  1. Today is threatening to become a nice day. 44 with part sun, we hoodie.
  2. They're treating the roads. For what, I'm not sure.
  3. A dusting on mulch, and pickup, beds, but otherwise just wet here at 31.8. Hopefully we can scour out the stratus layer before any potential geomagnetic storming tonight.
  4. 19 here so far. Orographic cloudiness is thickening up a bit, so probably near the end of the nose-dive.
  5. Nature is healing. A full-halo on LASCO, albeit somewhat faint. That Goddard 6z/9 estimated arrival would be perfectly timed to connect with the CIR shock already en route, so maybe we'll get some nice numbers. Hopefully this cycle doesn't pick up where the last one left off with impact invariably happening at like 8 am.
  6. Many Christmas tree farms are picked over and closing for the season after unprecedented traffic in the first two weekends. Two out of three in my town have officially put an end to cutting, and the third was ready to pull the plug any time now when I spoke to the owner yesterday. An unforeseen, and I assume unforeseeable, result of the pandemic.
  7. 0.70" of rain here. That's much more than even the most aggressive model QPF I've seen in the last several days... would have been quite the snowy bust if it were colder. As it is, a wet day is a wet day for most folks, so it goes unnoticed.
  8. Agree with the sentiment but formally request subbing out Jan 16 for Feb 14.
  9. I love Land Rovers and British cars in general (Jag E-Type is probably the best-looking car ever made), but the reliability trope is real. Not sure that's inherently better than the archetypal American vehicle, with awful looks and awful build quality but a mercilessly indestructible engine.
  10. I demand proof that there exists an early 2000s British car that still starts.
  11. Did you not see anything in the late October event?
  12. That's remarkably close though, all things considered. More than accurate enough for anybody in agriculture or forest management, or really anything besides official record-keeping.
  13. It's getting toasty. 65/61 at POU, normal last day of November stuff
  14. Like a hole in the head... Lights have been interesting this year. You had to account for the legs of your ladder sinking three feet into the muck.
  15. My station is reporting .28", sadly I forgot to re-install my Stratus after the fence upon which it lived was replaced over the weekend. Thus far today I've been on the receiving end of two "nice weather if you're a duck"'s and one "imagine if this were snow." At least I haven't heard "we really needed this."
  16. That was one of the more dramatic warm fronts I can remember. A sudden rush of mild, tropical-smelling air, with a recorded temp increase of 10F in about 15 minutes. Probably more of a mixing event than a synoptic airmass change, but there was definitely a boundary of some kind.
  17. It's too muggy out, and turkey is still a mediocre food. Goodnight.
  18. Yeah, that'll be cool. The angular separation of 6' is about half the apparent distance between Mizar and Alcor in the Big Dipper. I can just resolve that double star if skies are clear and my prescription is up to date (and the creek don't rise?), so I can buy that Jupiter and Saturn will just about show as a single point for most folks.
  19. First order of business is switching back to incandescent bulbs. Let's show the city folk what real Christmas lights look like.
  20. 14, meh. My valley offers little shelter against a S flow.
  21. Already down to 17 here. The surface ridge axis starts sliding offshore around 10z, so until that happens I don't really see any reason the temp shouldn't continue to gradually fall. 10-11F seems like a good guess for a low.
  22. Haven't been able to break the freezing mark yet which is impressive for the date. Solidly 20F below normal.
  23. Eh, it's not so bad if you don't go outside.
