Crazy drying up here this morning... it was like an hour max it went from -RN and thick cloud cover to 100% blue clear skies. Beautiful day up here now and got warm fast...feels like it went from 50F to 70F with the sun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 23 hours ago, Hoth said: Oh, no doubt about it. I'm sure if there were a station atop Denali, things would change PDQ. On the WCI thread (Lakes/OV subforum) I noted having read a book titled "-148", about an attempted winter ascent of Denali that failed due to a huge windstorm. At one point a veteran bush pilot flew up hoping to check on the climbers, and reported a near "hover" above one spot while his airspeed indicator read 140 kt. Don't recall what the temps were at the climber's hiding place at the time. (And my read was years before the current WCI was developed.) That PF-posted video was wild. I thought the one serious dust devil I've seen was intense because it carried one of those waist-high ashtray thingies about 1/4 mile to the far side of a small lake, the black can describing circles in the air all the way. This one blows away that 1966 event. (Pun intended.) Edit: Two mistakes in the top paragraph. 1st is that book's title is "Minus 148" - try searching what I wrote above and you'll get the runaround. 2nd is that the team actually summited, 1st ever winter ascent, and got caught by the storm while descending, and still high up. The 1st edition of the book is dated 1969 (I read it in 1974 or 75), and Denali has been climbed several more times during winter since then, including a solo ascent a few years back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Any mechanics or car guru types here? I was rear ended today pretty good ( I am not hurt). So basically, the kid who hit me is obviously at fault as he hit me when I was making a left into a sub joint. This is besides the point, anyway. So I drove my car home, but there is a good amount of damage. He hit back right side. Muffler and exhausted was destroyed, back right panel and back side panel also destroyed. The tire was also ever so slightly bent inward, and I could feel it when I drove it home down the street. Finally, the steering wheel was not straight when driving straight, is that an alignment thing? Anyway, my car is at a shop now and I was put in a rental through the other persons insurance. What could possible be wrong, and potential cost? My car is worth ~15k so I’d be stunned if it’s totaled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 It doesn’t take much to total a car. Do you have RWD or FWD? If you have any frame damage or rear axle damage that repair figure will climb quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the body shop come up with a number and deal with that persons insurance. They'll cut you a check for the damage to repair.

Either way, it doesn’t matter I guess. And the insurance is already processing the claim under the person who hit me. They got me a rental yesterday after the crash. So hopefully the cut and dry nature helps speed the process along. We actually had the same insurance company and he filed immediately and they informed me i was clearly not at fault for the accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Coc," ...if we are interpreting its usage for non-prurient means ... I was once told that is a metaphor for 'chamber of commerce' - which is probably referring to the processed air in those sorts of venues, featured by 72/50 standardization for OCEA or EPA and whatever the f determines what those setting should be... So... taken fwiw - that doesn't ...or shouldn't really, over much latitude ...otherwise, conditions would no longer be synonymous with said standards.

wxeyeNH Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Yesterdays 72F under a dark blue sky was a top 10 day up here. ( after the early AM clouds and very light rain). Today the score is lower on any scale. A high cirrus deck is mucking up the score but I'll take 76/54 and high overcast as a top 40 day, you guys are doing better down there...

Perfect weather though, definitely chamber weather at 78/45. 63F up here at 4kft, for the usual 15F spread from peak to town. Hiking trails are packed.

powderfreak Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 One final patch of snow left on the ski trails... find the white. Still a couple widely scattered natural snow patches hidden deep in the spruce forests up high near the Stake and under the cliffs by the top of the Gondola...it is crazy how long that stuff can last when its hidden in the dark cold forest floor under the spruce's and protected from the sun by the cliffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
