70s today. |
