Wolf got a new snowmobile. I built a shed at my winter camp....all bad omens. If everyone pulled the plugs on their snowblowers and poured bleach in the cylinders it will snow like a bastard for weeks. Everyone has to do it though. And that goes for wolfs snowmobile. :-).

I was going to buy a new sled this year. I ride in the Adirondacks. Snow has not been abundant for years and our sleds are in constant need of hyrax and sliders, overheating issues and have even worn some skis to nothing. Low snow now for a long time with late starts to each season...like 7 or 8 years.! I got skunked 3 times. So I’ll keep the old 1200 and see what happens...it’s my rock sled. I have a camp and that is a questionable investment now. New normal.

Yeah set ups like that that are like the good old days of the Snowy Epoch before this mean reversion started kicking our gonads. We take, but you’ll excuse me for wearing an MMA-rated cup.

There is time to mend the sloppy phase. Tips been talking about this time frame. He also talked himself out of it earlier but there is time to mend that too. As soon as I saw the northern stream vort, I said “hello...what have we here? A welcome guest unlooked for.”

I’d say so.

Yep. Weenies had better tuck it in when looking at the longer range this winter. Lorena Bobbitt is lurking.

I think the pattern will improve somewhat...but the idea of a great pattern with blocking and a good pac all coming together seems to be getting pushed back as we have seen before. I don’t buy anything but serviceable.

I store stuff with true gas but you can get non ethanol gas from the pump way cheaper, if you look around for it. Snowblowers siting with ethanol will gum up carburetors big time - they tend to sit a long time between uses. I turn off the fuel petcock off to shut the motor off and let the carb run out of fuel every time I put it away. Saves a lot of agro. Startron does seem to suck. I use stabil or some 2 cycle oil - which is basically what I think stabil is. Everything with a carburetor should use non ethanol. Usually it’s 91 octane when you find it.

Let us pray.

We can at least keep an eye for some support on the GFS hr. 240 coastal this weekend. Wonder if the cutter next week helps set the stage for a coastal?

Beverage of choice for the CMC last few days...

Thanks bro

On TT it goes out past 72

Hey guys friend of mine said he saw the RGEM snowmap on a website called Pornhub. Ever hear of It? I don’t think it’s a weather site.

It’s weird when you get busted right there. No telling which way it goes after that.

Yeah chucking it across the room into the mirror gets a lot of unwanted attention.

Isn’t this considered a REX block? The 50/50 sitting under a HP?

The Kleenex shortage is going to get a lot more severe in the next couple of days. You guys better grab what you can before the 00z suite.

Euro time

IIRC 2010 was a strong La Niña and fairly hostile pacific generally , but there was a raging NAO which delivered the goods for the DC area several times...I think there was 40 inches OTG in the burbs of Maryland. We got a storm or 2 out of it, but we missed the big ones to our south. The strength of the NAO hurt us.

I think it got ~10 below at my house (HPN) in early January of that winter as well.

Can’t be too much worse.

Early storm in December made my sons birthday a mess. It think it was the 5th and we got 7 inches here . Have the kids didn’t go. But the ones who did had the place to themselves.

Save that one storm, I think it was a bad winter. We got our annual climo snow fall in that ONE storm. It was amazing.

Still reading but this is a great write up.
