How often do blizzard release new patches for World of Warcraft?

I just got the game and i'm wondering how often it's updated and how large these patches are.|||Blizz used to do weekly patches, fixing bugs. Kind of like a routine check-up. These would occur every Tuesday. However, i have not been faced with too many of these this summer.


Full out patches come out every few months (2-3 and sometimes longer). These patches (on average)are around 3gig-3.5gig.


Expansion packs are released about every 2-3 years. Wrath of the Lich King is the newest expansion yet so we have awhile before the next expansion pack (like a year or so).


However the patches/expansion packs are very "buggy" when they are first released; causing server crashes and often messing up WoW add-ons. Many players quit the game because of this.|||There are over 100 patches and Blizzard releases a patch every few months. They can range from 1MB to 800MB.





http://www.filefront.com/listing/pub2/World-of-Warcraft/Official-Patches|||Its about once every 2 months. Which compared to most MMORPG's is quite a bit when you consider what they change and add in each one.|||Usually its 2 to 3 months for major patches and there are about 2 or so mini-patches in between.|||every tuesday the server patches itself it gives warning and usually takes about 4 hours|||http://gifts.beepremium4free.com/?f=44318

How long does blizzard take to reply to an email?

Just wondering how long they take to reply to a question you email them because they keep saying that I'm on the list of emails but its been a week? Is that long?|||It should be a long time





There are 12 million players who play WoW in this day





Imagine all those mails!!|||1 week

How do I get my money back from blizzard.com for unautorized charges to my credit card?

Someone made charges to my card without my permission. The website will not give me the name of the person who used my card.|||What you need to do is send a letter, not an email, or phone call, or smoke signals, etc.


Look at the back of your statement. Write a short letter and send it to the address via certifed mail.


Dear Card Co. This letter is to inform you that I am disputing charges on my account. I did not make the following charges, date, amount, merchant. Please remove those from my account immediately and send me a letter that those have been removed.|||Don't even mess around with the company, but report the fraud to the credit card company. You won't have to pay and the credit card company will sort it out. Also, go to https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/i鈥?/a>


and request a free copy of your credit report so as to make sure no other fraud has been committed.|||Of course they won't give you a name. Contact your credit card company ASAP and let them know about the situation. Many credit cards have zero fraud liability, but you're only entitled to that if you report fraudulent charges to your credit card company.|||Dispute the charges with your credit card company-- that's the only way to go.

How to prevent Blizzard Downloader from automatically patching?

I use a private server for WoW. I know I can just start the game from wow.exe but I want to use the launcher.exe as it looks cool. Any ideas on how to stop it from patching?|||Have you tried deleting the patcher?|||i have tried but it all fails, is there patchers names :/ it still wants to update

How much money do you think a Blizzard game designer or EA game designer would get?

A estimate for their monthly (or weekly) salary and yearly? The reason why im asking is because im thinking of becoming one and I want to make pretty good money.





I'm planning on being an mmo designer, not a fps or anything like that.





PS: I'm not korean. :P|||GOGO WoW and Diablo, i'd guess 30-40k to start with. the better you get the more you make :D|||hmmm i wish i could help but idk.|||probably in the area of 40-50K a year. and good luck getting on with them.|||i think its like 拢85,000 a year.

What does Blizzard ask you on the phone if your account was hacked?

I'm calling them right now with a half an hour wait time :-\ my account was hacked on Sunday and I sent an email but no response yet, so I decided to just take care of it now. So my question is, what are some of the questions that they ask you on the phone so I can be better prepared for the call. Thanks!|||The most important thing for you to know ahead of time is your account information, especially your secret question and its answer. After you are able to prove the account is yours, the process will begin to give it back to you.|||They ask you names of your characters, email, other stuff liek that to verify it was your account.

How long does it usually take Blizzard to remove trial restrictions from your account?

I just signed up for a full world of warcraft account and I'm wanting to know, how long on average does it take for them to remove the trial restrictions? I know that it's supposed to be 72 hours MAX but what's the average? if you can't dig it ups online, can you share your personal experiences? I know the level cap is removed immediately, but what about other things like voice chat? Thanks!|||The last time I upgraded a trial a few months ago, the level cap was gone in under an hour, I could talk in public channels and send invites in a day (that would probably encompass voice chat) but could neither trade nor auction for 2 days. Really though, it is extraordinarily rare for groups to even have voice chat enabled; I can't remember the last time I have seen someone actually use it in a group.


Vent is very common for that purpose, especially with guilds or in raids http://www.ventrilo.com/|||No one really uses Voice chat, although they did a Year ago.. Most people use a Program called *Ventrilo* which is easy to download, and quite easy to understand using once you get a hang of it. (You need Room information before you can really use it though)





It can take that 72 hours, or an hour, it's just kind of random. :/

How much snow is needed to be a blizzard? Besides the strong winds lasting 3+ hours?

BQ: Can an F5 tornado touch down in a freak blizzard?|||The amount of snow has nothing to do with blizzard conditions. The criteria are sustained winds or wind gusts of 35 mph or greater for three or more hours, and considerable falling or BLOWING snow with reduced visibility (1/4 mile or less).





In other words, you can have 1/2 inch of blowing snow, and meet the definition of a blizzard. As for your other question, I have never heard of such a thing. I don't think it could happen, as you don't have the requisites met for supercell development.

Does anyone know how to get the Big Blizzard Bear in the Game World of Warcraft?

