2014 the NWS had to create an 80 year observer award for the Bridgehampton observer. He was 101 then, passed in 2016 at 103, having forced the NWS to create yet another award (85 years).

No need for the scrolls, because he actually recorded obs during the 1938 LI Express. 

Slant-sticking since 1913.

This made me laugh a lot.

So I list a set of snow tires on Craiglist for $100.  Some guy responds whether I was "looking for $ or to trade".  I told him I'd trade him the tires for $100.

Actually, It doesn’t, Sitting is not the problem, Standing or walking long distances is because of the spine compression, So looking forward to another decent season up here, Your moving to Bath right?

 

At least temporarily.  We're putting Pit1 on the market so I'll be moving out of here to keep it clean and pet-free.  I don't expect a quick sale, and we won't be making another purchase until we do.  So, I see little chance of not being up there the entire winter--perhaps longer.

Changed what I was eating and cut the beer out of the diet, I go with 1,800 cals/day, Lot of greens, Lot of protein, Lot of seafood, Lot of Whole grain, And just a few carbs, Trying to get some walking in as well but limited on how much I can do because of the back.

 

Does the back impact your riding?  I'm counting on a NNE winter this year.

I think there's pretty good evidence of an overall positive NAO (it doesn't mean there can't be bouts of negative.) You can use similar rationale to throw out the blockbusters of the 60s and 70s Ninos given the difference of the atmosphere and climo. 

You can look at a season like maybe 86-87 or 94-95 to see evidence of lackluster Atlantic blocking during weak Ninos. 

I don't think any of us are experts on the subject per say...its mostly a stab in the dark. 

Man, those SST's are going to be causing some early season angst amongst the coastal plain.

Yea right, with all the MRI technology they have my Dr was blown away at the damage. Even my work life looks unlikely. Lots to comprehend and lots to contemplate. Thanks to all you guys for keeping me laughing.. I may need to hire someone for our 02-03 GGW winter incoming. 

Quite the changes, Steve.  Focus on the positive: every 6 hours being able to pour through a new set of model runs.  We expect in-depth assessment and accurate forecasts for each event.!

Well we are approaching Oct 29 th

What a beautiful storm that was for Mitch, Pete and myself.  24-30+", powder from start to finish.  I remember I posted soundings for the Pit, and Gynx saying "man, that's showing you snow big time".  We did wait quite a while for the next event that winter--long after that one had melted away.

I’ll tell you, I’m down 43 lbs, Started back in June and the back feels better, But it has its limit with all the damage I have as well.

wow---did you stop eating?

Looks like the dank day we had through the early afternoon managed to turn into a rainy one/evening.  Meanwhile, sky was clear in Marion.

Yet another day that was supposed to be sunny is slate grey. Looks like it's cloudy until next Wednesday

 

My progged high of 63* is a bit elusive; only 54* and 2:00pm.

Hey dudes, 2 surgeries, couple of basically paralyzed days . Home with a walker and screens running iPad tv phone, baseball, weather, movies. Appears things are pretty bad and my skiing. And doing  extremes life is over.. can’t risk paralysis, that **** was scary. Day by day. I have had tons of research time . Holy 02/03 analog. I will finish out my life as a voice for those who can not speak. By the way Backus Hospital sucks, staff is awesome they just are overwhelmed

So sorry to hear about the skiing, Steve--but super glad about your recovery.  

As far as 02/03 goes, I can't remember years.  Can you help a brotha?

40F.    2nd fire of the year. 

With the house going on the market, I don't think any fires are going to be lit here in order to keep it clean.  Expect I'll be up at Pit2 before the end of the month.

Perhaps a week to Peak--just like clockwork.

54*

You’ll be able to have pina coladas on the deck next week.

Meh--overdone.

A guy from work lives in WY--just posted a video of the snow piling up on his car.

Nice!

Dumping leaves this morning.  Noticeably less sun-blockage from the trees.  It's getting that feel.....or at least that look.

Kind of like this one with "Banter" in the title, which coincidentally is where most of the hype, endless summer, and endless winter references are made?

 

I love how the picture of one of the sets of snow tires I'm selling is in the screen shot. 

Both sets are still available, btw.  $100/set

Be well Ginx. 

With the dews and rains being the new norm, at least we never have to hear about severe drought again.

The false cries of drought in the Northeast will be muted until May.

I will say....the weak nino-solar min comp is not only cold, but wet along the east coast...especially north.

This adds appeal to my upcoming residence at PIT2.

Landscape guys say they have to wait for loam to dry out before spreading it. Really? do they plan on shoveling all of it? I'm just a bit annoyed with these guys and their delays. Looks pretty warm coming up, so not too worried about establishment. Hoping to hydroseed end of the week.

Fun times in store!  Have you considered simply raking in seed rather than hydro-seeding?  I've heard there's a lot of weed-seed in those products.

I could really use a dry stretch of weather.

Be careful of what you wish for.  Keep that November-February drought at bay!

Looks like the Pit managed 44.0.    Just started my initial descent to BDL.  Looking forward to being back home!
