Tomorrow looks like it's gonna be a mite chilly I'll tell ya, my clutch was an unhappy car part this morning for the first mile or so until everything warmed up. I wish I had a garage On the upside, there is definitely something to be said for cold, dry pavement and the right tires on a good sports car I had all sortsa fun last night and this morning And that's one area where a mechanical clutch outshines hydraulic.

Much faster and consistent. However, when it comes to road carving in a sports car, a stick is always nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Already down to 1F and in a state of total freefall until the wind picks up at some point tonight. The snow is making that squeaking noise underfoot, doesn't get much better. Gonna head to the river for sunrise in search of some nice sea smoke. Probably only a few days to see that before there's not enough open water left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestHillWx Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I'm at 10. Definitely "feels" colder than any other night. Skies are crystal clear, should radiate well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if you can capture sea smoke rising from the river at night while the stars are sparkling overhead. Cold and dry is terrific for AP!

IrishRob17 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Made it down to 3 this morning for the low, still haven't touched or gone below zero yet. The massive piles of snow being made in a relatively short amount of time in the park with this temps is really something to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Yeah it looks like 4 was my low. If it's going to be this cold it should get a little colder just because 0 is a good target. Temps this cold are useless anyway for outdoor activities so what's wrong with a little bit colder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lows around here haven't been anything extraordinary with this cold snap. We need to lose another 10F at night for interesting phenomena like sea smoke, frost flowers, light pillars, etc. The consistently struggling daytime highs have been impressive however. My low this morning was -0.4 so I guess the 'official' subzero streak is already over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Creek has been blowing snow non-stop. The snow base should be really good by tomorrow. Last season was a complete disaster in terms of days open. Thinking of hitting the slopes tomorrow. Will take an epic January thaw to knock them down this season. The snow will come..I am told. I was able see a cloud of white snow from my deck looking south west at Mountain Creek this afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like when SFla feels the chill a little... it tends to settle down the old relatives that call every weekend in the winter and brag about how warm and wonderful it is down there.

gravitylover Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Snowing harder than I thought it would after all the miss and bust chatter the last two days. I've got a good thick coating on everything already and the extra dense brine soaking the streets got yesterday doesn't seem to have done any good but at 10* I wouldn't expect it to without a fair bit of traffic on it. Hopefully that updated 2" forecast holds true. I think I'm going to go out for a mt bike ride this afternoon For as cold as it has been it hasn't been as unbearable as many other cold snaps. Maybe because it just kind of settled in, I don't know. I sure would like to see a couple of subzero nights out of this though. The heat in my house has been running pretty much constantly and it has really dried things out inside too much. Gonna go get a humidifier today.

IrishRob17 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Violently agree, the snow has been steadier than I expected even with not so great radar returns. Zero virga too from what I could tell. A big storm? Nah. Just a nice festive snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
