"...For those (click here) who are interested, the roof is kept inflated by fans at the top of the structure. When it snows, Metrodome operators heat the building to more than 80 degrees to melt away any accumulation. In extreme situations, workers are stationed on the roof to remove snow with fire hoses and hot water. (I’m not making this up.)..."
A lot of things happen when air from the Arctic Circle migrates down to the lower latitudes with hemispheric vortices are at work. Let's put it THIS WAY, COLD AIR SINKS. All the macho men from the world of PRO-BALL, including the Texans from the Mall of America didn't see this coming? Huh? Really?
There are a few LAWS OF PHYSICS at work here. Oh, physics. I guess that means science, huh? No rain dance? No holy men? Scientists? Oh, my.
See, when 'really cold' air comes down from the Arctic Circle where Polar Bears are also losing their habitats that means the air in the affected region is 'colder,' 'more dense' and HEAVIER. More dense air OCCUPIES less space.
Anyone getting the picture?
When the 'shift' from SUFFICIENT AIR MASS under the dome becomes INSUFFICIENT there is 'minor' movement that causes DAMAGE. I'll be darn. The DAMAGE then completely THROWS the 'air mass balance' off and DOWN IT GOES.
To make this EASY. "Think tipping point." I do all the time.
No need to thank me. I loved every second.
(annouced 40 minutes ago)...The NFL announced last night that the Giants-Vikings game was moved from today to tomorrow night (click title to entry - thank you) because Minnesota had at least 15 inches of snow and wind gusting over 30 mph and the New York team was waiting it out in Kansas City....
