    Looks like the best time to look is 45 min after sunset in the western sky and the thin crescent moon will be joining them: https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/great-jupiter-saturn-conjunction-dec-21-2020 https://earthsky.org/tonight/young-moon-to-swing-by-jupiter-saturn

    Right, fortunately this is the earliest sunset can get around here, I was told to look right after sunset, since they're both very bright it should be easy to see them right after.

    why is it that everyone yaps about la ninas being so cool on a global level and we always get screwed over by them unless they are weak and come after an el nino the previous winter?

    and the NAM which everyone was laughing at when it first showed a monster solution.

    if we had been alive in March 1888 we would've been dancing in the streets lol

    But all I ask is that there be clear skies for this super conjunction coming up between Jupiter and Saturn. I'm not clear on the exact date they'll be closest...I think it's December 21? Nikon made a new superzoom camera that actually seems to be good at taking deep space pics as well as planetary images. I found a review site about it: The Moon and Mars: https://jzholloway.wordpress.com/2020/09/06/moon-mars-conjunction/ Pleaides star cluster https://jzholloway.wordpress.com/2020/09/24/the-pleiades-star-cluster-m45/ Lyra starfield https://jzholloway.wordpress.com/2020/07/26/vega-lyra-7-18-2020/ The 50mm 10 sec shot at ISO 6400 is really good (even if the noise is a little high)- check it out! added: images of M42 Orion Nebula taken with the P950 (note these were not stacked) https://jzholloway.wordpress.com/2020/11/09/m42-the-orion-nebula/ at the bottom of that post.

    I dont blame you one bit. I would be jumping into my car to experience that up there.

    Ant, you have a face that's definitely meant for ZOOM.

    The storm that January 2016 most reminded me of was the first snowstorm I ever experienced on Long Island...a storm that is commonly referred to as February 1983! That one was also supposed to stay to our south and also occurred in a very strong el nino.

    Yeah I was in the same location for Jan 1996, Feb 2003 and Jan 2016 and Jan 2016 beat out the other two. I always thought Jan 1996 was undermeasured, but it wasn't 30" More like 28 inches. Feb 2016 was 26 inches. Jan 2016 was 32 inches and we had still had 30 inches left on the ground 6 hours after the snow ended. The bonus was the band of snow at the end that just kept going and going and made the storm last over 30 hours.

    question Chris pretty basic....why dont those warm and cold pools mix and even out the temperatures across the Pacific?
  13. LibertyBell
    Don any idea if this will be a cold and dry or cold and stormy pattern? If it doesn't snow the cold will be worthless.
  14. LibertyBell
    I got 30" in both my locations with that storm lol....you really missed out. I remember when you were on here that day too.
  15. LibertyBell
    better because that one actually worked out for both my locations (both 30+) ;-) the GOAT!
  16. LibertyBell
    hey he's a world traveller!
  17. LibertyBell
    interior New England. The coast wont.....
  18. LibertyBell
    some people think that having a storm in the right spot magically produces snow lol
  19. LibertyBell
    I dont care if the rest of winter is in the 90s if we can get ONE snowstorm like that every winter I'm happy.
  20. LibertyBell
    funny thing is my inland location near Allentown also got 30" and my coastal location near JFK also got 30" lmao I wish every snowstorm was like this....this was the Michael Jordan GOAT of snowstorms!
  21. LibertyBell
    best snowstorm ever
  22. LibertyBell
    No in my post I said we dont have a mud season like New England does, and it makes their springs worthless. I'd rather be outside doing planting rather than being inside watching it rain. Our climate is better than New England's.
  23. LibertyBell
    ehhh the two worst busts of all time! But I feel like the Jan 2008 Heavy Snow Warning bust doesn't get mentioned enough either. I think that was the last HWS we had?
  24. LibertyBell
    He's jealous of NNE- that made me laugh. It's like saying someone in Florida is jealous of NYC because of how much snow NYC gets. C'mon now LOL Of course Florida isn't jealous of NYC for weather reasons anyway. I guess he doesn't like how much better our springs and summers are and we dont get a "mud season" like New England gets.
  25. LibertyBell
    This looks like it will be good for interior SNE but not for coastal areas even up there.
