It was all below the Big Dipper angle.  Only 2 or 3 times  living here full time since 2001 have I seen AB near overhead.  I know you have Tilton's lights to your north too...

I haven't seen the real deal since the 03 event. Tilton is more NE of me than due north. I don't expect to see anything, but I'll glimpse out every so often. Thanks for the heads up.

Similar trees to the north here...about 30deg. The tree line is along the bottom of the big dipper right now. I have some slight life to the north (rt 3...hannaford, cvs, etc) so maybe the bit of light is flooding it out. If i can't see it with the bare eyeit's a non event for me. I'll keep peeking a bit longer.

Peeking out now. How far on the horizon? I see nada yet.

For us, it means no polar routes for planes unless yo want all comm to be non-existent.

I'm sure it all calms down around 6pm

Getting bombarded again as we speak.

Bz south again.

Cleared out here. See nada with my bare eyes.

Find clear sky. This could easily hit G4...this solar wind stream is absolutely perfect and about as juicy as it gets.

Text alert to Lisa plz...thx

The same as it will likely be for the 2024 eclipse 

The 58,440hr CFS looks clear right now, but stay tuned.

I got an alert that it went to 6 as I was driving back from the eclipse in SC. Of course I was in NC (still am until Sunday) at the time. It would have been cool to see aurora and totality in the same day but that is asking too much. You were absolutely dead on with the difference totality makes vs. 99%. I am still on a high from the experience. I only wish the duration of totality was a little longer but still that was incredible. I was sure to focus on experiencing the event over taking photos and I am happy I did and still of course came away with a few grabs. The shadow approaching like a wall from the west, the diamond ring, totality/corona, and the end of totality with it looking like someone was raising the lights in a room are moments I won't ever forget. I want to chase one in South America in 2019!

 

 

Jon Gruden?

MW wasn't fogged in and they never reported AURBO.

Heh...looks like the IR light never kicked on for my sky camera which explains why it was seeing light on the horizon versus the usual foreground.

Nothing really going on, but there's a really strong red glow through the overcast to my north. MWN is socked in too so no AURBO chance there. Maybe it's just some strong red light scattered through the low overcast, but I don't recall ever seeing the northern horizon lit up like this on my cam before.

Consider me signed up for text alerts Scott.

And there it goes.  LOLZ.  Yeah there's really a problem with this place if it can't stand competition.

 

I deleted this comment before, but really, I don't care what happens here.  I don't spend any time here.  I go to Tom's forum.  Since I'm in the mid-atlantic now, I go there too, but my time spent in this sub-forum is near zero.  Given that situation and the lack of posting in general, it would make sense to merge the forums and just have a Philly area thread for obs/disco/banter.  They do that for other regions in NYC and in Mid-Atlantic already.

Competition is fine. Heck, it's easy enough for anyone to create their own forum now. The way the Philly fracture went down a couple of years ago will always leave me a little bitter though. There was really no need for it unless the goal was to have complete power. They had free reign to moderate this subforum how they wanted.

I thought it didn't snow in 01-02?

01 Raiders game pissed me off, Tuck rule game but man what a great snow game, old school

None of that heater under the field nonsense.

I always get chills watching the snow balls flying.

I'm a weenie for cold so I think my fave may be the Ten playoff game. That was old school, ice bowl worthy cold.

Had about 20 or so of mash here at my location now. We were pounding 34F barely accumulating snow in Marshfield that evening while it was rain down by the beach at my ex girls place. It brought down a lot of trees when it started to drop close to 32 that evening, and then a powder blizz late night when winds went NNW.  Great storm, and the game at Gillette following was awesome.

So many good home games that Dec/Jan.

I was in MHT for that. I had a major subsidence meltdown on WWBB.

Phil would know. I also think I remember him saying the PNS was low.

Quite possible...it's tough to measure out there with wind too. There was only a couple handful of reports in the PNS and the final obs were up to 24hrs apart.

Ummm, I got 17" in Harwich, MA, that map has me in the trace to 4" range, that is wrong for the February 8-9th 2013 blizzard.

Pics? The PNS doesn't have anything close to 17" out by you.

If I can't see it with the bare eye then it didn't happen.

It 745pm.  Just went to a hilltop to look north.  Nothing that I could see.  About half the sky was cloudy above and to about 45 degrees to the north and I could see stars but no  AB.

No ISS either.
