  1. @dendrite that Tornado warning has got to be near your parent's place iirc
  2. This must really suck for people spending their Saturday night camping out over quite a large area.
  3. Couple of strikes close enough to hear but still dry. Almost completely still out there.
  4. Sunapee has a good rep for snowmaking and grooming in NH too. For people who want predictable corduroy surfaces on cruising trails it is good.
  5. That's pretty exciting in terms of season's passes. I've got local day/night covered (Crotched/Sunapee). Weekender type places in Mt. Snow, Attitash/Wildcat, and Stowe, and then Vacation worthy places out west. Last time I was in S. Lake Tahoe I only went to Heavenly a couple days because the day ticket rate is so high and it was hard to find any vouchers (and the snow conditions sucked).
  6. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/siberia-pleistocene-park-bringing-back-pieces-of-the-ice-age-to-combat-climate-change-60-minutes-2019-07-07/ Interesting piece. They are arguing that the loss of the Woolly Mammoth and other large animals in that area caused forest growth which traps heat and helps melt permafrost.
  7. Ticks are the worst here. Just had one on my leg while getting the charcoal grill going, enjoyed tossing him in the fire.
  8. No need to apologize. It's not at all traumatic for me to recall that.
  9. I rented a hunting cabin for the winter in VT back in the 90's and one night all alone I passed out and fell on the floor, when I came to I was able to drag myself out the front door. Once I hit the fresh air I was feeling fine pretty fast. I'm pretty sure it was CO poisoning from a wood stove fire that wasn't venting well. Probably as close to death as I've ever been. Hadn't thought about that in a long time, but this chat obviously triggered that memory.
  10. Got an ultra-heavy rain burst there right after my last post. Winds and lightning did not happen tho.
  11. You'd think I was getting crushed from the radar, but not much going on. Light rain and winds and no lightning.
  12. Nice heavy t-shower with a sprinkle of hail.
  13. There was a funnel report and a water spout report on that one.
  14. Lots going on in the core of the system. CDO looks to be expanding and becoming more symmetrical, but the coldest tops (whites) are now confined to the southern half of the storm vs. wrapped all the way around.
  15. The 98's I picked up seem like a good compromise for all conditions you might encounter in NE. If I didn't like to snowboard on legit powder days I might be interested in a wider ski.
  16. Agreed. Ryan and the other guy did a great job with now-casting and analysis and communicating it all.
  17. Storm just north of Danbury looking mean. New warning up for it.
  18. Watching nbc ct live coverage.. They have a remote at bdl. CTrain breaking it down.
  19. I wouldn't suggest being on top of a mountain with no shelter as a severe t-storm comes through, but that's just me.
  20. Damn, 2.75" hail reported by trained spotter near Clermont NY
  21. Must be some swirling winds coming off MTW today to make grlevel3 think there's a tvs there. It has been appearing close to that spot on and off for a few hours.
  22. Should be a clear standard for this. I'm a fan of the ruler in the snow at the end of the storm, but that is clearly not ideal for long duration or major snowstorms. I feel like adding a disclaimer that my measurements are for entertainment purposes only.
  23. Another 3" overnight.. I'm calling it 16" total. Only cleared once (before the last 3")
