(However, during that time, you might get frost bite, depending on where you are and how you're dressed).<BR/><BR/>And roofs (why isn't is "rooves"?) dripping while the ground is frozen? Either poor insulation or it's sorta the reverse of bridges freezing first-- the inside of the house is warmer (hopefully) than the outside, and so the roof itself can be just fractionally warmer than the air and thus begin the whole dripping process.<BR/><BR/>bekeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474929881771241086.post-10018635498269897542009-01-09T13:50:00.000-06:002009-01-09T13:50:00.000-06:00On the noon news.... some people (usually media so...On the noon news.... some people (usually media sorts), regardless of where they are, seem to think the world revolves around the East Coast, meaning it would be noon at 11. (That's my answer, and I'm sticking to it.) <BR/><BR/>On all the melting snow verses freezing stuff... minute differences in temp, ie micro-climates, that create differences between just the road and the bottom of the car (also, the road is dealing with friction from the cars. The bottom of your car is not). (And once again, that's my answer and I'm sticking to it). <BR/><BR/>On Vit D... skin cancer, in general, was not an issue in this world until people started sunbathing (ie lying in the sun for hours). Think about all those farmers, all those kids who didn't come in until it got dark. People should've been dropping dead all over the place from skin cancer. But they weren't. Those farmers had sense enough to put on a hat, and those kids had sense enough to play in the shade. And I bet none of them suffered from Vit D defiencies. (Did I spell that word right?) (Freezing to death is another matter altogether.:-)<BR/><BR/>On DVD's and Blu-Ray.... I'm amazed I can figure out how to reply to a blog.:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
