  1. Gene, are you able to capture that video and speed it up? Sure looks like a rain foot surging out ahead of the core, downbursty.
  2. My high school girlfriend's birthday happened to be the date of the Pats Snow Bowl game (obviously didn't know what it would turn into at the time, but I digress). So I turned it into making her dinner at home so the game could be on. Gotta score some points and get what you want at the same time.
  3. I trust the machines. Seriously though, these have been pretty helpful at IDing time periods to watch for. Because of the random forecast creation of these probabilities, it's not like the SREF where large probabilities may be dominated by one variable (like CAPE). This is what it is using for inputs. "These include surface-based CAPE and CIN, 10-m winds (U10, V10, UV10); surface temperature and specific humidity (T2M, Q2M), precipitable water (PWAT), accumulated precipitation (APCP), wind shear from the surface to 850 and to 500 hPa (SHR850, SHR500), and mean sea level pressure (MSLP). For Day 1, three additional predictors are supplied: surface relative humidity (RH2M), lifting condensation level height above ground (ZLCL), and surface to 850 hPa storm relative helicity (SRH)"

  5. We drove up Haleakala for sunrise and then hiked down a bit into the crater. It was noticeable.
  6. Nobody would prosecute you...
  7. Sometimes, especially when I play solo, I'll try a type of modified Stableford. Bogey is worth zero (so essentially setting my par at bogey golf), and under par is worth twice as much as over par takes away (par = 1, birdie = 2, double bogey = -1 , etc). Then I just try and accumulate as many points as possible. Takes my mind off the total strokes number.
  8. Found out through our gear box issue that some of the parts were original to the radar install! 1993!
  9. Looks like an old air strip next to the Freedom town forest.
  10. 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.
  11. This site is going to get blocked on NOAA IP addresses...
  12. 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.
  13. 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...
  14. As long as I picked up over a quarter inch IMBY.
  15. 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.
