All Activity

Yeah, I had two decent looking areas head my way today, only for them to dissipate and turn south at the last minute. I MAY have 0.01 in the gauge lol.

Couldn't manage more than 3 drops of drizzle today.

A great response and I agree totally. I've never 'chased' by myself, only with my son on a few occasions. The part about driving AND keeping up with radar/warnings/sky conditions keeps me from trying solo myself. BTW awesome last pic!

You got the new ones?

Old numbers there

Those folks who didn't install are going to regret it. They just wouldn't listen. We tried to tell 'em. Imagine trying to sleep with temperatures in the forties.

Whopping 0.01" of rain today. 1.2" for the month, most of which came down on the 3rd. Hopefully we'll get something on Sunday to get the garden going and wash away the pollen. Meanwhile, in Dubai.....

As a student I've noticed that often times AI writing isn't even that great, its more or less boilerplate slop (is good for summarizations and titles though). There is one kid in my Ap Lang class who uses AI on every assignment and gets straight Bs, overall I just don't see its use besides for the laziest students who can't be bothered to think up anything better.

I’m in Lake Placid and I came into town past Whiteface. I know it’s the Olympic Mountain so I assume the terrain has to be decently challenging. I don’t much else about it though. Why isn’t it a “bigger” deal? Is it location or are there other reasons that bring it down a bit? Or am I just crazy and it is a big deal for skiers?

Low 60s is mighty nice...

Down to 47 here and heat is on. House got down to 64 before I pulled the trigger. Going to be a heat only weekend it seems.

Saw my first rainbow of 2024 tonight. Ironically, I was cursing the rain shower, because I was doing yardwork and then looked up and saw the colors.

I'm loving it Nice and refreshing

Yeah classic wedge with marine airmass ; even VA Beach stuck in low 50s. YUCK! We were on the good side yesterday with 70s and sun while not far away in Philly it was overcast with upper 40s and low 50s. The boundary got us today

Haha far from a pro but I’ve done it a few times! I’ve never done solo but it may be possible. I think if I were to do solo I’d only have a predetermined zone I’d be willing to drive in—say staying in the front range of Colorado through central Kansas and bouncing around the zone depending on the severe wx outlook. During my trips I had at least one other person willing to drive, and we literally traveled thousands of miles each trip over the course of 7-10 days. One time we went from San Antonio to Corpus Christi to Amarillo in one day. That’s a lot to ask of one person. Expect to spend between $100-150 each night for a decent hotel. Gas isn’t terrible if you have an efficient car. Rental car with insurance (and always get the full insurance in case of getting totaled by hail lol) isn’t awful as well but check around to get the cheapest price. Don’t forget to factor in food. Each of my trips cost at least $1k. Being in multiple cities alone is worth the cost IMO. That’s all doable. The biggest challenge with a solo trip imo is the logistics when you’re actually in chase mode. Driving and tracking a supercell that could split, spawn a tornado, or throw out big hail far from the “center” sounds dicey. If you did do it, I’d recommend keeping even greater distance and ALWAYS being prepared to move to a safer location. If you question in the slightest whether you’re safe, move immediately. Other than that, hell of a thrill and amazing to travel the country. I’d try chasing again this year, but I think the tropics will have me busy this summer/fall.

Thanks, I deleted all of them, but there is still a file size limit of 1.95 MB so I just uploaded one of the smaller ones. The file size limit of 1.95 MB is per file and also per post.

Top right of window, click your username and my attachments. Then you can select which to delete.

There's a lot of sunspot activity on the sun right now. I'm not good with post processing so I don't know how easy it will be to see them here, but there are three in the upper right, one in the middle, two in the lower right and one in the upper left. I used a two filter stack for this image, one to block 99.9999% of sunlight and the other to block IR and UV. It won't let me upload more than one image and not even the one with the sun the largest size (since those are all over 4 MB in size.)

One of those rare days where it was warmer in the mountains. Other than a brief shower this morning it was a good day in deep creek. Sun came out for a bit. 67 when i left this afternoon and I watched the car thermometer DROP driving home. Im assuming some sort of easterly winds bringing in cool ocean air?

Hey quick question, how do I delete all my attachments lol. I wanted to post some pictures I took of the sun (there's a lot of sunspots visible right now), but I can't post any because I have a limit of 1.95 MB and the file I want to post is between 4-5 MB.

I went to a hockey game at the old Garden and saw a rat so big in the parking lot I thought it was a dog.

He got the T. It screwed me for 2 months last summer. Don't underestimate the T bug Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Really

I thought so haha. I'll write an autobiography one day lol. I was into snow, limitless energy and magnets before the internet and before we even had cable TV.

This might be your best post. Also explains alot LOL
