I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean like in your front yard? Honestly, you say variation but what I'm commenting on is increasing volatility.

I don't think I get the use of "volatility" there, but that's no biggie. I was commenting on variation in weather in a single location, so yeah like at the house. But having that much geographic variation in a short distance is pretty cool, and would come with a pretty wide range of accompanying variations in weather, I'd assume. Around here, it's all piedmont/foothills or old mountains for quite a ways, except south/southeast, where it's all coastal plains for ages.

Well, I did not expect to have to walk to the post office today, from my office about 7 blocks. And I was certainly not dressed to walk in the oncoming polar vortex....but that is what happened...wind started to come on as I walked....although I did have on my short down jacket on....and I was not expecting that bus to run the light, thereby forcing me to run, which I was expressly told by my doctor not to do because of the arthritis....but that is what happened....so with 2 blocks left to walk to get to the post office.....my hips basically seized up and made walking difficult.... got to the post office, where it was warm...stayed a bit...and then walked back.....by he time I got back to my office my hips and left knee really REALLY hated me....and my hips are still not to happy with me.....Ibuprofen time

Don't do that anymore. It's not like you hadn't been warned - that polar vortex has been in the news for days.

Well I was I supposed to know. .... I thought it was ballet dancing polar bears....who knew it was cold and wind

Polar Express? Isn't that a Christmas book, and movie with like 4000 Tom Hanks in it?

 

[Monkey Turned Wolf]

Took over a coworkers shift...turned my 2 day week into a 5 day week. Luckily I've got a 3day weekend after

EXACTLY!!!! So none of my current hip pain is my fault...its Tom Hank's fault

 

[Xue Sheng]

Well...its 1 degree Fahrenheit here at the moment.... and that does not include the wind chill...tomorrow -25 to -35 windchill.....so stay warm...and good night MT

Just commiserating with @Xue Sheng about the cold weather.

Fair enough. It's cold weather all around tonight

Volatility like flooding, hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes, etc.

 

[Xue Sheng]

The temperature has come up 6 degrees since I got up this morning...now it is 1..... however if I factor in the wind chill it goes down 13 degrees to -12....

 

[Xue Sheng]

Actually NYS has all of those. Just we do not have as many Tornadoes as the mid-west or as many Hurricanes as Florida. We also have the occasional earthquake too, bot not as many as California. But flooding we have, but not of biblical proportions, and we most certainly get our share of blizzards. But IMO blizzards are the easiest to deal with.

A reasonable assumption.
