snowman21 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Was wondering how often we get 60+ days in January. Here are the last ten at BDL, BOS, PVD, and ORH.

MaineJayhawk Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The sun protected portion of my driveway is still covered with a dusting of snow tonight. Yup. Some shaded areas are still white here. It hit 40F and then the clouds rolled in. 60F in SNE?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Let me know next time and you'll drink for free! I gave 24h notice. :wink: I may be back at the end of feb to do my final field observations. Great beer by the way. Good pulled pork sand as well.

dryslot Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Yup. Some shaded areas are still white here. It hit 40F and then the clouds rolled in. 60F in SNE?? We held on to most all of it, The sun only made a breif appearance here, We went to 34F briefly then dropped back to 32 most of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheetah440 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 We use to call them Jello motors HA! I never had one so can only go by the old footage and articles. Here's a nice site with some good write ups and great vintage pics and restorations of all makes and models http://www.vintagesledders.com/home/91-jlo-a-go-go-part-2 All the old engines struggled until about the late 70's early 80's. Mikuni carbs helped quite a bit IMO. Then LC changed the game forever. I think I've lost about 2-3yrs off my life messing around in 0-10f with the Walbro WD carbs. Finally gave up and converted my old cats to Mikuni. Another cool site, the former Arctic Cat racing team "The Widowmakers". I actually had Everet Regal rebuild a few engines for me 10 yrs ago. A couple El Tigre FA 500's and my Cheetah Kawi 440. I spent a bunch of hours on the phone with him, what a great guy he was, passed away this summer. http://widowmakers.edrcreations.com/page6.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only about an hour from our place in Ogunquit so maybe an afternoon trip in the spring. Thanks for the tip. those Oly's were great, neighbors had them, fun to ride and I do remember being a b**ch to start. Especially when you're 12.

Good pulled pork sand as well. That is a combo I often enjoy there. They smoke all their meats in house! I do occasional work for them so I often have a bar credit to use when I have friends in town. Just pm me and let me know. Maybe we'll actually have snow on the ground then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheetah440 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Some great classics at the museum look at those Rupps. Awesome. neighbor had a Magnum 440 that used to haul ass. Kinda tippy though. Question: What is the closest decent riding to Southern Maine: York-OGT-Wells area? I've never taken my sleds up there but always think about it. Anything out of Berwick? Is Sanford worth it? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Sanford worth it? thx Those areas don't see much snow, North Berwick maybe, You need to get further NW, Towards Waterboro, Standish area heading towards Seabago Lake, West is best in a normal winter....

Alpha5 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 +23 at ORH today, nevermind the +10-15 I thought would occur but +23 Incredible. What makes it worse is that the past 2 winters featured so much snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman21 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 What makes it worse is that the past 2 winters featured so much snow. I told myself that after last January if we got zero snow for the next three Januarys I would not complain. Guess Mother Nature is gonna hold me to that.

Organizing Low Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 well i'm all packed and ready to move to vermont tomorrow. its going to be wierd to not have to cheer for last minute NW trends on SNE coastal storms.....i should be able to at least get scraps instead of blowing cirrus....and i'm the type of guy that is fine with scraps as long as its building the pack. its also going to be wierd to enter the world of SW flow events, something we didnt get here maybe only very rarely (it was cutter or NE wind).

You must have gotten several SW flow events in '07-'08. How'd you guys do on 2/13/08? Proba good SWFE up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
