    and the 20th might be a bit too optimistic. it's probably more like 13-18.....

    this is exactly why I'm gungho on geo-engineering remember how awful 2011 was, we could save so many lives if we prevented this kind of weather occurring in the first place by being able to control ENSO and other factors. Maybe in a few decades we'll have the tech to do it.

    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.

    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.
  13. LibertyBell
    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.
  15. LibertyBell
    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?
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. LibertyBell
    better because that one actually worked out for both my locations (both 30+) ;-) the GOAT!
  20. LibertyBell
    hey he's a world traveller!
  21. LibertyBell
    interior New England. The coast wont.....
  22. LibertyBell
    some people think that having a storm in the right spot magically produces snow lol
  23. 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.
  24. 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!
  25. LibertyBell
    best snowstorm ever
