Isn't it great racking up the frequent flyer miles for free trips you have no desire to go on because you just want to be home when the work trips are done?
I had not been up there for measurements along the way--but until the couple weeks leading to last week's storm, things did look pretty good up there.
My effort to get the family excited to drive to Pit2 tomorrow night for a snowstorm went over like a lead balloon. I hope I can finagle at least a solo trip.
I'll never pass on the storm. But, to the point of depth, give me the big storms in December. March pads season totals but it's short-lived once the storm passes.
GYX playing it conservatively with it's snow forecast--which is still pretty healthy. Not hitting wind issues at all. I suspect they'll still be strong enough to keep my lawn free of accumulation while up the street they need a yard stick.
Have adjusted snow ratios down, and for now have suppressed
model QPF somewhat to generate snowfall forecast. This leaves
room for upward or downward adjustment as the event draws
closer. That said still appears to be yet another significant
snowfall event for the region. Based on current track and QPF
alignment mid-coast and central Maine appear to be best aligned
to see the greatest snowfall.
Apologies for the non-tech post. My nephew is sheltered in place in Vieques. SHare good thoughts and prayers to him and all others on PR and it's associated islands.
Boy, that would be a year from hell for you: a cool, dry summer followed by a dud winter. You might want to fire up your spring '18 lawn thread now and be done with it.
And, it feels even warmer with the relatively cooler air temops.
The afternoon commute traffic this summer sucked the big one. Don't know what was up with that.
I'm fine with a day or two like that at Pit2. Just make it nice enough at some point to make it to 5-islands and I'm fine (sounding a bit like Jeff Spiccoli there).
