  1. 219 just southwest of Thomas looking good.
  2. Rain. Even for those living in the highlands of Carroll co.
  3. Do we report rain obs in this wave thread or the other one? So many waves.
  4. Just when my mud started to dry, all the waves of rain will moisten it up.
  5. Just biked 15 miles in the sunshine. Felt nice out but clouding up now.
  6. Sadly rates won’t matter if this is what we’re working with.
  7. It’s going to be like 100 degrees tomorrow. Go outside and ignore the models.
  8. Only the 2nd time in SB history that a team gave up a double digit halftime lead and lost. Surprising for a team that was clearly more talented at all but 1 position.
  9. LR thread is basically a broken record day after day. A repeat of the same stuff w a slight deviation in the wording.
  10. Nice morning for a bike ride. Daffodils nearing bloom and some crocuses already in bloom.
  11. 24 miles on the bike today. Work can wait on days like this.
  12. Literally my reaction reading about pineapple on pizza.
  13. Chaos. A beautiful heavy wet snow resulting in gridlock on the roads. Here’s a good recap. https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/storm_summaries/event_reviews/2011/Mid-Atlantic_Northeast_WinterStorm_Jan2011.pdf
  14. This board….smh….29 references a day from the same person about shitty thermal profiles and rr recapping his porn dreams first thing in the morning. What a time to be on this board.
  15. After biking yesterday when it was 29 and again today, I’m ready to throw in the towel on winter, locally.
  16. Here’s the Friday forecast for Mt washington.
  17. You’d be better off ignoring posters that are condescending to everyone that doesn’t step in line with their thoughts….and insists on trying to be the dominant presence on the board.
  18. This snippet from this mornings MWN discussion is impressive. As far as wind chill values, if we go with a milder and less gusty setup of 33F below and winds of 95 mph, summits will have values around 87F below. If we go with a colder, windy setup of 40F below and 110 mph, summits will have values around 101F below. Either way, this means frostbite could start to develop on exposed skin in as little as 5 minutes or, at the extreme end, less than 1 minute. With this in mind, make sure to have someone check for any exposed skin or use a mirror or selfie cam to look for any gaps or holes in clothing, especially around where gear meets like goggles around balaclavas or jackets with pants or gloves with coats. It is far easier to maintain heat than it is to regenerate it. Bear in mind that the cold ambient air temperatures will affect anything with batteries shortening their available power or possibly not powering items on at all. Fuels, like those with camp stoves, may struggle or not operate as their pressurization alters or the fuel gels or freezes. Motorized vehicles you left at trailheads could see their batteries affected and their fuels and fluids could also gel or freeze.
