tunafish Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Night 1 of 2 chaperoning a school adventure club camping trip in the Whites. Low of 9.5°F outside according to the weenie thermo I brought. Temp in my tent stayed right between 26-29° all night and with the proper tent and sleep pad, the <0° bag was almost too warm at times. Pack is still anywhere from 8-18" generally. Got that rotting spring look with a bunch of stuff from the trees on top even though it was fresh at the start of the week. Definitely more glacial than soft, at least this morning. Looks like tonight will be warmer but more windy. I think I'd prefer to radiate. Possibly some exciting squalls later on the hike. LFG. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 5 hours ago, tunafish said: Meant to post this reply earlier but sill sitting here as a draft... I really love this post. It would sound lame to a non-weenie, but this kind of data collection and maintenance must be a huge point of pride. There is something so gratifying about being a steward of records, and thats coming from someone whose observation task involves about a tenth of what yours does, so I can only imagine the feeling of accomplishment. It's honestly why I hope I never have to give it up unnecessarily. So great. We have a great small knit crew that diligently takes care of it throughout the season and we do really enjoy it. It’s nice to see what it is actually at the ski area, vs just estimating snowfall and throwing numbers out there. You really see the importance of taking a measurement at the same place all the time and as a skier, you start to be able to guess pretty accurately what you’ll find there based on observations elsewhere on the mountain. No matter what, as long as one continues to record obs in the same manner over and over, it makes for fun data comparisons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll get active here in mid-April, and except for the odd 6-week late summer hiatus, will be hunting for blood until snow cover arrives.

Typhoon Tip Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 6 hours ago, dendrite said: “Came in” Haha…more cloud BS up here today You have me as a witness... Seems there's been a bit of a + anomaly with that standing wave cloud materialization phenomenon going on this early spring. We had nape sun earlier but have since denigrated the skies to a virga blizzard with blotches of dark exploded CU ...corpuscular rays blasting out around the edges as they made sure to eclipse any hope of penetrating sun. Nothing reaching the ground of course... Reminds me of that first winter like cold snap in mid November you get. Maybe if your lucky while raking you'll see a single flurry flake catch the corner of your eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I'm highly confident that when the March temperature anomaly is made available by NASA in a couple of weeks it will reveal the 6th consecutive month where a cold sink hole's apparently anchored over the NE' U.S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
