  1. Forgot to add the last event because it was pretty underwhelming at the coast, but another 2.7" takes me to 50.6" for the season.
  2. Interestingly I don't think this would fly anymore. The NWS couldn't provide support like that to the Olympics directly because they could pay for private service. Nowadays we would only be able to address public safety issues with the EM community.
  3. I keep hammering the idea of a new set for birthday/Father's Day/Christmas. I can't complain though because this year is a trip to Nebraska to play Dismal River and maybe Sandhills if we can get lucky.
  4. So we just discovered a -41 at Jackman Saturday morning. Nice fake cold.
  5. Maybe John Henry can write the postmortem on this winter. He'll be able to put lipstick on that Alaskan pig.
  6. I have more snow now than I did that whole season. And it was my first full winter up here too.
  7. I'll take sensors wherever I can get them. Edit: Weather sensors, weather sensors...
  8. I'm learning Italian for a vacation later this year, and my language app is throwing phrases at me that use demonstratives. Just got: La primavera é in ritardo quest'anno Foreshadowing 40 and sheet drizzle in the months to come?
  9. Kirkwood Mountain in CA has a sensor by "Chair 6" gusting to 209 mph in the last couple of hours. That's dangerously close to taking MWN down as the tops in the USA.
  10. 4.8" from the initial WAA yesterday brings me to 45.1" total. We've managed to stay just ahead of normal (37.5" for the date) just about all season despite a torched January.
  11. From the very end of the Knife's Edge (we didn't hike it but walked over to the start of it just to peek) and that second one is actually Baxter Peak from Hamlin.
  12. I'm now looking up how feasible trips to Torngat and Gros Morne would be from Maine.
  13. I've always thought getting a cabin on a lake up in PQ for a week would be a very relaxing vacation.
  14. Moosehead is definitely starting to get into that zone where the trees are all a little smaller and you start to feel like you're getting towards the edge of the Earth. I can only imagine what the tundra of Quebec must look like.
  15. Definitely no weather equipment at the top permanently (maybe one off research projects at times). Closest you'll get is weather data from Chimney Pond ranger station, and even then I don't think any of it is online in a timely fashion.
  16. Those days of having family memberships to country clubs are even slipping away. Not many people have that kind of disposable income. I'd love to do it (and my wife is even on board with the idea!) but it comes down to $3000 plus monthly food vs. a vacation or two (or more likely preschool).
  17. Over 1000 pages, but if you want an inside peek at the Sharpie incident NOAA dumped a big FOIA request last night. I read through most of it myself (a lot of it is multiple pages of FWDs and replies). Weird to see people I know/have met getting wrapped up in a FOIA request.
  18. Natural disasters can really do a number. The golf course in St. Thomas is still up for sale (~5 mil if anyone is in the market) after Irma/Maria. Miss one season of golf and I'm sure they couldn't make payments too.
  19. Then I lead by example. I've had this phone for at least 5 years.
