Lupin1 Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 So apparently that should read "The Importance of Silly New Englanders Realizing That Terms Have Different Meanings in Different Places". I've lived at sea level my entire life and to us "snow level" means how high the snow on the ground is. Apparently in other places it's the actual official term for what elevation the snow will fall at. Opps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

still kicking Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Wow, 8,000 feet of snow, that would be a bit overwhelming. You would have to work pretty hard to shovel all that away. But speaking of wording, I live in Seattle, (WA, US), so what is the deal with "rain changing to showers" or "partly cloudy changing to partly sunny". (?) Aren't they pretty much the same thing? Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I lived in New England for around 15 years and I'm pretty sure we had 8,000 feet of snow at least one year.

Go figure.I asked my weatherman friend once about the partly cloudly/partly sunny thing and he said it had to do with percentages. Partly cloudy has a smaller percentage of the sky covered by clouds than partly sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensei8 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Here's our winter storm watch for tonight and tomorrow from the Weather Channel website:SNOW LEVELS...

Saying what you mean and meaning what you say can be a nightmare for a weatherman. Now...while the 8000 feet of snow is quite alarming to me, but, it's not as alarming to me as this...what's one going to do when ALL of that snow finally MELTS?? **Proof is on the floor!!!

Liver Punch Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 This is why we're all supposed to speak the same language. Can you image what kind of mistakes were made when communication consisted of a series of grunts? "A gun is a tool.
