  2. It's very early. Take a run in a.m. , clear your head and be ready for the next model run Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk
  3. Cheese with that beer? Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk
  4. how about them pinecones this year, they're everywhere
  5. 52.3F. So much for getting some frost in the ground
  6. Local Mets don't seem very excited Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk
  7. we ski at sunday river and I don't know why they don't install more cams. It's ridiculous they only have one cam facing the chondola from the northpeak lodge. They used to have another at bottom of Southridge (at foggy goggle) but it's been gone for awhile. What's the thinking on limiting cams on the mtn?
  8. yea, she was harsh, but my thumb was more sore holding the throttle open on those 40 carbs
  9. maybe I didn't ask the right question. if the models were worse, were mets better at making more accurate frcsts with what they had? the other thing i'm not considering which speaks to your 2nd point is that in the "old" days (1990-2015) models didn't pick up on storms way out there (right?) and mets were working within a storm range of say 96hr, so those storms, if they panned out would make it seem the frcsts were better back then. it just seems we've spoiled ourselves with models that extend beyond 300hr, so one can get a lot of disappointment if what they're tracking doesn't work out. maybe i'm just babling, but was trying to make more sense of it to a weather weenie like me
  10. It's quite obvious to me models were better back then, but why don't they either go back to them or tweak the ones they have to make them like they were? Would they deny that the models are worse now than they used to be? What benefit is there to providing a frcst based on models that goes back and forth sometimes within <48hr?
  11. Any increase in creosote? Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk
  12. With 20' of pipe, I think you're right about losing heat up the pipe Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk
  13. 26.2F. Speaking of woodstoves, been using a jotul F55 for 10yrs and never seemed to burn as good as I thought it should. Typically the flu temp runs much hotter than stovepipe which is opposite of what should be happening. Also have troubles getting stovetop temps to 400-700 which is optimal. While it does heat the room I think it could be better. I tested the flu draft with digital manometer and it ranged 0.13-0.15 with primary air fully open or closed. Jotul proffered range is 0.050-0.1 with 0.07 being optimal. Was thinking of adding a flu damper, but not not sure if the difference in draft between optimal vs what I'm getting is significant.

  15. Always envious this time of year watching the mtns get pounded while we wait on sidelines Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk
  16. A fun FAA airport site (with cams) w/ METAR and other things. If you're bored, pretty neat to check out some of the weather as far up as the arctic. FAA WeatherCams
  17. lol, better than expected. their cam wasnt working for me earlier
  18. 0.87", gusts to 30. Not a bad little storm. Doesn't look like much sn up north Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk
