But typically, the planet threw a curve ball didn't snow at all and decided to blow everyone away instead :|

Size 11? Jared is now in size 10 and he's 13 :s(14 at the end of the month) Today I went for a walk out at Apedale country park to take some pics with my old school camera(Canon AT-1) and it was wicked windy lol. Apart from the little bit of snow and the gale force winds we've had a very mild winter so far... but things could change.

I know! As for feeding him I'm getting my veggie garden up and running again this year in the bid to get the kids eating more vegetables so he's definitely going to grow more. :/

heres a thought as well---japan was moved somthin like 6 inches from that quake --may not sound like alot but what will the impact be of that much mass being moved?

The movement was the cause of the quake, not a result of it? Most quakes are the result of a sudden jolting movement of the tectonic plates where they have been pushing against each other.

At least thats my understanding

Well I'm not an oceanographer I'd assume there was some sort of effect, a wave or some such but we haven't heard anything so I suppose there was no major issue? Its not like Japan just upped roots and plunked itself in the middle of the gulf stream

I'm pretty sure tectonic plate movement is on a level below the oceans. So if Japan moved then the nearby ocean currents moved as well

The inn at the moment is becoming a bit of a science lesson, I <3 science but my interest is more honed to plants(I'm a horticulturist).

We've always had storms and stuff, nothing that unusual. It's still shocking, every time, what wind can do, though.

A friend of mine has got the same problem, just with what you'd call size 13

I don't miss the snow, I can really live without it.
