We were very respectful around the glacier knowing that it’s a potentially volatile area. Pictures don’t do justice to the size and danger. Today was a lazy day around Jasper. Got down into the 30’s last night so no hurry getting up, and then opted for a coffee house latte and pastries in town over the traditional cowboy coffee and scrambled egg burritos at the campsite. Walked the town a bit and checked out the cool railroad station, then hit up the tram to the near summit of Whistler’s Mountain (not to be confused with the biggie outside Vancouver). Hiked the final kilometer to the summit and had a late lunch and beer back at the tram. Really congratulating you, and I am very happy you had such a good time up there in AB! Love the snow and ice in August! And the 33 degree waters! I would have jumped in like a fool - and probably made the Albertan news cycle for sure! If it is like this in August I wonder what that place is like in deep Winter! Probably meters of wind driven snow and temps in the negative 30s and 40s! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 @dtk or someone else with knowledge…has the GFS changed their land surface model in some way? I know it’s been hot in many places, but the GFS has been putting out stupid crazy temps that are not verifying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Welp, as I update my address in a million other places, might as well do it here. The location in my bio has officially been changed to Washington D.C. Yikes. Goodbye snow! I'll never see you again. 6 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino16 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I got absolutely soaked on the way to weather analysis, and was super cold. Fun seeing how all the moisture came from the gulf in that round pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed its minor. Holding onto to the division gets alot more daunting without Felix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I got absolutely soaked on the way to weather analysis, and was super cold. Fun seeing how all the moisture came from the gulf in that round pattern.Looking at the mid level maps a few days ago it almost looked like some remnant spin from Hilary ejected through the northern Plains and through the mid-Atlantic. I didn’t see it mentioned anywhere, so I figured it wasn’t quite that simple. Still felt quite tropical yesterday and there’s clearly humidity in the air today (though I actually like this stuff and would take it over a dry pattern any day, unless I was in the desert and expected it).

Jebman Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 It hit 105 degrees Saturday. Today, Sunday, it is forecast to top out at 107 degrees again. This stuff is becoming routine. The well ran out of water twice in the past two weeks. This flash drought is getting BAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some discussion about the land surface being a problem, but it looked like it was only in the long range. It wasn’t.

WxUSAF Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 ^thanks. Glad I wasn’t going crazy. It’s been putting out temps for next weekend and beyond that would probably challenge all time highs in the Plains and Midwest. In September… I don’t doubt it will be well AN, but it’s ridiculous.

Dont visit Texas right now. It's Hellageddon down here. I don’t want that, but I rely on summer for stagnant airmasses and light wind with some humidity…it’s ideal for shooting three pointers (and even some from the logo if the conditions are truly ripe). This summer has really been more like a late Spring/early Fall. It has been warm periodically, but nothing noteworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's setting up for a cool autumn with breathtaking foliages then a frigid winter laden with snow after snow after snow after snow after snow. You're going to get so much of it that you're gonna be TIRED of snow, yet it will just keep on smashing the Mid Atlantic completely into wintry, frigid, Siberian smithereens. It will snow deep, you will dig it with a patented Jebman Shovel, only to have stiff northerly breezes pile it right back on your driveway, and you'll bounce out of bed the next frigid morning to find your car drifted in but good, in a five foot drift, of hard packed snow. Its gonna happen a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
