mattie g Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I love how the guesses in the snowfall contest thread fluctuate in response the most recent long-range runs/discussions. If you were to do an analysis of the guesses and compare them to 24 hours worth of ensemble runs, you'd probably see a pretty close correlation between low guesses and bad ensemble looks/analysis and high guesses and good ensemble looks/analysis.

This happens every year, people edit up and down week-to-week based on model runs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, thanks for the info!! Unfortunately it's at the peak around 4AM, but I might try to drag myself out of bed to check it out anyhow. Hopefully will be cleared out mostly by then. I read that it's not "total", but still like 97%. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourseasons Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 If anyone's awake and unencumbered by cloud cover, the eclipse is well-worth looking at. Even with the light pollution I can see the Seven Sisters without need for binoculars, and for a time they were sitting right next to the moon. Edit: right when it's about to hit 97% a thin band of high clouds is getting ready to obscure it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Dragged myself out of bed a bit after 4AM for the partial lunar eclipse. A little later than I cared to, as the peak occurred a little before this photo I took. But still worked out! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But here's mine! Very nice! Interesting how yours has a "rotated" perspective from mine. Another interesting thing I noticed is how there is a nearly straight line where the penumbral shadow ended (where it gets very bright white at the edge).

WinterWxLuvr Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Good thing the national media alerted the whole country to the storm that was gonna totally disrupt the holiday. Good idea to do it about 10 days prior also. Everyone knows how reliable weather models and forecasting is 10 days out. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this on several media outlets and was thinking WTF, that’s a long way away to make such a bold prediction. I think one was titled “massive storm to affect holiday travel” and I know it was in one of the DC outlets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were still talking about all these weather disruptions last night on NBC nightly news and I just can’t figure out what they’re talking about lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may have been a factor. Also mine was just my phone held up to eyepiece…so I may have been holding it at an improper angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows how reliable weather models and forecasting is 10 days out. my wife was worrying about our son's flight home from college being disrupted on Tuesday due to the "massive storm" a few days back and I said..."um, what"? And it took a minute to drill down to where that information was bubbling up from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Any Wheel of Time readers on here? I got bogged down around book 7 or 8 and never finished the series (other than reading Wikipedia to see how it ended up). But the Amazon series dropped today - first three episodes anyway. Guess I will give it a watch to see how they tackled the adaptation at the outset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I just finished Book 1 yesterday. Liked it but didn’t love it. Not sure I want to dive into the next. I started the first 20 mins of episode 1 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
