Updated 8pm cone finally available -

 

I wonder what the difference in billions of dollars is between the far left of the cone and the far right.

No.  He posted information that I believe to be incorrect and I posted the reasoning/data why I disagree.  Your post is the one that shouldn't have happened.  You seem drunk making multiple mistakes in just 9 words.

Nice sunset from the parking garage at Logan last night.

lolz. Talk to the NHC and see why they don't even bother running verification scores on it. 

If this thing hits FL it's going to be a major black eye for forecasters.  Accuracy has not been great from any outlet on this thus far.  I think it's concerning how insistent forecasters are about this turn in an environment that appears to have very week steering.  I believe that is the best forecast, but I'm not sure how much confidence to place in it.

Damn, that is a hell of a storm.  Goodbye Abaco.

Part of me is annoyed how much we worry about maximum wind speeds and the other part feels ripped off that this isn't a 5.

7 members browsing the main thread.  That's a pretty good indicator to put a fork in it.

I have a hard time winding down after getting into tracking. 

I wonder if we finally have a decent forecast of forward speed.  Seems like it has been much slower than expected for awhile now.  NHC better be confident in the curve track, it's going to be ugly if SE FL has to get back in the cone.

Pulling for a cat 5 to hit a major metro. 

Don't sell it short.  Have it loop back out to sea and hit it again as a cat 6 a few days later.

I think your climate change post was the highlight of the day so far.

This scan was from a few mins ago

@dendrite that Tornado warning has got to be near your parent's place iirc

This must really suck for people spending their Saturday night camping out over quite a large area.

Couple of strikes close enough to hear but still dry.  Almost completely still out there.

They bought 17 ski areas today, but Wildcat is really the only one that I'm stoked about.  Can't wait to be able to use my pass there for those nor'easters that slip too far east and bury NH/ME and smoke cirrus in VT.

The other thing is in a bad winter, they have now secured some of the best snowmaking mountains in Vermont.  Killington is king for snowmaking, but Epic Pass offerings include Mt Snow, Okemo and Stowe.  All are known in Vermont for having relatively good conditions in those shit winters because of grooming/snowmaking infrastructure.  Good insurance to have access to those 3 ski areas in a down winter.

Sunapee has a good rep for snowmaking and grooming in NH too.  For people who want predictable corduroy surfaces on cruising trails it is good.

That's pretty exciting in terms of season's passes.  I've got local day/night covered (Crotched/Sunapee).  Weekender type places in Mt. Snow, Attitash/Wildcat, and Stowe, and then Vacation worthy places out west.  Last time I was in S. Lake Tahoe I only went to Heavenly a couple days because the day ticket rate is so high and it was hard to find any vouchers (and the snow conditions sucked).

Interesting piece.

They are arguing that the loss of the Woolly Mammoth and other large animals in that area caused forest growth which traps heat and helps melt permafrost.

Everything is delayed because of how wet it’s been, I think it’s a NNE thing between them and the black flies, Brian had them over in NH, The Mosquitos are next up and they will be bad this year with all the standing water for them to breed.

Ticks are the worst here.  Just had one on my leg while getting the charcoal grill going, enjoyed tossing him in the fire.

I apologize for bringing up that memory

No need to apologize.  It's not at all traumatic for me to recall that.

Are there thousands of deaths from CO poisoning there?

I rented a hunting cabin for the winter in VT back in the 90's and one night all alone I passed out and fell on the floor, when I came to I was able to drag myself out the front door.  Once I hit the fresh air I was feeling fine pretty fast.  I'm pretty sure it was CO poisoning from a wood stove fire that wasn't venting well.  Probably as close to death as I've ever been.  Hadn't thought about that in a long time, but this chat obviously triggered that memory.

Got an ultra-heavy rain burst there right after my last post.  Winds and lightning did not happen tho.
