OT: Weather Out of Whack - a WWII cooler!

[Alan C]

Just for fun I've posted a scan of a crude evaporative fridge (called the 
Bullshitator) from my late Father's WWII snaps. This was taken in Abyssinia 
about 1940. All his war time images were taken with a black Brownie Box 
which I later used to begin my photographic distractions.

Paul & PJ, thanks for that.

I know about those & some people here have tried them. Unfortunately they
are better suited to arid, hot areas like the Middle East where
they are built into the flat roofed houses with a small air space above the
ceiling. When used in high humidity , low rainfall places like here they
do have some cooling effect but actually increase the humidity thereby
reducing their own effectiveness. I have seen one here where the evaporative
blinds were actually rotten with mildew. We have experimented with a towel
(with its lower end in a basin of water) draped over a fan, a sort of home
brew evaporative cooler with limited success.

By the middle of March the worst should be over.

I've experienced swamp coolers in temperate climates, and they're what
I'd call marginally ineffective.  Better than nothing but not much.  In
a desert they work a bit better but mostly at hydrating the air.  Unless
you have cold water they don't really seem cool anything.

Flat roofed houses like those in the Middle East & Mexico would be much

Normal High temperatures for February are around 54 deg F.

Temps are falling off now. It should be 40 deg overnight.

By Wednesday they're calling for a high of 52 deg F, more like regular
temperatures, but they're also calling for it to be back up to 70 deg F
by the weekend.

I just don't know what to think.

Re: Weather Out of Whack!

"I'm more worried about muscle strain than heart attack — I still run
40-50 miles a week so my fitness is pretty good (though I've been
closer to 30 miles a week for the past month, for obvious reasons)."

So presumably you race a few marathons? My running has nose-dived in the 
last year & I'm struggling to jog/walk 30km/week now. All sorts of aches & 
pains I've never experienced before.

I learned how to handle snow when living in Rochester: Shovel

better off than waiting till the end and trying to do it all on one

Re: Weather Out of Whack!

[Alan C]

Paul & PJ, thanks for that.

I know about those & some people here have tried them. Unfortunately they
are better suited to arid, hot areas like the Middle East where
they are built into the flat roofed houses with a small air space above the
ceiling. When used in high humidity , low rainfall places like here they
do have some cooling effect but actually increase the humidity thereby
reducing their own effectiveness. I have seen one here where the evaporative
blinds were actually rotten with mildew. We have experimented with a towel
(with its lower end in a basin of water) draped over a fan, a sort of home
brew evaporative cooler with limited success.

By the middle of March the worst should be over.

you have cold water they don't really seem cool anything.

RE: GESO - Coyles in New Orleans

[John Coyle]

Thanks Ann - actually didn't take any shots of food!  I must say we had both 
good and bad, but my
po'boy and jambalaya (different meals, of course!) were both excellent.
For great vegetarian, can recommend "1000 Figs" on Ponce de Leon St., near the 
junction with
Esplanade Ave - best beetroot salad I've ever tasted.

Hi Cotty - I used jAlbum to produce the interface, which is designed to use

also work on non-Java systems but maybe this is why you had a clunky experience?
But thanks for the compliments!

Thanks for posting, enjoyed looking. The interface is really clunky on my

ages to load and progress through, meant I gave up about halfway. Nice of what

Plus I don't doubt a certain amount of body mass increase to survive

upon seeing Texas deer for the first time: "they look like large

Yeah, the 36 hours might seem like a lot until everyone tries to get
out at once and the traffic becomes the issue.  Of course YC is not
Houston, but Houston also has several major interstates radiating out
from it and still people had a real hard time getting out of the city

Re: Weather Out of Whack!

I've experienced swamp coolers in temperate climates, and they're what 
I'd call marginally ineffective.  Better than nothing but not much.  In 
a desert they work a bit better but mostly at hydrating the air.  Unless 
you have cold water they don't really seem cool anything.

