Pam Carlson gives some plausible analogies bwteen the Seattle weather
and Sartar's. But to make a very off-the-cuff latitude comparison,
isn't this going to make northern Peloria Glorantha's answer to Hudson
bay?
From what I gather about the PNW, though, I picture Sartar as having
Some of Greg's factoids about Sartar, such as mentions of "winter
a rather longer "dry season", and a warmer one, too. For Fire and
Earth Season, at least, I think at least the "lowland" areas of Sartar
have a climate rather like that of southern France, merging into some
more actually Alpine areas. That it's so much worse weather in winter
we can account for by the lack of a gulf stream, a somewhat more
"continental" heating model, and the mother and father of all winter
depression tracks, courtesy of the big-O himself (or the corresponding
semi-tropical storm, as one prefers).
grapes", I think we just have to ascribe to the occassional flashback
caused by interesting chemicals from the 60's. ;-)
I suspect, incidentally, that the Kalikos cult's efforts have changed
Sartar's climate signifantly too. So Pam may just have to put up with
Theya getting snowed on and frozen, the Resettlement era types not
yet having had the chance to benefit from the effects of Lunar Weather
Control Satellite technology.
Flame locally, warm globally,
