Not really sure. It smelled like plastic burning or something even worse. Sorry to hear Wiz. It’s never easy watching a loved one go through it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of, if not probably the worst part of life (at least on an individual level). Maybe in the grand scheme of things there are worse but this definitely sucks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be two of us in the minority on this however, I do like this song and really enjoy Rick Beato's breakdown of it. If you're unfamiliar with his channel and enjoy music, it's definitely worth checking out: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 just back from ice skating on a local pond. Nice black ice. Bunch of kids playing hockey. Nice. Temps stayed a little cooler than forecast and keep the ice perfect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See through, clear black ice is the best! 3”+ thick you could drive a car on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radarman Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 jelly I was out on the ice at several places the last few days, but it wasn't skatable. Couldn't find a pond that was still open when it snowed. Maybe the Oxbow might have been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 What a horrific week. My mom passed away early Tuesday morning (though there is some solace in that it was in her sleep...it was getting to the point where she was starting to get uncomfortable with not being able to breathe) and then not even 24 hours later, the step-mom to my older siblings and who was essentially like a second mom to my and my two younger siblings passed away too. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrific for sure, not one but two huge losses. May you stay strong through this trial. The bolded reminded me of my mom, years ago. At age 55 she was diagnosed with emphysema, thanks to 40 years of 2-3 packs/day. She quit cold turkey, but over the next 15 years her lung function gradually failed, the final 18 months on O2 24/7. In the last months she felt that she could never get a full breath of air. Her two non-smoking sisters lived into their 90s. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunafish Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Interesting / sad statistic I realized today: I take the obs for PWM; new snowfall is called in every 6 hours. This season, I have more Trace observations (22) than I do inches of snow (19"). The 19" represent 15 observations of measurable SN. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those daily cocorahs obs, or another, more frequent increment? I've done my daily obs at 9 PM since moving to Fort Kent in 1/1/76, and the above numbers are for those 24-hour periods. (Prior to that, at NNJ and BGR, I observed at midnight. Given my forester job's schedule demanding wake-up at 5-5:30, I moved the obs time in favor of more sleep.) When I joined cocorahs in August of 2009, I merely added the 7 AM obs, not wishing to abandon 33 years of the evening obs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
