Cold Rain Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I'll be up for the Euro and maybe the 06z GFS. (doubt I'll even look at the 06z GFS, but I might be up then) For a rainstorm?? Jshetley will be proud of you man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 For a rainstorm?? Jshetley will be proud of you man! I'd stay up for the Euro to see if we're going to get a 5-knot gust the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 With all seriousness, being a Sat night and all, is anyone really staying up for the Euro run tonight? I guess it may depend on the GFS ? If it looked good and snowy, we could ride that high to the Euro!? Definitely some people staying up for the Euro tonight guaranteed. I won't, though. I'm getting old and can't do it anymore it ruins my whole day the next day...wake up late...don't get anything done...all my meals are off...I'm confused and get lost easily in public places, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Feels too early to be anxiously watching anyway. Go outside and check out the meteor shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't you love to get the completed Euro by midnight? I'm already in my own time zone . So, I already get it by midnight. I can assure you that it is a fantastic feeling.

metalicwx366 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Nice! 4-6 inches of snow for my backyard and temperatures of 7 degrees. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceagewhereartthou Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Do you live in GA? Because it has been cooler than forecast most of the last 10 days in upstate SC. Easley. I'm using GSP as my reference point, and I just remember week before last was warm with most days being above forecast. Last week was much closer. But I know yesterday forecast was for 60 or 61 and it was 64. Today forecast was for 63 and it made it to 68. In my long-term observations, these winter warm-up often verify warmer than anticipated and linger a few more days than anticipated. Another benefit of being in the Lee.

Would likely be at least a 200 year or so record at AYS! That's funny. The two Peppermint Patties posted simultaneously! Great minds think alike.

jburns Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I'm going to toss the GFS because it doesn't show what I want. We are still going back and forth between steps two and three. 2. Models that do not agree are outliers. 3. A model that shows a good hit can not, by definition, be an outlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A model that shows a good hit can not, by definition, be an outlier. This is true. I'm going to mix the GFS and the Parallel GFS, throw in some magical cold that comes in by magical "dynamics", and we're going to be golden! Winter Storm Almost is a go!

ILMRoss Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Don't know if yall have peeked on Twitter, but "meteorological films" are trending worldwide and meteorologists from across the country are tweeting weather influenced films. It's hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Was outside for about 30 mins, saw 2 shooting stars, kind of in the SE quadrant of the sky. I wished for a snowstorm between now and New Years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Just got back from Beacon Heights off the parkway. What an incredible night. I saw over 100 meteor streaks, 7 large ones just on my trip home (not even counting the ones I saw while up on the cliff). Here is one of the better shots I got from tonight..

WxBlue Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Those are lovely shots, Hvward! What were the settings? Here are my shots from last few hours. Tonight was my first attempt at astrophotography using my mom's Canon and I didn't get much outside one faint meteor and a plane due to luck of my camera's placement. Nevertheless, I had a blast while seeing over 50 meteors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless, I had a blast while seeing over 50 meteors Thanks man, I just got a new Nikon D7100 but the key is to have a lens that can go to f 2.8 or lower. I used my tokina 11-16mm and did long exposure shots with a handheld remote. They were both around 25 sec exposures with the iso set to 3200 and the f stop at 2.8. Yours look good too man, what lens did you use and what iso setting were you on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours look good too man, what lens did you use and what iso setting were you on? It's my mom's Canon EOS Rebel T3 with 18-55 mm lens. I had light from street lamp behind a house to my back so I was able to go as low as 400 (although those shots were at 800 and at 18-20 mm range) and managed f stop of 3.5 (I knew about 2.8< was good, but I couldn't get lower on Canon). The one with trees was at 10 seconds, while the one with meteor and plane were at 25 seconds. Considering what I had to use, I was impressed with my shots since it was my first attempt at night skies but I could always get better for even more epic WNC night skies.

Shawn Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Im not patient enough for the meteors tonight. Screw the 60-120 or whatever the hell they called for. I just went out, saw my breath.. in my pajamas.. waited about 1 min.. saw nothing.. and left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really a trial and error thing. The street light I bet really effected a few shots. That is why I had to get behind a rock up their because the city lights (and there wasn't much) keep flaring out my photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