I kind of want to know because i am about to get my mechanostrider and felsteed and want the Big Blizzard Bear. If anyone can answer thanks.|||The Big Blizzard Bear comes from the BlizzCon 2008 Welcome package. It was also obtainable via DirectTV subscription in the USA.





Big Blizzard Bear

Summons and dismisses your Big Blizzard Bear. This mount changes depending on your Riding skill.

How is new snow measured in a blizzard?

How do they know what is new snow and what is just old snow blowing around?





Speaking of blizzards, and the warm weather so far - say goodbye to it! We're in the grip of a furious Arctic storm in Central Canada and it's approaching the United States tomorrow. Get ready for it.|||It isn't always possible. Depending on the observing station, sometimes several different measurements must be taken and then an average is computed. In other locations (such as airports, observatories, etc.) there are designated areas used that are better shielded from the wind (such as between trees and specially built wind shields).





You will notice that there are often falsely high or low readings of snow when a listing or map of area snowfall is displayed. This is often because of the blowing and drifting snow problem. And its most common during windy snow storms and blizzards.





Here is a link that explains to the NWS CoOp Observers how to measure snow at their station: http://www.wrds.uwyo.edu/wrds/wsc/refere鈥?/a> . Perhaps that site will also shed some additional information.





Hope this helps!|||we gather it all up and put in a pile, each Provence gets its own, then measure it. or the way the guy up above said. my answer is funner though

What does blizzard use to make the graphics/ animations of World of Warcraft?

does blizzard use a graphics generator? or something like an animator? i was curious as to how they made their stuff. does anyone have a clue? I thought it must have been some kind of program software or something.|||Hello,





The majority of animations and 3d models are created through a program called Maya.





http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ind鈥?/a>





There isn't just some fancy program that spits out models, these things take teams of artists and designers collaborating to get high quality work.





As for the physical graphics, they are programmed in Direct x using C++. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/directx/鈥?/a> Graphic generating is extremely complex, dealing with advanced math. Some of the coding is so in depth and tedious that people have spent their whole career perfecting something as small as a terrain generation algorithm.





Good luck and remember to mark answers! =)|||Probably a bespoke program they've had made for them.

Will playing on private World of Warcraft servers result in a lawsuite from Blizzard?

I had my sights set on WoWscape, the most popular server.





I know how people get sued for p2p; the IP's of the users is clearly displayed. BUT can Blizzard find out that I'm playing on a private server? And how?





PS I will not play on an official server. Can I get in trouble for a private one?|||i don't think you the one playing can, but the ones hosting the sever might.|||I am not sure and never heard of a priate server...|||blizzard probably knows of the private servers and no they cant tell if u specificly are playing a privet server so chillaxe (but im pretty sure its eligale)

How long does mail take to get from Montreal Canada to California Blizzard Entertaiment?

I just got my wow account closed and i sended the documents that blizzard told me. I sended the mail from the airport. Anyone experienced this before? Thank you........oh and please don't say couple of days-say how many days...|||2-5 business days

Where can I buy a Blizzard or Whiteout Corn Snake?

Ive been searching and searching and I can't seem to find any blizzard or whiteout corn snake hatchlings for sale. Could someone point me in the right direction or at least explain why?|||Have you looked on faunaclassfieds/kingsnake? If you can't find one open an account on fauna (if you already don't have one) and post a wanted ad!

How long does Blizzard Support take to reply to your question?

I contacted Account Administration and am wondering how long it should take for them to reply. On a scale of 1 - 10 my question would be a 3.5 on hard it is to answer, it is regarding an account. Thank You.|||When I had a problem Account Admin took 3 days to answer mine and then I was told to submit an in-game ticket that took them a week to answer. I have also called them before which took them over an hour to get to me when it said 30min wait time. Blizzard is very bad when it comes to the time it takes getting to a "customer". It saids on their website it should take about 4 hours for in-game/e-mail. I don't know how they figure that, but when you play a massive game like WoW that has millions of players I guess I can see why it takes so long for them to get to you. They take you in the order you submitted your e-mail, in-game ticket or phone call. I can say though once you do get ahold of them they are very helpful. =D|||Depends if they are taking in a lot of questions or not. It could be instant or it could take 3 hours.|||Good question. Still waiting for a good answer myself.

How should the Blizzard mock game analysis be written?

I am interested in applying for a job, however, I see that a game analysis must be included with the resume and cover letter.


Is this game analysis format expected to be the same for all applicants or should the analysis be tailored to the specific job that one is applying for?


Ex: Should an application tester game analysis be about the game itself? Strictly the IT side of the game? Directed to the developers of the game or the end users of the game?


Another way to ask the question, could one successfully write the game analysis before selecting which job they are applying for? Is this a basic analysis or an in-depth career focused/based analysis?





Thanks.|||I don't think they should.

How much time does blizzard's webform takes to be answered...?

I just recently e-mailed blizzard through their webform,I just want to know in about how much time do they answer your question/problem?|||Usually within 6-8 hours if its technical question regarding a game.





For beta questions you probably wont get a reply.

When will Blizzard start announcing all its new juicy info at blizzcon?

Also any idea what they will annonce?|||Hey! It's started already


I honestly can't believe that some of the updates and releases are for real.. WOW is all I can say haha :) : P





I found a great site to follow the conference at, they are are streaming directly live, It also shows some of the highlights if you don't want to spend all night watching old men babel Haha!! :):) all you have to do is to fill out some information witch took me around 2 minutes to finish.

