  1. I do appreciate that! I love checking in on the snow reports from various resorts through the Sierra-Nevada. Just amazing the totals they can see out there some seasons.
  2. Storms to the south of me, storms to the north, here I am stuck in the middle with you......
  3. I topped out at 62. Some stark differences today in the highs across a relatively short distance.
  4. As a dumb kid of 18, I once briefly fell asleep on the deck of a cruise ship with no sun screen at high noon right around the summer solstice and damn near of the tropic of cancer. Pretty much a worse case scenario for getting sunburn on planet Earth, and sure enough got the worst sun burn of my life. Immense pain ensued in the days that followed. All from what was maybe a 15 minute nap. Learned a big lesson that day.
  5. Well there's the record, MDT just hit 64. Another one bites the dust! 16 Dec 2:20 pm 64 34 32 S 9 10.00 CLR 29.63 29.97
  6. Thanks for answering. Yeah I could accept that perhaps there is some atmospherical difference where less UV is being blocked out or something to that effect, although I have no knowledge one way or the other of such a phenomena. However, there absolutely shouldn't be anything different about the actual sun angle as it relates to astronomical physics, as Tim noted.
  7. Can you explain what you mean by sun strength being so much more? What would have changed about the sun angle when looking at same dates, other than perhaps some miniscule shift of like a hundredth or thousandth of a degree due to natural orbital shifting? Genuinely curious.
  8. A sun-splashed 60 degrees here. I hit 43 last night, which makes two nights in a row I bottomed out lower than Bradford, not something that happens very often ha.
  9. Pumpkin-ball, as some of my wrestling friends like to call it.
  10. 7-5 to 9-3 for the next decade, let's gooooooooooo!!!
  11. Two-pump chump 'till the day I die! It's a great class. Now, about the coaching.......
  12. I believe West Virginia law says it's fair game once you're beyond third cousin or thrice removed or some sh$t like that, so let's go with that
  13. An unusual spot claimed the title of national low temp yesterday, as 24 miles southeast of Prairie City, OR checked in at -10. Can't say I've ever seen a location around there claim the belt before. Cheers to them. For those who are unaware, Snowman mails a hand-crafted championship belt to each town that claims the daily national low temp. True story. As for the high, a rather pedestrian 87 near Zapata and Pharr, Texas.
  14. I can always go for a good polar vortex. I root for maximum cold and snow in the winter. At all times. No exceptions.
  15. I bottomed out at 23 last night, another great night of radiational cooling. It looks like of all the ASOS sites, only the notorious inversion cool spots of York and Selinsgrove came in lower, at 21 and 22, respectively.
  16. You can't hang with me on those clear calm nights pal! Much like I normally can't hang with you in regards to rain totals
  17. I dropped to 26 last night, 'twas a good night for inversion cooling. Almost all of the models had a nice depiction of the SLP with regards to early next week on the 0z suite. Let's hope for more of that as the week progresses. In the meantime, enjoy these pleasant days. Toodles.
  18. Peak ridging looks to occur Thursday, perhaps lingering a bit into Friday. For what it's worth, the daily records for MDT on those days are of the softer variety and wouldn't seem to be anything out of reach, at 63 and 59, respectively. Early next week certainly has my attention for some potential front end action. Curious to see if the Euro comes back around this afternoon. Still a looooooong way to go.
  19. I got .09" of rain on Saturday and bottomed out at 24 last night. Should be a nice mild pleasant week ahead as we look for some changes in the pattern heading through Christmas week. Cheers to all.
