    I mean K index isn't always the tell all either. A good proxy for sure, but sometimes the ACE data can tell a better story. The May event was between a 5-6 and the aurora was a brilliant show around here for those that didn't have clouds. I know at GYX we've had some blah 7s, and amazing 5s (like October 2013 that peaked at a 5).

    It should. After all it's going to get cloudy tonight, so it only makes sense.

    Tough but not unbearable is what I remember most. No wind made a huge difference, because I've been at games where it was 20 with a 20 mph wind, and that feels like 4 degrees felt much worse that just being 4 degrees.

    Man I mentally checked out on this one, seeing as I was in ITH for it.

    I think it officially kicked off at 4oF, and all beer was poured from bottles as the tap lines were frozen. You had to poke a hole through the head of your beer to take a sip. And you're right, assuming the volume of the footballs didn't change much if they started the game at 12.5 PSI they would have dropped to 9.6 or so in that temperature range. I still think Vinatieri was kicking a rock around that night.

    I just hope the weenies remember this next time somebody says something about climo and cancelling winter. You don't really need a February 2015 to turn a ratter into an average season. Too many cliff jumpers.

    Well, wind off the water right? Must mean no snow inside 128.

    It's going to be a north of 84 kind of winter.
  9. OceanStWx
    That usually works out well in the winter.

    Yeah, it's not placed in a good spot for us either. Right about where we normally try to view it, unless we can get some curtains higher in the sky.

    Nice dense wind too. If we can just keep the convective debris clear, things look good.

    Impressive given the amount of moonlight out there. I tried, but had no luck with the naked eye.

    MWN reporting AURBO now.
  15. OceanStWx
    MWN still in the clouds too, but reporting BINOVC now. So they might be able to spot any activity soon.

    Clouds stole my aurora, and now clouds are stealing my severe.

    Local area fogged in just in time for things to go to town. That was agonizing to watch knowing how good the display was. I literally could see the glow driving in my car as I passed breaks in the trees on the way to the GYX area. Arrived only to find stratus and fog streaming in off the water.

    Got my first reds in November I guess it was 2013 here at the office. It was pretty cool to be able to see that with the naked eye. Ekster says this event Tuesday probably would've looked better in photos, but was more brief.

    Since moving to work at GYX, I've seen them at the office at least a half dozen times in 5 years. And that's just at the whim of when I was on the schedule in the evenings. I actually was able to see this past one with the naked eye in Portland.

    2.5 km CMC is a bit further west, and close to the Euro. It's looking more and more like the deformation is favored just inland from the coast.
  21. OceanStWx
    But yes, I am. I'm liking where I sit for the model consensus now.

    Crush job at 18z. Full on blizzard conditions given the 900 mb wind speeds too.
  23. OceanStWx
    I will say that NWP is pretty terrible at choosing surface low locations. I would focus more on upper level features (which admittedly is more difficult since we have so much real time MSLP data).
  24. OceanStWx
    Curious to see what HPC does with the next update. Probably need to start thinking about sharpening the western edge.
  25. OceanStWx
    I think that's the way you have to play it right now. It is the Euro, which gives you some pause, but if this was any other model that far west and juiced it would be tossed.