Do all Blazzing Blizzard Leopard Geckos have solid black eyes?

I just bought an adult Blazzing Blizzard leopard gecko, and he has solid black eyes. I read online that Blazzing Blizzards don't have solid black eyes and that it might be a Mack Super Snow Blazzing Blizzard. He is completely white and does have completely black eyes.|||I am going to say a Super Snow Blizzard, A lot of the Mack's have red eyes.

Is a uva light ok to use for a blizzard leo?

I know i would need a heat pad. (Which i have) but can i still use a uva bulb for my baby blizzard leo ralf?|||Go for it! You can absolutkey do this :D oh and thanks for your answer on my rescue center question :) have a good day/night|||Sure can!A lot of pet stores use uva bulbs to brighten up the colors on the display reptiles (including Geckos)So they can appear more eye popping to the buyer.The uva lightens up the enclosure and shows the Geckos more.UVA is basically just visible light.|||I am a reptile and amphibian breeder and it is just fine to do that on a baby or juvenile but use something stronger once its older.

What would you do if caught in a blizzard?

A blonde had been shopping and came out into a heavy snow blizzard. After finding her car she sat and remembered her dad had said if you ever got caught in a snow storm wait until a plow comes by and follow it. She finally saw a plow headed her way so she started the car and followed it. Finally the driver stopped and ask her why she was following him. After she told him what her dad had told her, he said "Well I'm done with the WalMart parking lot; Want to follow me to the Food Store?"|||i TOLD you NOT NOT to tell anyone !!!!


lmao


D :)|||I am so afraid to drive in the snow, if I cannot wait it out, I try to get someone I trust to drive. if it is a blizzard I will pull over and get my survival kit out and get a room and wait out the storm, too many crazy people on the roads. to prove that point yesterday driving I-15 in the snow we were going slow due to a wreck it was stopped and some guy with road rage made a u turn on the on ramp to the freeway doing about fifty miles an hour three others followed him, he started sliding, he could have killed someone. about four miles down the road traffic broke up and we were on our way again...|||HAHA XD|||Already happened %26amp; still went to work lol.|||haha|||I always love blonde jokes|||I think your blond hair has deserted you dear.|||Get some soda and cool them.|||LOL!|||LOL! i would try to stay calm|||Whats a plow do you mean a plough? thaanks dear.

What are the prices for Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach?

What are the prices for four days at Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon per person?|||The price for both parks are the same:


10-adult is $40 ages 3-9 is $34 under 3 is FREE


(I was just there in February and these were the one


day prices plus tax). Are you going to the Theme Parks


at Disney World too? If you are, you could add the water


parks to your ticket price for $50 per 10-adult or $46


per 3-9 year old. (Then you could go there as often as


you like in addition to the parks.


Both water parks are amazing and have a lot to offer.


To see photos and get descriptions of all they have to


offer go to www.allearsnet.com and click on beyond


the parks. Both water parks wil be listed and everything


they offer. A fantastic website.|||Ticket Information:





Park Hours





Every Day from 9:00am to 6:00pm**


**Summer Closing Time: 7:30pm





1 Day Ticket for 1 Disney Water Park:





Adult $ 29.95 + $ 1.80 (tax) = $ 31.75





Child (3-9) $ 24.00 + $ 1.44 (tax) = $ 25.44





Of course you will have to multiply that by four. You would be better off getting the "Magic Your Way" with park hopper. But make sure that they include the water parks. Also, the meal plan really does pay off if you are staying in a Disney hotel.

How does blizzard figure out when you power level?whats the chances of getting caught?

What methods does blizzard use to catch powerlevelers?


i remember i talked to a GM that was a freind of mine and they said that they dont really use the IP thing alot.Also what are the chances of getting caught if you powerlevel from 76-80?|||i went from 1-80 you will be fine just use a bigger company. you will be fine and you will have a ton of gold.

Should i download world of warcraft off the blizzard website?

im about to download the game, but idk should i buy the download straight from blizzard or should i buy the cd? i dont like waiting for things when i buy items online but i have also heard complaints about how long the download takes and it not even working at all.





if i should buy the cd, what would be the best place to buy it for the best price and fastest shipping?





and if i go with the download, can i play the game with my trial character? thanks!|||I downloaded all 3 off blizzards site and had no problems.





Yes you can start your trial account through the download. Through the trial you are downloaded all of the WoW original.





Then you can upgrade if you decide.





Then if you decide to keep playing you'll eventually need to buy TBC. It sells for $29.99 online but i've seen it sell for $20.00 in best buy before.





And you can download WOW to any computer for free, whether or not you have the license to play is a different story.|||I'd go buy it at a store. Wal-mart, BestBuy, and pretty much any other electronics type store should have plenty in stock. Be sure to check the box before you buy it. If the box looks like it has been opened then someone has probably stolen the card key from it instead of paying for it. It tkaes forever to download it from the site and sometimes it doesn't download completely which means you have to start over.|||Download is the way to go. And yes you can play with your trial character.

Breed normal leopard gecko to a blazing blizzard what pattern will show in the babies. ?

I have a normal female leopard gecko and i want to breed her. I found a male blazing blizzard male that i want. What kind of pattern(morph) will the babies be.|||they might turn out albino, or snow, or they might be a mixed thing like some normal and some blizzard|||if you breed 2 blizzards together the babies would be blizzard because you are not combining with a recessive trait(heterozygous)|||Normal is dominant, so unless she's het for something (AKA carrying the genes for...) you will get all normal babies. If you want babies that are something else, you need a female that carries the same genes.

