Thread: Massive grey steam in old faithful area

Anyone know if this is normal?

We in Denver area, along the front range got between 10-19 inches of snow. Only suppose to get another inch today. Wind is up so it is really whipping the drifts up making measuring difficult. My house got about 12 inches.

The kids love is as it was a snow day for most of the east slope in Colorado

Alaska to get a monster quake!

Hello beautiful people!

It is a bright, clear and a sunny late morning in the Seattle area. It's a frosty morning though. But you step out into the sun and it's like a mild spring day. But still frosty in the shade.

Punxsutawney Phil didn't see his shadow. So here comes an early Spring.

Good morning!.../Afternoon...

Enjoy it Deano!

We have bad storms rolling in tonight. They say the wind is going to be vicious. Possible tornado watch and it's only February! smh

Was near freezing here in San Diego this morning. Frost on my car going to work at 06:00. Flashbacks of my NY days. Was nice for 5 seconds.

Stay safe Jazzy!

49 and sunny here

Thank you! Always!

Obama Orders More Earthquake Resilience for Gov't Buildings
Feb 2, 2016, 1:56 PM ET

President Barack Obama has ordered all new or renovated federal buildings to be equipped with the latest protections against earthquakes.

Obama signed an executive order on Tuesday creating a Federal Earthquake Risk Management Standard. The White House says the standard will improve federal buildings' resilience to earthquakes, making them safer and lowering the costs for recovering from a quake.

Obama's order said that agencies constructing or updating federal buildings must ensure they're built with earthquake-resistant designs that meet the latest building codes. The White House said that following those codes is one of the best ways to save the lives of people living in a building.

The White House is also seeking to make more progress in deploying an early earthquake warning system along the West Coast. Federal agencies are exploring ways to speed up the permitting process for new seismic monitoring stations. . .
