It was 23 when I got to the office at 5:30 am, down to 15 now. Wind has been howling blowing all the God damned oak leaves everywhere

Elephant ass again? That looks pretty impressive

Oh there's a FAR better version of that song available... just not sure I can post it here! Adult version lol

I was. The first gen REV chassis sleds were the best. I really miss my 2003 X

It hasn't been typical for it to double down on anything in that range this season, but it's still a long way out. At least there's something else to watch besides ball shrinking cold...

Camp dillf??

Sweet. I have GOT to get back into snowmobiling!!

That REV in the foreground looks exactly like my buddies sled. Nice

Well no, but I guess I understand your point. This comes from a licensed electrician who see these issues fairly regularly. And you're absolutely right, a couple of my guys have solar and love it, but did lots of homework first. "Just do your HW" is the problem... like I said attention span of two year olds. They are the people that have the issues. Their fault sure, but when many of the companies sales pitches are more akin to a scam it can be hard for some to tell.

That's why I wanted a copy of our home mortgage agreement before closing so I could review it. Broker thought I was weird, but it isn't his dime.

This is true, but it isn't easy for the average person to vet a company or product when the majority of the American public has the attention span of a two year old. There's way more bad then good right now, and lots of unlicenced people somehow getting away with doing installs

It would take a lifetime to just scratch the surface! They REALLY don't want you to know, but there's too many issues to hide

13 degrees. One of the colder mornings in a while.

True to a point, but the cold actually bothered me more when I was younger...its probably the extra R value in the body I'd love to look at records for temps. We remember several days well above 60

Whats interesting is this feels no where near as warm as 88/89. Must be averages vs super warm days. We had many days that month working on new house rough ins wearing t shirts. I haven't felt that this month

Wait.. wasn't it all falling apart?

That was it! We used to go with a group of 30 guys, the guy who arranged the trip owns Dalene Flooring in CT. We were prepared for the cold so it didn't bother us however a couple sleds needed help to start on morning. A little use of the leatherman allowed us to "Borrow" the hair dryer in one of the bathrooms at a motel to warm their engines Cleaning staff shared their extension cord lol. I wish I could remember where, one night we stayed at this huge log cabin like hotel up in the middle of nowhere. I think it may have been in the Jonquiere area?

Light snow in Westfield starting to coat the non- paved surfaces. 29°

-44F Getting in late on a snowmobile trip up north of Quebec back around 2006 or so. I think we were northwest of Lake St.Jean. Three of us hung back to help someone with sled trouble and didn't get to the hotel til 8:30 at night. As soon as I took off my helmet and balaclava, my nose instantly froze shut! Crazy experience

Didn't mean to suggest CC is what is the problem here, or with models. I lived through enough 80s winters to realize this will happen at times

Thanks Will. I was also wondering if there's any sort of assumed temps used in the calculations vs. real time data ingestion. Kind of like the old line we used to hear from some when storms were on the horizon "when is the actual sampling happening" LOL

It looks so close but so far on the 6th also

Thanks. So... since I am still far from familiar with how the models adjust, calculate etc. my question is how much climo is really built into what they spit out (or up). I mean, I've seen it discussed before but never really thought about how a model could be assuming certain temps vs. just straight up data ingestion. I guess what I'm trying to ask is if these models have any sort of adaptive learning in order to deal with any sort of climate change or would wholesale reprogramming be required? Not even sure I'm wording this question correctly, a mind is a terrible thing.

It is remarkable. So is... at least for the most part, the lack of even fantasy storms on the GFS. I mean yeah, it has had some here and there, but they'd be gone the following run.

I was about to turn 8 and still remember it well. We already had quite a pack and a week off from school was awesome.
