Gary once read that all the New England states (sans Maine) can fit in San Bernardino County.

Probably. From my house, I can drive to all of the New England states (plus NY and N.J. if traffic cooperates) in the same amount of time it takes to drive from your house to San Diego.

Here, I zoomed out for you Gary, haha.

By the way, the differences in colors are because our utility provider changed their map legend after Irene and Sandy. It used to be that if 95-100% of your town was without power, it would show as black. When it took them 14 days to get to some of those communities, they decided that it would be better to have the colors relate to the number of customers instead. The hardest hit towns this time were smaller, so many of those oranges, Browns, and reds are towns that have nearly no customers in service right now.

...n the same amount of time it takes to drive from your house to San Diego.

36-48 hours?

but some of the jamming idiots around here still only clear what the wipers will take off the windshield. F****** lazy-a** b******s </rant>

I feel your pain. Both the wife and I have ranted about that for the past few years, and it seems to be getting worse. I had two instances earlier this year with snow. I was hit by a huge piece of snow flying off an SUV and nearly had a piece as large as my hood hit me from a tractor trailer.

It is illegal here to not clear off all the snow including from the roof even if you have a luggage rack you have to climb up there and clean it. They WILL ticket you if you don't.

We got about 6" of wet heavy snow. Beauty did a fine job.

It's illegal here, too (IIRC), but I've yet to see anyone pulled over for it.

Y'all. Seriously. We have the Internet at our fingertips!

San Bernardino County = 20,105 square miles
New England States (except Maine) = 36,285 square miles

San Bernardino County is about the same as the addition of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island (20,177 sq mi).

Values for each New England State:

Maine = 35,385 sq mi
Vermont = 9,616 sq mi
New Hampshire = 9,349 sq mi
Massachusetts = 10,565 sq mi
Connecticut = 5,543 sq mi
Rhode Island = 1,212 sq mi​

Well, I bet you could put all the currently WARM parts of New England, including Maine, into San Bernardino County.

@limr - keep the kitties close.

Yes the internet ... but not the inclination.

Here that's not usually a problem, and if it is, we stay inside till it melts - usually a couple of hours at the most LOL

But be fair now Gary, between the Sierra Nevada range and Death Valley there's roughly 45,000 sq. mi. of mostly uninhabitable country.

 

[JonA_CT]

You been to Maine, Smoke? haha. I'd say that about 30,000 of those square miles are relatively uninhabited.

Not according to Maine GIS map. See exactly how much of Maine is completely uninhabited
