    Ya I thought last year was a real dud too.....my favorite since we moved here in 2004 was 2010-11.....that on started with such a buzzkill with the Boxing Day disaster but then took off and for 30-40 glorious days it was so epic....great accumulations on a very frequent basis with record pack....achieved 34” pack which hasn’t been surpassed yet....the driveway walls were so epic....

    Its not strictly about the total amount......its how you get there....so far there have been storms in December but they have all sucked except one I guess and even that one was pedestrian.....the snow has sucked too.....lots of pingers and shit snow and ZR - no real snow......this season has sucked epically so far.....I'll hold on for another couple weeks but thats it....get ready

    Welp today was the great 2019 summer - wait winter total solar eclipse - down in South America....images looked great....very much reminded me of 2017....loved chasing that in Missouri....a great life memory...next total solar eclipse is again in South America 12-14-20.....countdown to the great North American eclipse in 2024 is on
  14. ice1972
    Oh wait.....Nevermind....it’s July 2 not June 2....lol
  15. ice1972
    We have some local events coming though.....a few over like 20 years....I’ll have to look up
  16. ice1972
    Bro....was just looking up next total and it’s on Sunday man.....remember we were all discussing this so much when we were all chasing 2017....god that was so fun chasing to Columbia MO.....what a great experience......wish we were there in Chile in 36 hours.....

    Like 3" here in West Hartford.....whoever started this thread forgot to add Meh to the title.....what a joke....
  18. ice1972
    It's high stakes cuz they don't happen very often even if you are willing to go to where the next one happens.....like I almost gave in and just stuck with my original target in NE.....but I just couldn't after all the planning and work....I knew it would be a marathon....and it was worth every bit.....
  19. ice1972
    Nice....damn guys now I want to really do it......cruise would be great
  20. ice1972
    No question....would be awful....but going to Chile and it being overcast would suck too....seems it could be difficult to divert down there.....also not sure about infrastructure necessary to even monitor that type of thing....I mean in Nebraska and Missouri I could look at visible sat and radar in seconds....and decide very quickly where to go....
  21. ice1972
    I mean if you compared the cost to get to Chile and accommodations and transport - maybe pay to be in a tour group - and then add two weeks and turn it into a vacation.....it's probably a wash....give or take

    https://www.travelquesttours.com/tours/2019-south-pacific-cruise-to-totality/pricing-terms/ $7,900 per person for steerage $20,000 per person for bull market suite
  23. ice1972
    For $10,000 you can book on a 2 week cruise and see the eclipse in the Pacific.....with stops at Pitcairn Island, Bora Bora, and other south pacific islands.....seriously want to do this
  24. ice1972
    To get the 6+ minutes for that eclipse you need to be in Tallahassee......when it makes landfall in Eureka, CA totality is only 4min 24sec.....lol....I would kill for even that..... I guess the length of totality is related to how close to the earth the moon is when it crosses in front of the sun.....
  25. ice1972
    I think the magnitude and awesomeness of being in totality has great potential to change peoples minds......moreso than a lot of other awesome things.....its why I don't get it when people are dismissive about it or borderline insulting about the effort you put in to get in totality......I'm saying just try it once......
