  1. Showers and thunderstorms likely before 2am, then a slight chance of showers. Some storms could be severe, with damaging winds and gusty winds. Cloudy, then gradually becoming partly cloudy, with a low around 31. Very windy, with a west wind 70 to 80 mph increasing to 100 to 110 mph. Winds could gust as high as 140 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. Sad we don't live there.
  2. Currently charging my camera batteries so I'll be able to film my disappointment later.
  3. The deathband is weakening/contracting.... so of course now I'm getting the heaviest snow of the day.
  4. Yellow pixels.... the 2018 I'm-not-touching-you world champion. Never seen this go on for a full 40 frame wunderground loop before.
  5. A little surprised 17/-16 was enough to reach G4 again.
  6. Running out of juice... Bt has dropped all the way down to 7. Shortest event ever? Even the ultra-high speed CME's from 2003 lasted way longer. This was like a solar derecho.
  7. Nice uptick in activity on the Sebec cam, there were some faint pink rays becoming visible before the clouds arrived up there.
  8. Indeed, nice backlit clouds. Based upon radar/satellite/moon, it seems that might be all we get to see. Pretty frustrating, we finally get the arrival timing and solar wind perfect, and then everything else works against us.
  9. Activity is getting started on the Sebec Lake cam: http://sebeclake.net/camera_2.html Typical green arc is slowly brightening and climbing higher. Hopefully a nice substorm erupts.
  10. Yeah. Down here, I've got that damn storm by Albany which is spewing a nice mass of clouds this way. Not to mention it's already 95% overcast to begin with.
  11. Find clear sky. This could easily hit G4...this solar wind stream is absolutely perfect and about as juicy as it gets.
  12. That disappointing sunspot from a few days ago decided to really rub salt in the wounds. This backside CME looks straight out of 2003.
  13. The guy who has insulted the intellect of more people here than anyone else, even attacked Dave, has the balls to suggest he be responded to with more tact, haha. The only crusade was from you. You have a flimsy understanding of the Kp index and used it to suggest we weren't missing anything when the realtime data made it quite clear that we were. There is literally nothing else to discuss about this.
  14. Yeah this is going to be a dud. The current solar wind isn't even good for Santa. Bummer.
  15. You are one weird dude. I said we were missing out because the timing was off and we were missing out on what would easily reach G2 or better. Your "explanation" was evaded because the complex mechanics behind the weakness in the auroral oval on the daylight side of the earth, and premature evaluations of the Kp, were both rather irrelevant.
  16. By miss, I mean be on the wrong side of the planet. The Kp index tells you only what you've missed over the last 3 hours. It's useless as an indicator of present or future activity.
  17. lol, just saw it arrived a few hours ago. Bz is more than -20 so we're missing a great show. Odds of it staying that way for the next 14 hours are 0.01%.
