It seems like the HRRR led the pack with the wraparound frozen precip. It's often overzealous with dynamic cooling in developing CCBs but things sure enough cooled off quickly last night. The melting layer did hold steady here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 It flurried for a while last night but didn't amount to anything. About 20 miles east of me there was a good, solid coating on the ground at 7am this morning. Wintry day today, cold but not bad if you were out of the wind. The next two nights ought to be good and cold. It's like winter wants to be here but can't quite settle in though, if the chatter in the main thread is right it looks like we're about 3-4 weeks away from the real deal.

Juliancolton Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Stone chamber solstice alignments FTL on Friday morning. Last year was perfect with direct sunlight doing its Stonehenge thing... this time round you'll be lucky to see your nose in front of your face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have less daylight, it must be getting darker earlier...right Rob? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, it stays relatively close, although the winter solstice is technically the shortest day for us in the northern hemisphere. However, most people think the sunset just keeps getting earlier until the solstice, which isn't the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 2.9" of soggy including last night before midnight. Mosquitoes are out and there are a variety of small crawling insects that I don't usually see this time of year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 2.39” here. I drove back from nj over the tz and it was totally socked in. They had the bridge lit up though and it looked cool. What wasn’t cool was the saw mill being closed northbound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So with a gov't shutdown what aspects of the NWS will stop working? NOAA, NCEP...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I thought I saw a few while I was out cutting up the tree that came down yesterday. Boy, talk about wrong tool for the job. I was using a 30 year old electric chain saw with a pretty dull chain and ran out of chain oil after the first major cut so had to drip bike chain lube on for the rest. I cut enough up that it's not suspended and under tension or leaning on other trees anymore, gotta get a real saw to finish it though. On to chainsaws Does anyone here have any direct experience with some of the new high power rechargeable saws? I see a nice 60 volt Craftsman and a few other nice looking pieces from Stihl and Milwaukee. Any thoughts...? Does anyone have a mill I can borrow for a day or two? I might just get a Granberg Alaska Mill and make a few nice slabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally fine for everything but big trees and I’m not touching those by myself anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
