CAPE

That area gets more snow than Canaan apparently. I'm going to charter a boat and drop anchor out there. Best chase ever.

RAR is good stuff! Nanticoke Nectar, Bucktown Brown, made with Rise-up Up coffee, 10 layers Stout, and my fav "pumpkin" ale ever, Big Lizz (made with locally grown butternut squash).

Maximized that event here. That has not happened often in recent winters imby lol. Only squall event that beats that one is when I lived in Carroll county back in the 80s as a kid. An all out white out with thunder that ended up with 3-4" in like 45 mins.

For like 5 minutes

Perfectly situated for miller As when we have a sustained -AO/-NAO and a weak/moderate Nino though, which happens once every 15 years.

Don't give up lol

Very cool event. Ended up with 3" here in less than an hour. Kicked off a great late run winter period. If only we could repeat that. Sigh.. 10977720_848937028500358_723062107_n.mp4

I do love the juicy NE IPAs too. Fell in love with those when I took a trip up there last summer. Drank plenty of Long Trail Hazy DIPA. Good stuff.

A Hudson Bay ridge could work tho!. At least we might be able to live vicariously through the northern Carroll county folks.

I get it for 9 a bottle. 12 is a bit insane. Either way, even a cheap SOB like you can afford to try it once.

But the h5 look is... "good". Have faith man.

Yes you can. We (I) also like imperial stouts. I know you are fond of those. Did you ever try a DFH WWS? Another big, high gravity, sipper. 18%.

It is a legit sipper. Insane amount of barley. Big and malty- bit of a sweet malt backbone with notes of of caramel/ toffee. Complex. Defo not your typical IPA. Not for everyone, but it is for me lol.

I love DIPAs. You have to try a DFH 120 min. 9 bucks for a single. Seriously. It's a completely different experience.

Since I made that initial post, I have sipped this down to a quarter glass. I would not drive right now lol. (probably)

Most "doubles" are in the 8-10% range

Probably quad lol. 18%. eta- DFH 120 min IPA. The "holy grail" of IPAs

Ha yes it will. I can drink a whole bottle of red wine myself no problem, but if I drink 2 of the 120s I am dead.

I think it's 120 time. I need me one of those 'special' buzzes, the kind you can only get from a super high gravity, high food value ale. Cheers!

Not really what I would consider a true(or completely useful) -EPO. That stubborn trough is still there. Even so, there would be "some" decent cold air available. The ridge in western/central Canada along with the TPV location to the east would mix in some Polar air, even if the somewhat weakened(hopefully) AK trough is still pumping in some Pac air. Also, given its modeled location, that air would be colder than if it was further south and stronger. One thing I will continue to say- all these advertised looks in the LR, although different and potentially somewhat better, are very fragile. Could still be a mirage and/or easily revert to the same old shit pattern, until proven otherwise.

Forecast low of 12 here tonight. Now that's anomalous in this mild, snow-less winter. Alas it will be back in the 50s by Monday.

I think that one is fading fast, but not completely dead. Probably the very end of the month is the next window, although the 0z EPS, which finally rolled out on WB, implies a cutter on the 27th. That would be a shocker.

Extend that through May and its a no brainer.

The workweek rain total here is 1.7" Going to be a few days now before the next cutter. Withdrawal may set in.

I am just calling it as I see it. As of now, the possible "different" pattern the guidance has been hinting at is looking a little more questionable. I shall remain interested until I'm not lol. For now, we just cant know. Time will tell.