By Wednesday they're calling for a high of 52 deg F, more like regular

by the weekend.

forecast to be more like late March than late February.
Late March is when I get my puppy, in case anyone cares

I think he lives near Yuba City which is on the Feather River.

He frequently posts photos from Sutter Butte & Gray Lodge Wildlife area.
They're about 45 miles south-west of Oroville Dam.

When I was in Iraq, we had several days where the temperature went over

That's 55degrees Centigrade (131 in Funnymoney) so he decided to wait until

Here, it's dead normal February weather. ~0degrees, leaden skies (for weeks,

I've never seen it go over 43 deg C around here in the summer.

But it ain't summer here. We shouldn't be getting summer temps in the
middle of winter.

It was 47 deg C here on Saturday (that's over 115 deg F to save you the
conversion) - an all time record for February in western Sydney, and it
was only slightly cooler on Friday & Sunday.

We expect temperatures in the high 30s and occasionally the low 40s from
time to time in summer but I'm completely over Summer 2016/17.  Roll on
Autumn!

I'm more worried about muscle strain than heart attack — I still run
40-50 miles a week so my fitness is pretty good (though I've been
closer to 30 miles a week for the past month, for obvious reasons).

I learned how to handle snow when living in Rochester: Shovel
frequently during the snowfall (unless it's windy) and you're much
better off than waiting till the end and trying to do it all on one
go.

Re: OT - Oroville dam and JAck

Morning, Ann. No, we're not sitting on cots in a church basement. :)
That information is wrong. We received phone call advising of the
problem, but stipulating that they
we're advising of their RECOMMENDING evacuation but
is not being ordered.
Yuba City is a bit higher and further
from the subject dam. 
Many did evacuate. Some 88, 000
was estimated.
If a catastrophic water release were
to occurs, the water would not reach
YC for about 36 hours. Plenty of time
to get out.
Still here and still dry!
Thanks for asking. That 150-450
would be a problem to swim with?

Well, not yet, but hopefully this Friday, a brand new K-1 and 28-70
kit lens plus the 70-200 will arrive.  After much hand wringing, I
placed the order.  The missus was threatening to place the order
herself after hearing me talk about it enough.  lol. Now I need to
familiarize myself with the beast so I can get some decent shots of NZ
and AUS this coming December.  Oh, and the full solar eclipse coming
in August.  We have a place rented in northwestern Tennessee very near
the totality path. Any pointers on taking full on shots of the fully
eclipsed sun?  Lens choice, f-stop, filters? Never done that.

Re: Weather Out of Whack!

[Alan C]

40°C+ is hardly exciting, in fact totally debilitating. At the moment our 
house doesn't even cool below 30°C at night. The pitched roof houses the 
mines built here are totally unsuited to the Lowveld climate with that huge 
mass of hot air above the ceiling (very nice in "winter", mind you). Flat 
roofed houses like those in the Middle East & Mexico would be much better. 
Unfortunately, Aircons are too expensive to run for hours on end so we have 
to make do with fans. It would probably be better to sleep outside under a 
mosquito net. A couple of good rain storms would help a lot but they never 
seem to get here. Just heard there is a cyclone in the Mozambique Channel so 
we may be lucky yet.

New York is so boring - just normal winter temps -  35° F  (for those of
you who care I researched to find that ALT 248 = °.  I love alt codes)
However, the extra strong wind gusts predicted today may lift us out of

Normal High temperatures for February are around 54 deg F.

Temps are falling off now. It should be 40 deg overnight.

By Wednesday they're calling for a high of 52 deg F, more like regular
temperatures, but they're also calling for it to be back up to 70 deg F
by the weekend.

I just don't know what to think.

Photo.net very recently underwent an "upgrade."  It has been going in and

My mistake. I hadn't read the entire thread. Those Australian temps are insane. 
You would only see that here in the deserts of the southwest and only very 
rarely.

They're talking g in degrees Fahrenheit, Alan. The temperatures aren't extreme, 
they're just warmer than usual for February.
