HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hey Dryslot how is the riding in maine? Did you get out locally at all this year? I drove from N NH through VT and back to Greenfield this past weekend and there is not much snow outside of the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hey Dryslot how is the riding in maine? Mtns and Northern Maine have been real good, Great base and they have seen light snows with up slope and a few weaker systems moving thru that region, Southern part of the state has been fair to poor for lack of snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twice, Before we lost most of our snow, The base around here is 2" in spots that's it, We have missed on what little snow we have had for the most part in my area, Portland has seen more then i have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Yeah, it's called a thermostat. My wife and I (and my son) are not fans of heat so we just set the thermostat at 50° in the upstairs where our bedrooms are and it makes for great sleeping temps around 52-55°. The rest of the house is set at 58° Down to 1° this morning. I was hoping for zero, but I'll take it. Maybe I'll tick down a degree for my 0700 ob? I actually made it to 0° by 0700. That ties my low for the winter...maybe we can do better tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 No radiational cooling in these windy conditions.I actually radiated a bit this morning. After the 4am squall we cleared out and stayed under 3mph. Bit of a surprise here on the hillside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove from N NH through VT and back to Greenfield this past weekend and there is not much snow outside of the mountains. Honestly i have not ridden locally in 2 years. Ive only ridden once in the NEK this season. It was pretty good but that was 3 weeks ago. Before the Torch. The warm up really killed the snowmobiling in the southern areas. Vermont is getting the screw job for the second season in a row. the last 4 winters 1 has been good. the rest have been poor or So so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 To each his own, but no thanks. My gf would kill me. It's already hard enough to convince her of 68F. You save a little energy, but you use up quite a bit when you get the temp back up during the daytime. Every object in the house gets down to the 50s so it takes while to get the heat transferred through them.Now you are in my professional reign and you are exactly right. Folks forget about surface area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every object in the house gets down to the 50s so it takes while to get the heat transferred through them. We actually keep the thermostat set the same day and night so no worries about using extra energy to heat things up again. We have a couple of rooms that we close off so when the heat does kick on, it really warms up those rooms. Otherwise, we let the sun do the daytime heating. Looks like it's up to 7° out there already. We're really baking today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And lmao no I don't pay the heating bill but I make sure to keep the room as insulated from the rest of the house as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 MOS backed off on the high temp forecast here....MAV has 9F for a high and MET has 12F. I think MAV might have actually gone too cold. I'd probably split the difference. Yesterday morning they were 14F and 13F for today's forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Those are some nice temps up in Maine. They make our temps down in SNE look down right mild! What interesting about those Maine temps is that Big Black River and Escourt Station are not that far apart but their temps are 17 degrees apart!

OSUmetstud Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 had a 5/11 split yesterday. The wind was wicked...the wind chill was about -10F on average the whole day. We hit -15F in BUF and -17F at Niagara Falls...I'd imagine some of the lowest values if not the lowest since Jan 04. The people were complaining about the schools not being closed for the kids...they tend to close around WC of -25F. You can blame that on the NWS new formula...because I wouldn't have had school in similar conditions lol. Those wind chills are about -35F in the old formula.
