I was going to mention the weather as an inducement to all you northern
hemisphere types, but the day I sent that announcement out we had a brief but
very spectacular 'tornadic event' of 90km hour winds.

But yes, I can say with a high degree of certainty that it won't be snowing.

cheers,

Being Canberra, I wouldn't bet on it...

As I type this in Denver, there are many reports of wind gusts in the 60 mph
range with a few reports of gusts over 80 mph. Highest report: 92mph!

We're past small dog warning, I think they about to issue the small people
wind warnings. Next is the small house warnings...

Tornadoes, hurricanes, downdrafts, wind gusts - Us Terrans have got it

Not quite that windy here in Wyoming.

Anyone have links to Cons in the Rocky Mountain States?

Clouds of frozen methane, and an atmosphere mostly hydrogen and helium?