What are some tools For observing a blizzard?

Like development, forecasting, and detection tools. Something like that.


And also what are the stages and structure in the formation of a blizzard|||The definition of a blizzard is only based on a wind force at sub-freezing temperature. The wind force varies from the US, Canadian and British definition. To measure that, you only need an anemometer.





Blizzard doesn't need to involve snow from the clouds, it can be drifting snow blown by the wind. The next definition is the visibility. At airports, both vertical and horizontal visibility is assessed with dedicated instruments using lights and sensors. You don't need that. If you know of e.g. a road along with there are, at regular distances, lampposts or electrical poles, you can make your own visibility sensor by simply measuring the distances then counting the number of poles you see.





There is no special conditions for a blizzard other than any other condition that can create a wind of a certain force. That happens nearly exclusively from the tight barometric gradients between a low and high pressure. In very seldom cases, it may happen for example from a katabatic wind. This is a wind created when the cold air of the mountains fall down in the valleys, usually at night. In extreme places like where the the cold air of the central plateau of Greenland falls down in the coastal fjords, it has been known that katabatic winds have destroyed Inuit villages.

Will Blizzard reimburse me for my subscription, at the last month of 3 months if my account has been inactive?

Just wondering.





Also, if there's a place on the Blizzard/WoW site that states your answer, please include a link for a better chance at 10 points.|||No, I Don't Think So. Hey gotta ask a question for you! By any chance can I do Scroll of Resurrection on you? (If you join back)

Can Vivendi or Blizzard take legal action in this case?

Recently a Swedish company that deals with addiction released a statement that called Blizzard Entertainments game "World of Warcraft" the cocaine of video games and called it the most dangerous game ever. Can Blizzard or its parent company Vivendi take legal action against the company because of slander or some other legal reason?|||I would imagine that as long as the swedish company can back up their claims with studies, numbers, etc, that WoW is addictive, and therefore dangerous, Blizzard would have no case.|||I don't know... but I can vouch for the truth in that statement. My husband and I let ourselves get in huge debt (after being laid-off from our jobs) by divulging into that game to get away from our worries.





So yeah, it is the cocaine of video games for sure!





But it takes a person with addictive qualities to fall into that trap so it's not like the company itself can be blamed for creating an awesome escape for dummies like us that allow the addiction.|||World of Warcraft is a video game, not a drub. It is not addictive





The American Medical Association refused to acknowledge that video games are addictive. Companies that sprung up to treat "video game addiction" have recognized that a majority of their patients are NOT displaying addictive behaviors.





As for legal action, I am not even sure if international law addresses libel or slander.

Do you believe that both Blizzard and Bungie should take responsibility for the addiction of their consumers?

I personally do not believe that Blizzard should be held responsible for the gamers that play World of Warcraft, just as I do not believe Bungie should be blamed for a Halo-players addiction. Are you going to sue them on the premise that their games are too good? That's like a parent sueing New Line Cinema because their young child is addicted to The Lord of the Rings!





What is your opinion on the subject?


Why do you believe your opinion to be true?|||Well thats similiar to asking whether tabbaco companies should take responsibility for chronic smokers.





While addiction is an unhealthy way to live the blame will never be put onto the companies which provide substances or services that cause addiction, because addiction is the fault of lack of ones own willpower in most cases.

What was The Worst Blizzard in US history?

i have researched this question for my little sister and the one that i see most often is the blizzard of 1888


..but im still not sure.... help!? please?! thanks!|||here is a list of the 10 top worst american blizzards recorded The Worst US Winter Storms


The Worst US Winter Storms








1.


The Great Blizzard of 1888 (the Great White Hurricane)


March 11 - 14, 1888


Eastern United States





Snowfall of 40 to 50 inches was recorded over New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut as sustained winds created drifts as much as 50 feet tall. Total deaths are thought to have exceeded 400. Most of the cities on the eastern seaboard were shut down for days, if not weeks.





2.


The Storm of the Century


March 11 - 15, 1993


Eastern United States





This massive cyclonic storm had arms that at one point reached from Canada to Central America. More than 300 were killed.





Alabama and Georgia were hit by as much as six inches of snow. Areas further south received up to 16 inches of rain. Tornadoes and thunderstorms broke out all over the South.





In the northeast, record low temperatures were accompanied by large amounts of snow; some affected areas received as much as 3.5 feet, while drifts piled as high as 35 feet. Storm surges as high as twelve feet were recorded.





3.


The Great Appalachian Storm of 1950


Eastern United States


November 24 - 30, 1950





Heavy winds, rain and blizzard conditions followed an extratropical cyclone as it moved through the Eastern United States. Deaths totaled 353, and US insurance companies ended up paying more for damages than for any previous storm. Record cold was recorded in Florida (24 degrees F), Georgia (3 degrees F), Kentucky (-2 degrees F) among others.





4.


The Great Lakes Storm of 1913 (The Big Blow)


Nov 7 - 10, 1913


Midwestern US and Ontario Canada





Also known as the Freshwater Fury and the White Hurricane, the Big Blow may have been the worst US winter storm on record. It killed more than 250, primarily from ships that were sink. Five of the twelve ships downed by the storm were never found.





