Asteroid Collision with Earth
Artiste:
You wish so Jeff, for more snow?
At my mother, my brother comes to push the snow when there is 2 inches or more, in her yard... after it snows usually a lot and often!!
But it was the first time, Christmas had no snow in 2007!!
And twice aleady this 2008 January all the snow had melted; that he had never seen before since he lived there from 1948, where snow banks became at least 3 to 5 feet or more all January's EVERY YEAR till NOW!!
So, it seems snow and ice is melting, odd times and more and more now?? !!
What is your situation?? Maybe you had an asteroid fall near you to melt snow and/or ice?? Where are you?
Hugs!!

This is important because smaller asteroids are three times more likely to impact Earth than the larger variety of Dinosaur killers. The famous Tunguska impact in Siberia a century ago is now thought to be from a much smaller asteroid than was originally thought.

Yep, just a matter of time. Hopefully we'll develop the technology to deal with them, but right now, we need about a 10-15 year head start, but with little funding going toward the NASA project to look for NEOs (near earth objects), chances are fairly good we're going to get our bell rung but good within in the next century, give or take.

Heh, from what I've read and heard, unlike in the movies, the meteor or comet will be traveling so fast, that once it hits our atmosphere, it will impact the ground in about 2-3 seconds. Most of us won't even know what hit us.
