I woke up this morning, fired up the ‘puter, checked the big weather map and saw this:
Looks like my new improved weather shield is working just fine (I never admited to owning the original shield by the way, I just passed it off as magic). I recently upgraded my equipment to handle most of the northeast portion of the US as I figure the mid-Atlantic and southern states need more snow handling experience. I have seen the Day After Tomorrow after all. Not all the time mind you as the northeast needs the occasional snow storm just to make sure the wells are nice and full in Spring.
Unfortunately, since my upgraded weather shield requires significantly more amperage, my direct power tap into the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant seems to have weakened the reactor cooling piping a bit and ground water tritium levels are on the rise again. My own fault for tying into a nuclear plant that was built in 1975 I suppose.
I guess I’m going to have to poll the folks down in Vernon, VT to get an idea what they would rather prefer–more snow or the possibility of hooking a 3 headed trout next summer?
I would be wary of that Yankee nuclear power plant if I were you. Dodgy reactors can be nasty.
Have you thought about hooking into Three Mile Island?

Grandad – I haven’t considered tapping into Three Mile Island since that little problem with the unit 2 reactor back in ’79. I’ve got the current limiter problems fixed by now of course, but I’d rather not take the chance. They’ve only got one reactor left.
So you have been doing your Weather Shield experiments since ’79? Fair play.

Yup, had an early prototype on the boat we had a spare megawatt or two from the reactor they let me use to power the thing. It came in handy when we hit port somewhere. The weather was always good.