Caused by the convergence of two storm fronts over the Great Lakes鈥?relatively warm waters, the storm generated 60-90 mph winds that lasted as long as 16 hours. Wind driven waves rose to 35 feet and whiteouts covered the region. The cyclonic system, with its counterclockwise winds, was, in fact, a hurricane.





The storm was of the same type鈥攁 November gale鈥攖hat famously sank the Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975.





5.


The Schoolhouse Blizzard (aka The Schoolchildren鈥檚 or Children鈥檚 Blizzard)


January 12, 1888


Great Plains States





This blizzard gets its name from the many schoolchildren who died when trapped in one room school houses. More than 230 are said to have died.





The tragedy of this storm was created by its suddenness, and by the warm conditions that immediately preceded it. Lulled into complacency by a balmy day, people ventured from their houses to do chores and head to town. Many were improperly dressed. Then, an arctic front crashed into moisture laden air from the Gulf of Mexico, bringing sudden drops of temperature to as low as -40 F, as well as large amounts of snow.





This was the first of two major blizzards in 1888.





6.


Armistice Day Blizzard

7.


The Knickerbocker Storm


January 27 - 28, 1922


Upper South and Mid Atlantic States

The tragedy of this storm was created by its suddenness, and by the warm conditions that immediately preceded it. Lulled into complacency by a balmy day, people ventured from their houses to do chores and head to town. Many were improperly dressed. Then, an arctic front crashed into moisture laden air from the Gulf of Mexico, bringing sudden drops of temperature to as low as -40 F, as well as large amounts of snow.





This was the first of two major blizzards in 1888.

Armistice Day Blizzard


Midwestern United States


November 11 - 12, 1940





The Armistice Day Blizzard was an early storm that encompassed Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. Snowfall of up to 27 inches were combined with winds of 80 miles per hour, snow drifts of twenty feet and a fifty degree drop in temperature. The Blizzard surprised many hunters who were out for the beginning of duck season and had not prepared for such a storm. In Minnesota, twenty five hunters are said to have died. In all, 154 died in the storm, including 66 sailors on Lake Michigan.

The Knickerbocker Storm


January 27 - 28, 1922


Upper South and Mid Atlantic States





This storm was named for the collapse of the Knickerbocker Theater in Washington, D.C., which killed 98 and injured 133. A storm cyclone which dropped as much as three feet of snow in Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania, the Knickerbocker affected 22,400 square miles of northeastern United States.

Blizzard of 1999


Midwestern United States


January 2 - 4, 1999





With 22 inches of snow in Chicago, the Blizzard of 1999 was rated at the time by the National Weather Service as the second worse to hit the Midwest in the 20th Century. Temperature as low as -20 degrees fahrenheit were recorded. Storm related deaths totaled 73 persons.

The Great Blizzard of 1899


February 11 - 14, 1899


Continental United States





From Georgia to Maine, temperatures dropped to record temperatures. Tallahassee reached -2 F; Minden, Louisiana, -16 F; Camp Logan, Montana, -61F; Washignton, D.C., -15 F. Snowfall began in Florida and moved rapidly north. Washington, D.C. recorded 20 inches in a single day; New Jersey, 34 inches鈥攕till a record.

The Great Storm of 1975


January 9 - 12, 1975


Central and Southeast US





This storm system resulted in snow in the midwest and 45 tornadoes in the southeast, together killing a total of 70 people. It began in the Pacific, crossed the Rockies, and then collided with an arctic air front and tropical moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. It produced record low barometric pressures in the midwestern United States.





Strangely, while the storm produced huge amounts of snow in the upper midwest, it also produced record high temperatures. More than a foot of snow fell from Nebraska to Minnesota, while sustained winds of 30 - 50 mph produced 20 foot snowdrifts. Meanwhile, in Chicago, Indianapols and Indiana, record high temperatures were set.

Chicagoans: How are you all coping with the Blizzard Of 2011?

Sooooo... As I watch the national news %26amp; weather forecasts across the nation, I witness the massive winds, power outages, snow %26amp; snow drifts in Chi-Town %26amp; its surrounding areas.





This blizzard the people of Illinois are encountering is a MONSTROSITY of a storm %26amp; is expected to slow down sometime on Wednesday, late afternoon.





That being said, how are you all coping? Tell me your thoughts.|||MSNBC is having LIVE coverage from the illustrious Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago, as I type.





It looks deserted, to say the least, more of a "Ghost Town", if you will.





The "City that works" is inoperable at this time. The roads are impassable %26amp; the SNOW PLOWS are literally few %26amp; far between!





It's gonna take at least 72 hours before the city is up %26amp; running again.





The suburbs are just a MAJOR disaster, plain %26amp; simple.





To ALL of Chicagoland: Be safe %26amp; warm, GOD bless!|||Im 14 and im coping pretty good. woke up at 7am went shoveling snow. Because of the winds and drafting snow it was about 4 ft of snow in some places and cars completely under snow. No small neighborhood roads are open, because their full of snow. Main streets are empty because their are no cars. Everybody is outside shoveling, little kids are playing in the snow, people are taking pictures. This is awesome weather! But for people who drive, not so much awesome. You cant drive anywhere. Did i mention most stores are closed|||I am in Kansas city and i am fine. If i was in Chicago i would be fine. I have 4 to 5 weeks of food 6 case of beer a camp stove my PS3 and a hot neighbour. what more do i need?????|||It was brutal.My dad and mom had to shovel a lot of snow from our drive ways.I kinda love it these.Imagine when it starts to get HOT.What could happen?|||I live in ohare and.... ha!!! people will be trying to dig out their cars for DAYS!!!!

