Seriously what the hell is wrong with everyone in this thread. It is November, we are tracking a pattern for a month from now, things will change, and either way it is for December.
Cross posting to banter since I doubt many people are still looking at the aurora thread (till next storm at least). That said, next storm if anyone would want to meetup at Reddish Knob, Sandy Bottom overlook (Shenandoah) or Spruce Knob Dm me when the time comes.
As a photographer enthusiast all you really need is 1. Tripod 2. 10 second shutter 3. Lowest f stop possible lens (2.8 is good) 4. 1600-3200 iso 5. preemptively use manual focus on a distant light to ensure your focus is good! Happy photographing!
Upslope is weird. From my adventures yesterday it seemed like some areas just kept getting bands while others didn’t for seemingly no elevation reason. Then it kept snowing all the way into VA without any clouds overhead on the drive back.
Was quite the adventure! First two hikes I went on were pretty tame with 1-2 inches on the ground (too far north I think) before I headed 10 miles south and got a hike with 3-4 inches on the ground. Couple intense bands punctuated the day as well. Will post some pictures when able
