the idea is that any immortal, on earth, warps reality around them to match. Odin gets thunderstorms. Shaaggy cause corruption.
Mab.. makes things colder.
the six months she spent sitting on that island made it snow .. 4 feet deep.. the other side of the county.
that's a LOT of cold to be putting out.
narphoenix:
Well, I guess she's just that...wait for it... cool. 8)
Although, that's over a period of months. Certainly, the energy is impressive. But the power... Wait. 6.4 MILLION kW?!

we estimated the energy of the total time period to be quite a bit higher :)
it's not just enough to chill the air, you have to keep it chilled against incoming sunlight, and against loss due to convection and conduction.. the variance is caused by:
how much the average temp per month can vary (say was it a cold summer to begin with?)
how big the are was.. we can estimate the cylinder (with the isle at the center) covering Chicago, but where is murphys house in the suburbs?

I used your estimate for the calculation. Granted, I used the low end...and rounded down...point still stands.
TheCuriousFan:
This topic makes me wonder how much time Jim spends thinking about the physics of things and how much energy various spells would take or how much strength would be needed to lift something.
