Marginal airmass and 47 degree ocean temps.  I'll be happy with 2-3".

I already expressed great admiration here for the QST92s that I have been skiing on for the past several years for everything from boot deep powder to hardpack, east and west.  The general reviews are quite good as well.  But you might consider a slightly longer ski than the 168s if you're 5'11". That sounds too short IMO.  

Yeah, I'd probably go 176 for the QSTs.  Thinking of maybe just dumping my Declivity's and just using the QSTs for my all around ski......decisions decisions.

Looking to get a second set to add to quiver.  I am between a Elan Rip Stick 96 172cm and a Salomon QST92 168cm  I am 5'11 215 lbs.  I already have an Armada Declivity 82ti 182cm.  I am looking for a ski to make it easier for me to enjoy the glades with my sons and as my go to for our first trip out west .  Obviously I'll mostly be skiing on the NE (PA/NY/VT).

Thoughts on these two or potentially others for me?  I'd say I am an advanced skier that doesn't look to do anything crazy.  

It’s nasty here in Brigantine 

Cat 4 now

Reed Timmer and a few others are in Cedar Key still. I'd hope they get out while they can. 12-16 foot surge won't be survivable

Cantore there as well.

I’ve been trying to convince my brother in Crawfordville to evacuate. It’s leaning more and more towards directly hitting him. And he only has plywood shutters. Even as much as I love hurricanes, I would evacuate if I didn’t have proper shutters in a situation like this. 

With a strengthening major hurricane making landfall, yeah he needs to get out while he can.

I really hope no one stayed in Steinhatchee, but I am afraid some most certainly have.  
 

Now forecast to be cat 4 at landfall

130mph

oof look at that erc starting

I don’t know.  I’m not seeing it yet.  Eye still seems to be coalescing and this is still only 110mph storm.  ERc doesn’t typically happen till storms are stronger.  Time will tell I suppose 

Anyone know who is chasing and likely doing a live feed later?  Any links?

Confirmed tornado right down the road.  My son was out chasing when it dropped down at his location.  Like father like son....

I was wrong. We topped out at 61 at 10:35 PM.

Topped out at 59.9 here at 6:10

Weren't we suppose to get into the mid 60's today? Sitting at 51 currently. It's raw out there!

Warm front (if you can call it that) is to your west.  Temps in LanCo are approaching 60 now.  Warmest temps in our area will likely be late this afternoon/early evening when front moves by.

This is a great global map that truly puts the "crisis" in perspective....

I can't go down this path with you, I just cant.  If you don't realize that humans, through the release of carbon that has been trapped in the earths crust for millions of years is causing the extreme increases in the past century in global temps, then I don't know what to say.  Not sure where you got that graph, but this one is far more realistic.  Using a 10 degree spread is a bit misleading, to say the least.

I heard through my spies that Cecily as usual showed a climate warming graph that started with 1970....why not go back to 1870???

will this one work?

Accumulating here.  Nice dusting at present with more coming

Temp dropped from 33.3 to 31.6 in 30 mins

Snowing really well at present.  Reports of accumulating snow just to my NW with echos from that inbound.

just over an inch feel here in Wrightstown, PA.  

not expecting much of anything here in central Bucks.

Heading to Okemo with my sons Saturday.  Staying in Williamstown, MA tonight and planning to get there at opening.  Should be  a good. day.