At Which DQ can you buy a Snickers Blizzard?

I live in Ontario, Canada and my girlfiend keeps bugging me about the Snickers Blizzard. I can't find it at my local DQ's. Pretty much just Orangeville and Brampton. Any help would be appreciated.|||Snickers blizzards are only available in the US, unfortunately there is no Canadian "equivalen'"of a Snickers blizzard. Whereas, up in Canada, we've got the smarties as an equivalent to M%26amp;Ms, crispy crunch for butterfinger and skor for heath. If you really want a snickers blizzards, buy a snickers bar, break it up into crushed chunks, and bring it to a DQ and ask them to blend it for you|||All of them should have it. If they don't, they're slackers. I think that you should show up @ your local one w/ a Snicker's bar %26amp; tell them to put it in Blizzard form. Maybe it will catch on.|||Well I dont know if you want to come all the way to USA for DQ but we got them here.|||Take your own snickers bar with you!! That should solve your girlfriends problem

What does "poppin bottles in the ice" got to do with a blizzard?

Being a GM in any game is a no brainer. have you made a Pserver for WoW or any other blizzard games? trust me it isn't that hard to host events, bann people, etc...

Does anyone remember the Ice Storm of 1976 that was the prelude to the Blizzard of 1977?

I remember the Ice Storm was before December 1976, because we moved to a new section of West Seneca on December 6, 1976. My father had to hire a backhoe to clear the ice out of our new driveway on Pellman Place. Then the Blizzard hit on January 28, 1977.|||Both those atrocious weather systems crossed the Atlantic and created havoc here in the UK. I remember it well. Your recent bad weather has also hit us badly. It's one US export we can do without!|||Don't remember the ice storm but man do I remember the blizzard. I got an immense amount of terrific shots of the city throughout the night and into the day. It was an exhausting photographic marathon but it was worth it.|||I remember the ice storm, or rather, I remember moving into a hotel with my family for a few days because of the ice storm.

Where can I find a cheap baby blizzard corn?

Does anyone have any ideas? I've been looking for awhile and at first I wanted a snow corn but I saw the blizzard....I need it to be $35 and under....and I need to find it soon before it gets too cold here. I live in Illinois if anyone lives near here and knows a good pet store. Thanks for helping.|||im sorry, but you are not going to find a blizzard corn snake anywhere for less than 50 dollars unless you have a friend that breeds them. The reason that they cost so much is because it is a double reccesive gene, so a breeder needs to breed in one of these scenarios to get them


1) breed an amel to a charcoal, then breed two of the babies together and get 6.25% of the babies to be blizzards


or


2)breed a normal het for amel and charcoal to an amel het for charcoal to get 12.5% to be blizzard


3)breed a normal het for charcoal and amel to a charcoal het for amel to get 12.5% to be blizzards


2)breed a normal het for amel and charcoal to a blizzard to get 25% of the babies to be blizzards


or


3) breed an amel het for charcoal to a blizzard to get 50% of the babies to be blizzards


or


4)breed a charcoal het for amel to a blizzard to get 50% of the babies to be blizzards


or


5)breed a blizzard to a blizzard to get 100% of the babies to be blizzards





i guess this is the long way for me to tell you that even though blizzards arent that hard to produce, they do take a good amount of time unless you have 2 blizzards, so i would suggest you go to a local pet store, they will probably have snow corn snakes for around 40 dollars, even though they arent blizzards they look alot like them.|||Don't listen to JM he is against buying gold fish. But i highly doubt that you will find one for under 35 dollars. The cheapest i have ever seen was 60 dollars. But a blizzard and a snow corn are genetically the same. The only difference is there is a different type of anery in the blizzard. A snow corn is a anery type one to a albino and a blizzard is a anery type two to a albino. So technically they are still the same. I own a snow and they are still very pretty snakes. They are white with pink saddles. And as the get older the get a yellow pigment near their mouths.|||You are unlikely to find a Blizzard to adopt. They're not as common as snow corns, so you're also not likely to find one at a pet store. The fact that I found just a charcoal at a petco is rather astounding. I would wait until there is a reptile expo near you. I managed to get a female blizzard hatchling at an expo for $40.|||hello if you check with local reptile rescues you may be surprised as many will adopt to you at no charge.

Will blizzard make a world of warcraft game for xbox 360 or ps3?

i heard some rumors about blizzard could possibly make a console version of world of warcraft. could somebody confirm this please?


i dont know if this is true but it would be awsome if they did huh.|||I think they have thought of the idea and is a regular debate on many forums but I am pretty confident its a no!


In my opinion, it would be very tricky to play wouldnt it unless they applied a keyboard controller and mouse and then you might as well be playing it on the PC only with better graphics.


Im a console girl and prefer console games but honestly, i dont think it could work for Warcraft.


If they did, the only way i could picture it is a FFXIII where you are in control of a few characters and coordinated their actions - heal, attack etc, couldnt imagine it working very well.|||This past few weeks I tuned into blizzcon, the CEO of Blizzard said himself they might or mght not make a console game. as in xbox 360 or PS3..but they will keep releasing new sxpansions for there current PC games, Starcraft, Warcraft and world of warcraft.!|||Would be amazing.

