Looks like an old air strip next to the Freedom town forest.

I saw Yellowstone went to ALPS (alternating license plate system) for park entry this season, mostly due to flood recovery I think. So you can only get in the park on even days if your plate's last digit is even, and vice versa. Glad that wasn't in effect when we visited.

This site is going to get blocked on NOAA IP addresses...

Bigfoot using it as a rest stop?

Gear box leak. Hopefully we're all set now. Probably didn't rush the part because the weekend was quiet weather, but it would've been nice to have earlier today.

Well they have at least three more years left visiting Maine after the first year of the contract got pushed out because of the first COVID wave. I'm hoping one of the several golfers I walk with will hit it big on the PGA so I can say I remember when...

As long as I picked up over a quarter inch IMBY.

I volunteered as a walking scorer again with the Korn Ferry event in Falmouth, ME. It's really amazing watching pros go after a course when you get to watch every shot. I saw 5 golfers play every shot over two days. The two things that always jump out at me are how they almost always get up and down, no matter the situation, and how well they hit their fairway woods/long irons.

It's like steering a cruise ship, can't make fast course corrections. We're headed towards a reality more like our severe thunderstorm warnings, that are hand drawn, but the technology isn't there yet for winter storm warnings, high wind watches, etc. In the coming years we'll be able to select an elevation or even a wind chill contour and issue statements for above or below. The biggest issue is that doing headlines that way will never be county based, and almost all the dissemination is county based. But it would be a start.

Maybe I should get her carboard cut out like Wiz had of Miley.

I'm embedding at HSEM in September and it's definitely something I can raise with them. I'm sure we could come up with a climatology of rare enough to not be a nuisance and frequent enough to be a hazard.

We were actually having a discussion about different ways to handle it this morning. This is a great example of how the hazard simplification paradigm will be a good thing for the NWS. Right now we cannot issue elevation based products like a winter weather advisory or special weather statement. BUT if we can transition to the HazSimp idea where only warnings and statements exist, we theoretically could issue a statement for just elevations above 2500 ft in a situation like this.

Our REC forecast was pretty damn close to the actual conditions, so that was good. But we really didn't do much more than some cursory mentions of bad weather above 2500 ft. We definitely could've hit it on our social feeds harder (more like MWObs). I was off, but I think I plan to use this as an example for everyone, especially the new people at the office, that we have a serious number of recreators every warm season and most of them have no clue about how cold it can get in the summer.

Not sure if you can access this (https://hwp-viz.gsd.esrl.noaa.gov/wave1d/?col=2&hgt=1&location=KPWM&selectedgroup=Default&obs=true&fontsize=1&darkmode=auto&graph=fa-chart-bar&probfield=Tmax&proboperator=>%3D&probvalue=40&colorfriendly=false&whiskers=false&boxes=true&median=false&det=true&tz=local) but it plots obs on the forecast as time goes on.

You could always hit Liquid Riot on Commercial and sit outside on the dock deck. They are more bar than brewery, but they do have their own stuff that's pretty good.

Beer.

I have to say Bissell I think. Also like a lot of what Battery Steele and Lone Pine do. Allagash if you want more Euro-styled beers.

Hail up to thy knickers

It's true. It's common knowledge that you downslope in nor'easters and get that warmer/drier weather.

So much beer he thinks he's in Phoenix.

Why not? You know what would be better than ruining another holiday weekend, ruining another holiday weekend with 12 hour tropical shifts.

I have two that bloom on both, so I shield it and stuff it with pine straw in the winter and see what grows in the spring and trim back the rest.
