Next week is going to be brutal, but starting next Saturday it goes to the lower 90's and maybe a little cooler through the next week. I don't know about me, but at least the cooling system on the old Bird is up to par.

For all our heat and dry weather, we do get a 'snowstorm' here in central CA(lol 6" to 12" maybe, depending on location), historically, once about every 30ish years. My grandmother remembered the one in the 30s when she was young, gramps told stories of his dad talking about one when they arrived here in the 1900s, my mom still talks about the 'big one' in the early 60s (stayed on the ground for 3 days!)....and I was around for the one in 1998. Just wait until it happens again sometime on the next 10 years or so....it will be the end of the world
I am fortunate to know my family history and to have been exposed to old pictures and memories of those who lived and experienced the 'old days' first-hand..

Wait a sec - are you folks talking about ASL (above sea level) like the rest of the world speaks?
What the heck is "above ground level"? We talking about being in a hot air balloon or plane or something?

OOOOPPPPSSSS!!!! I meant 5000ft AGL. Thanks...cr8crshr/Bill
Even better! That's one heckuva high-rise!
AGL is used by pilots. Sea level doesn't help you when your over land, you need to know how much room there is before you go ker-splat

Al which bridge is that? Looks real similar to the *new* eastern half of the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge.
Are cities buying bridge kits from Costco or Tractor Supply Store now wtf?!

Not to be a stickler, but I believe Beanhead, you meant to say MSL which is mean sea-level and used in conjunction with elevation measurements. AGL is used by pilots and meteorologists for things that are a certain altitude above the ground, like a plane or a cloud height etc.
CBS cares! LOL

Well yeah, I dig that - but when someone is speaking of their elevation where they are, they're not "AGL" unlessEven better! That's one heckuva high-rise!

they're in a plane or up in a high rise or something, correct?
Example: when I'm out here in my front yard, I can say that we're at "about 1600 feet" here, meaning above sea level (ASL) - but if I'm flying over my property in a helicopter, I could say I'm at 100 feet up and that would be (AGL), or a total elevation of 1700' ASL.

Nope I meant AGL because that was the term being questioned, as I explained...I'm not tryin' to sound snooty or anything but I do know what they all mean, as someone with flight experience. The second part of your post kinda repeated what I said..

That is the new Kosciuszko Bridge that goes from Brooklyn to Queens Ny. Great view of Manhatten for sure!!

Yep you got it Ed...pilots will use AGL in conjunction with the mean sea-level reading that idrive mentioned...seeing as how the OP spent a lifetime and then some in the USAF I ain't-a-gonna argue with him!Well yeah, I dig that - but when someone is speaking of their elevation where they are, they're not "AGL" unless
