hooralph Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I'll take whatever we get this winter, but I am looking forward to any picturesque snow we get. We moved this fall and are right by Riverside Park... there are many Jebwalks in my future and I'll be amping my snow photography game again. We also have a good line of sight across multiple blocks that will allow me to estimate visibility with precision. So bring (whatever) on... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve always been way more favored for snow than our area. Been pointed out many times how they can benefit from marginal setups and late-developers like this one seems to be. The only real setup where we’re favored are mod-strong suppressed El Niño’s like 15-16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we only average 20-25" and are near sea level plus the background warming state. Blocking has also been mostly absent which is critical for anyone south of 41N. There's been years where we've gotten basically nothing like the early & late 90s and 80s. Years like 2010-11 and multiple snowy years from 2000-2018 are anomalies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like saying someone in Florida is jealous of NYC because of how much snow NYC gets. C'mon now LOL Of course Florida isn't jealous of NYC for weather reasons anyway. I guess he doesn't like how much better our springs and summers are and we dont get a "mud season" like New England gets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossbowftw3 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 The mention of Jonas in the coastal thread reminded me to pull this up. Probably the most pain I've ever felt from a snowstorm. You guys definitely reaped the benefits though. A gradient of 40 miles shut me out of over 8" and two hours shut me out from almost 30" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No in my post I said we dont have a mud season like New England does, and it makes their springs worthless. I'd rather be outside doing planting rather than being inside watching it rain. Our climate is better than New England's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibertyBell Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 But all I ask is that there be clear skies for this super conjunction coming up between Jupiter and Saturn. I'm not clear on the exact date they'll be closest...I think it's December 21? Nikon made a new superzoom camera that actually seems to be good at taking deep space pics as well as planetary images. I found a review site about it: The Moon and Mars: https://jzholloway.wordpress.com/2020/09/06/moon-mars-conjunction/ Pleaides star cluster https://jzholloway.wordpress.com/2020/09/24/the-pleiades-star-cluster-m45/ Lyra starfield https://jzholloway.wordpress.com/2020/07/26/vega-lyra-7-18-2020/ The 50mm 10 sec shot at ISO 6400 is really good (even if the noise is a little high)- check it out! added: images of M42 Orion Nebula taken with the P950 (note these were not stacked) https://jzholloway.wordpress.com/2020/11/09/m42-the-orion-nebula/ at the bottom of that post.

I notice them getting closer every evening but also sunset around the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, fortunately this is the earliest sunset can get around here, I was told to look right after sunset, since they're both very bright it should be easy to see them right after.

LibertyBell Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Looks like the best time to look is 45 min after sunset in the western sky and the thin crescent moon will be joining them: https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/great-jupiter-saturn-conjunction-dec-21-2020 https://earthsky.org/tonight/young-moon-to-swing-by-jupiter-saturn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
