  1. I mean... you're not wrong. It's useful for nowcasting in several scenarios, but I'm not sure banding nor'easters are one of them.
  2. Yikes... a bit east of us. Don't like being in middle of that.
  3. Vertical cross section on Tropical Tidbits FTW. Levi out-did himself once again on this one.
  4. Agree. Our upper range is more like 25" if NAM is correct (now that'd be insane on top of our 6-8" pre-storm depth).
  5. GYX actually bumped our forecast to 20". That will be interesting...
  6. As far as I'm concerned, this storm is gravy stuff that'll go on my biscuit southern-style. It's much easier to appreciate it even if we fall short of my 14-20" range since we already had this dance last week. 1.8" on my snow board so far. A bit below our pace due to subsidence.
  7. Been a slow event so far, relatively speaking, but it's about to pick up with that band rotating toward us.
  8. Thanks. Standard tourist stuff with old friends. It was my first visit to Manhattan so I was impressed and shocked at the size of all.
  9. Just got out of NYC and on way back to NH (just in time). Looking over models while sitting at this gas station, a “safe” forecast for SE NH would be 14-20”. However, can’t rule out 24” lollis around here and especially to south of us. Will post more in the morning because I got to finish this drive.
  10. The only reason I'm not sick of it is the novelty of northern winter. Would be sweet to hit 100" mark in my winter debut. That said, I'll probably hate it if we do this again next year.
  11. Well, this one sneaked on me in a hurry after taking a break from computer for a day. Heading down to NYC so hopefully it won't be awful Monday evening traveling back to NH.
  12. Too cloudy to go out tonight, unfortunately.
  13. Unfortunately, I'll have to agree. Numbers aren't great.
  14. Yeah, we'll have to see. Will be looking at numbers closely this evening.
  15. Went up the road from Dover and was able to get two bright green bands on my long exposure pictures. It was around for about 5 minutes before fading away.
  16. Thanks! I was using my F3.5 zoom lens, but I plan on buying F2.8 wide angle soon!
  17. What was your f/number? Just curious. Thursday night event was my first attempt at spotting northern lights and it was gorgeous to watch from Alton Bay around midnight! Wish low clouds to north weren't there or I would've gotten better pictures, but I'll take a solid green aurora band for my first attempt! Hopefully next good event will have pillars...
  18. I don't care I was dealing with consistent traffic jams the next 30 hours after it ended. I don't care I-81 tried to kill me several times. I don't care I had two hours of sleep on August 21st. I don't care my right foot and my neck are screaming in pain from all the driving. What I saw over rolling hills of Vonore, Tennessee for two minutes was one of greatest sights I've ever seen in my young life... and I took incredible pictures with my full frame camera that I'll hang on wall of my apartment. Thank you y'all for hosting me and providing with excellent information so I could enjoy it with y'all. What a day!
  19. Finally made it back to New Hampshire and what an insane couple of days! We ended up settling on a hilltop field in Vonore, TN. We had no problem with clouds in the valley, with cumulus clouds only appearing over the horizon to west and east. It was insanely awesome to see cumulus clouds dying out to west as moon's shadow approached to us as we got closer to the totality. I don't think I need to explain the rest of what the experience was like, but it was one of coolest sights I ever saw. Up there with McLean tornado earlier this year, but this eclipse has a slight edge over that due to how rare it is in United States. Traffic was horrible the whole trip back to New Hampshire, as I kept running into jams almost every single town on I-81 and I-84. It was awful... but it was still worth seeing the eclipse! So glad I drove south!
