  1. Good luck with temps like this posted on BTV's page this morning!
  2. When you click on the stations it is working though. Currently -3° at MPV
  3. Worst winter ever. This was BTV's "current" observations this morning
  4. Not me. When I saw “she gone” I just wanted to jump on the chance to post some Hall and Oates.
  5. Damn you. That lead me in to the Curb rabbit hole. There goes my afternoon at work!
  6. Because your kids are grown and out of the house?
  7. You can really see the elevation impact on accumulation. I drive I-89 everyday and coming down the hill from Berlin to Montpelier and get a great view of the Worcester Range and bits of the Spine. The upper 1000' are almost completely white. It's like a line was drawn on the mountainsides.
  8. Nice. That will be good for the Rangeley region.
  9. Much less here away from the spine but pretty consistent flurry/light snow action over the last day or two. All snow is good snow, until April at least. By then I’m jonesing for some golf.
  10. No, he just wanted to know if the driver had access to the JMA upper air charts
  11. As soon as someone shows any interest, online or in person lol. A few people start clicking on it and all of a sudden the price goes up, just like plane tickets.
  12. Made reservations in Millinocket for the weekend. I realize they don’t have much more snow than we do right now but I’m going to give it a go anyway. I’ve never been past Augusta so it will be great to see new country. I used to love watching that logging show that was based there so even if the riding isn’t great, I’m sure we’ll have a good time.
  13. I have been art my office since 4:00 or so. Wasn't doing anything when I got here but my wife just texted that the roads are covered at home. Guess I should look out the windows once in a while.
  14. @Dryslot (or any other Mainers) got the go ahead from the wife to head up next weekend. Thinking of Millinocket. How's the snow there? I know it would be better up in the county but Milli would be a bit shorter of a drive and seems like a decent split between the crowds of Rangeley and the County.
  15. Isn’t some of it the impact though? A lot fewer people in AK and the upper Midwest than in the east coast megalopolis. It’s the same thing here somewhat. Lots fewer posters in NNE than SNE so notable events In NNE receive less “coverage” than ones in SNE. Ray is a valuable and great poster but he personifies this. Anything in moose fart land just doesn’t pop up on his radar.
  16. Started as some sleety rain in Williston and the car thermo topped out at 37F in Jonesville on the way home. Light sleet from Waterbury until just before Exit 6 on 89, which is about 1400’-1450’ in elevation. Here at home (1250’) it was a messy mix last time I looked out.
  17. I hope everything turns out ok Gene. Is he at Dartmouth? That’s a top notch facility. Best of luck.
  18. I have a friend who rides that area and he said basically the same thing, that it sounds like they got outsides the staked trail and too close to an inlet area. I hate riding on ice and avoid it if at all possible. It;s been more than 10 years since this happened and since that time most ice crossings in the state have been done away with. https://www.suncommunitynews.com/articles/the-sun/three-die-in-snowmobile-accident-on-frozen-lake/ http://lakeice.squarespace.com/lake-dunmore-tragedy/
  19. For us, it's the lack of retention is has been the issue
  20. And that was just for the microbrews you brought home!
  21. I think anywhere in western Maine is going to be overrun with sleds because of proximity to NH. Many people from further away from the state line that I have talked to over the years at the snowmobile show haven't even been all that aware there is an open weekend. I'd probably want to get to at least Millinocket. I haven't been that far up. I'm still unsure whether we are going to do it though.
  22. May have to travel next weekend to Maine for the open weekend. Sleds are already on the trailer and may not be taken off this weekend. I do like to see the NAM reduce qpf output. I can at least have something to tell myself is a positive sign.
