Forum downtime and issues today
The bad weather currently in North-Eastern US?
https://weather.com/storms/winter/video ... -northeast
I heard on the radio just now that it's so bad that flights out of NYC had
been cancelled. Aren't there major international servers in the New York
to Boston area?

I know that in this area, freezing rain is very bad for outside connectors
And there's nothing you can do during the storm. Warmer weather
evaporates the condensation and restores the normal size of the cable
-- and the usual speed.
My 2¢. BFN.

Source:As the weather gets colder, there is often more condensation. If
there are junction boxes that are not weatherproofed or cables that are
damaged, then yes, the weather cooling off can have an effect on your
connection. Getting your ISP to do anything about it might be very
difficult as it will be an intermittent issue, and usually when its coldest or
wettest, the tech will not be there to test it.

Interesting musher0. I wonder if http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/ is in that area because it's being super slow today too.
Maybe the storm is what knocked out http://git.code.sf.net/p/aufs/aufs-util completely today too.

Freezing rain weather typically hovers between 1 C and -1 C. At 1 C, it's
rain, and at -1, it's beginning to be ice. Very bad for driving, but also for
outside connectors.
At 1 C, water enters a non isolated connector, and the water expands into
ice as the weather goes down, creates pressure from inside the connector.
The weather then goes back over 0 C for a little while, the pressure is
released, and another droplet of water enters the connector. And so on,
and so forth until the weather decides to stay above or under O C.
That's a fantastic way Mother Nature has found to loosen up anything!
NYC had a very bad snow blizzard this morning. See edited link above.
Not too close from NYC, I guess, but still good as an example:

UP TO 70 PERCENT OF GLOBAL INTERNET TRAFFIC GOES THROUGH

One of those big international servers gets hammered by extreme
weather and the World Wide Web becomes the World Wide Wait.
