Coast needs a lot to make this white IMO, their best shot IMO is a weak low trying to understand it all but Im getting it,,,,,,,,thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trending a little better with the front making a little more progress. A possibility of an overrunning event a couple of days after that, as of today's 12z runs. Subject to change somewhat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup all gone, a few patches on north facing hillsides on the way home from work but they'll be gone soon too. Hopefully we get a bit more from the opportunities coming up. I'd love to see us end with a foot or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 A couple years back, some of us were talking about the stone chambers in the area and their supposed celestial alignments. I finally made it to the "Winter Solstice Chamber" in Kent this am and it was definitely an impressive sight with the sunlight perfectly streaming in through the doorway. I did sort of get caught off-guard by the pagan chanting and Druid peace rituals. For some reason, out of about 50 people there, I was the only one who couldn't feel any connection with the spirits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't warm as much, or for as long, as it looked like earlier in the week. Looks like the beverages will need to be consumed before next week, I don't want anything freezing and possibly exploding in there, It got down to 11 degrees in there last week. 2 hours ago, BxEngine said: Or while sitting in his hot tub.

Wait, where is this? I was reading today about a site in Scotland that predates Stonehenge (it's over 5,000 years old) and it also predicts the Winter Solstice, among other things (eclipses, conjunctions, etc.) Fascinating how much the ancients knew! There's also the Dogon tribe in Africa that had a festival every 60 years when Sirius (Dog Star) appeared in a little notch between two mountains.

There are hundreds of these stone chambers in a relatively small area and it seems like a disproportionate amount (assuming they're just colonial root cellars) are aligned with the solstices and/or equinoxes. You probs know by now that I generally follow the mainstream ideas about most things but the alternate theories about ancient stonework in the mid-HV are hard to completely ignore... you could explain away most of it until you got to the 3,000+ y/o rock walls in the middle of the river floor off Storm King, then it gives pause 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this close to Stony Point? I go there pretty regularly so I definitely want to stop by. They'd probably be Native Americans if anything I don't think Druids crossed the Atlantic. But it's pretty intriguing. If Thor Heyerdahl could cross the Pacific in Kon-Tiki I guess it's possible. Sometimes I wonder what conventional or mainstream means anymore lol. It just seems like knowledge that is open to revision with more information. I was watching Nova a few months ago and they were showing proof in Brazil that ancient Phoenicians escaped from burning Carthage and reached the depths of the Amazon in Brazil by sailing up the Amazon after crossing the Atlantic. They built these huge structures in the rain forest that bear symbols on the walls that resemble Phoenician. I was amazed when I saw all that, I had thought all the residents of Carthage were shamelessly destroyed by the Romans when the city was burned to the ground. But the Phoenicians were renowned sailors, the best in the known world at the time, so I guess it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