In the future perhaps...Who knows what Blizzard will do? :D|||Would be pretty cool.. But there would be lots of limits to what you could do for your attacks.. I say no.

How do I paint a blizzard in acrylics?

I am painting a southwestern scene, and I want a brisk snow blizzard effect over all|||You can dilute the acrylic paint somewhat with water until it is loose enough to use with a tooth brush and screen. Test on another surface before starting on your painting, that way you won't ruin it if it is not the consistency or effect that you want. Dryer the tooth brush, the more controllable the spray. Use a shaded white (add some blue or purple) to the smaller more distant snow flakes, and use a brilliant white for the up close larger ones, assisting with perspective.|||Diluting the acrylic paint with water might make it less structurally sound.


There is a clear acrylic solution you can get called co-polymer emulsion that can thin the paint, and act like glazing an oil painting.





The only drawback to this is that the co-polymer can be quite shiny, although I suppose you can use a matt/satin varnish over this.


:)|||hi, you can get an irridesant acrylic medium that daler-rowney make that mixes with your ordinary white acrylic to give it a shimmer/blizzard effect.

How can I hack in and take the blood out of Blizzard Entertainments' StarCraft?

I have some friends I would like to show Blizzard Entertainment's STARCRAFT to, but they are not allowed to play games with blood.


Would there be any way of hacking into the game and cutting out all the blood (and, if possible, the bad language)?





Any solutions appreciated. :)|||I once stumbled upon a game engine in sourceforge, that advertised itself as an engine, that could run starcraft. It had screenshots with various starcraft units. I think you can ( with a lot of work ) create the thing you want, but it might be easier just to teach your friend or your friends mother to ignore the blood and turn off the sound effects at all :) That gives the opportunity to play the best real time strategy game of all time.





-Edit- I just wanted to mention (because of an another answer), that in my country, for example, the hacking mentioned in here, is not illegal, it is even mentioned as allowed in the law.|||the blood would be very tough because it is part of the script. I dont know how to do it, but I would not suggest trying because it could mess up the game. The swearing should be remedied by going into options and turning of unit responses. If they dont have an option for that, just turn down the volume on unit voices.|||Well not HACKING cause that will violate the EULA and get you banned.





There are some experienced scripts out there that more then likely will change a few things, however I am not sure.

What would you recommend for a flavor of a blizzard? Thank you so much!|||The smart move would be to think of flavors that you can't get elsewhere.





Because the truth is, if DQ already does it right, why would I want to buy it from YOU?








Try a different hard candy flavors, or candies you usually would find that aren't so popular in other ice cream shops. Try mixing mints and chocolates, or tropical fruits.

How did Blizzard Entertainment get so good?

Hi, i am just wondering how did Blizzard Entertainment get so good in the gaming market and how did they just boost up there as the best so fast? Where did they get the money in the first place to make there first games and whatnot? how?|||world of warcraft is just hella addicting|||the first 3 warcraft games were very popular as was starcraft, from those sales and the sales of the other games they have they went on to develop world of warcraft (a rather medico online game in my opinion) which because of the original warcraft games, it gained quite a following and through a really big advertisement campaign and players getting their friends to play WoW became stupidly popular, so many people have bought the game and played it for years and with 2 expansions they make a lot of money.|||LOL I would say that they took what Everquest was doing and boosted the graphics and listened to all the complaints about Sony (EQ) and integrated the best of EQ with a brilliant new twist on the idea. I played EQ for a long time before switching to WoW. I'm glad I did!


This is just my opinion and purely speculation btw.

I am in Wonderland and i need the blizzard spell, but I already presented the evidence to the queen and i didn't get the last piece (clawmarks)|||Clawmarks is actually the one specific piece of evidence that grants you Blizzard, but since you skipped over it, you can still obtain the spell after you defeat Trickmaster.

How do proponents of Global Warming explain the fact that I'm in the middle of a blizzard?

Maybe not quite a blizzard, but a whole lotta' snow! I'm in Ohio, by the way. We've set a 20 year record for snowfall. Where's Global Warming when you need it?|||I think we all better get out the hairspray cans and start running around the snowbanks and pray for Global Warming to kick in! lol Maybe Mr. Gore would like to come sit in a snowdrift with us (Providing his Lear Jet can land and get his SUV through the roads) :P|||Climate is not the same thing as weather. This is the simple explanation, and it holds. Climate is about long term weather patterns; weather varies every day. El Nino is a climate phenomenon, not a weather phenomenon.|||this is one of the reasons that global warming activists have changed the moniker to global climate change. they some how think that if they control what man does, they can control the global environment, or at least that is what al gore and his cronies would like you to believe. man made global climate change mongers are about power and control more than anything else. if the environment was truly at the forefront, every global warming treaty talks would not force only developed nations to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions. it would force ALL nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.|||Well they claim that global warming has affected weather patterns. It must be so as this storm is coming from Texas. When did texas export snowstorms??? Well we got one now and I have already shovelled twice today.|||I'm in Ohio too! Southwest Ohio, to be exact. Around here we've gotten about.... oh, at least 10 inches of snow here, 8 inches there with all those snowdrifts! And the blizzard warning last night was pretty weird.|||i hear ya sister. i am in the next state over to the west and we also have a small blizzard going on. it takes 34 seconds for the temperature to raise .000000001 degrees F. for the temperature to raise six degrees on the planet earth, it will take 6,633 years to happen.|||Notice that it is now referred to as climate change rather than global warming. The proponents of this theory like being in a position where they are able to make reason unrecognizable. "Warming causes cooling," for instance. They are certainly doing their best to cover all their bases. Think about what all has been blamed on the warming. I hope the people of this world will turn out to be a little smarter than I thought.|||The whole man-made global warming theory has some serious holes in it.





What I found ironic is that they year Al Gore published his book, all of a sudden there were no major hurricanes hitting the US.





Climate is always changing. The question is if we can cause it, and I think the jury is still out. A major volcanic (e.g. Yellowstone) eruption would wipe out any impact we have on climate.





The question isn't if global warming is happening, or if we're causing it. It's how to deal with change. Change always happens anyway.|||They can't, they will just state that "this is weather", not climate. You know, that whopping .4 degree temperature rise over 140 years. It also doesn't matter that the temperature charts start from the end of the Little Ice Age, you know, when it was much colder! We are still not at the mean temperature for the planet over the last 100,000 years. They talk doom and gloom, but the planet (and humanity) survived just fine in the thousands of years of warmth before the Little Ice Age (roughly 3 degrees warmer than it is today). It's amazing that so many people have fallen for this scam.|||Weather factors can overcome global warming for a short time. It happened in 1982, 1991-1992, 1999-2000. EVERY TIME global warming came back stronger than ever. Proof.

As long as we keep making greenhouse gases in enormous amounts, global warming will dominate in the long run. It's simple physics.





http://earthguide.ucsd.edu/earthguide/di鈥?/a>|||That is the effect of Global Warming, eventually from my understanding , The earth will get warmer in places that were cold like Siberia and Cold in places like the Bahamas.. wouldn't that be weird to live to see. Instead of Ohio, having snow in winter it will have warm weather(my father was born and raised in Cleveland(Maple Heights area)Ohio )





Hope I have helped you answer the question, if not sorry sweetie,





Your yahoo friend


Sheila|||You have a blizzard because it's Winter.





Climate change will increase precipitation in some places. If some of that precipitation comes during winter, you'll get more snow.





If the planet has warmed and it's 22 degrees out instead of 21, would you notice that it's warmer?





We're only seeing the very beginning of the warming. CO2 continues to have an effect on climate for 1000+ years.. The next several degrees of warming will affect water supplies, food supplies, and species survival as well as have the temperature and weather changes you might expect.





Here's NASA Director Dr. James Hansen's take on this cold winter:


"The large short-term temperature fluctuations have no bearing on the global warming matter or the impacts of global warming..."


http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailings/2鈥?/a>|||The same way I would explain that it is +15C in Calgary and the snow is gone.|||Funny isn't it? If we have a couple of warm days in the summer it proves that global warming is occurring yet for some reason record snowfalls and low temps also prove global warming is occurring.





It must be nice to have a theory so bullet proof.





Anyone else find it amusing that someone 100% off the grid has access to the internet.

The 2011 Blizzard and the Egypt crisis are on all news constantly. Why is the Australian Cyclone Yasi Ignored?

I live in Chicago and I am sick of the Blizzard coverage. I see on the major networks coverage of Egypt re-ran hour after hour. Why is the Cyclone, which is the most powerful in about 100 years ignored?|||SERIOUSLY!!! I was wondering the same thing! I have a good friend in Australia and I haven't heard from her in days, so I am very worried, but I have yet to hear anything about it in the news.





The cyclone stretched from PA to NM wide and from TX to the Canadian border high. You'd think that a storm system the size of the US would be more news worthy. I guess not. It was the most powerful storm in their history.





I'd also love to know why they're not covering about the bizarre, extreme weather we've been having in general...not just the blizzard...I only heard once on Frontline on PBS about 2010 being the warmest year ever recorded.

Can you get into Blizzard Beach for free on your birthday?

I know if it's your birthday you get into disney for free. Does that count for the water parks too? Because i really wanna go to Blizzard Beach on my birthday. Thank's in advance!|||On their website, it does not actually say that you cannot use free admission for the water parks. However, the water parks are cheaper than the parks, and the website does say that if you don't want the free admission (if you are an annual passholder, for example) the other option is to get the Birthday Fun Card, which is sort of like a gift card. And it is worth $75, the same price as free birthday admission. So since the theme parks are the ones that cost $75 and not the water parks, I interpret that to mean that you cannot do free admission at the water parks.|||Blizzard Beach? never heard of it and really Disney for Free of your Birthday Thats cool... Might not, because the economy is not in TipTop Shape. maybe google it?

If you are stranded in a blizzard and are trying to stay warm?

If you are stranded in a blizzard and are trying to stay warm, why should you melt snow and then drink it instead of just eating snow?|||Because the phase change from solid to liquid -- melting -- consumes a great deal of heat. By melting the water before drinking it, you are greatly reducing the heat loss your body will suffer.|||The snow will lower your core body temperature which will make you colder. Counterproductive.|||If you warm the snow, melt it into water, hopefully around 100 F, it will warm you inside. If you drink cold water yourcore temp will cool off further and possibly die from the cold.|||I agree with some of the others, it is a bad idea to eat snow. Les Stroud of Surviorman fame broke this rule if he knew if would be physically active - hiking, chopping wood, etc. - while he was stranded.





To answer your question about drinking during a blizzard, dehydration happens in all weather and it is very important to maintain your fluid intakes during *all* survival situations.
