Usually by smell

The wave height sensor plays a huge role in this thing. Without it, really we just have a Chinese built, Russian traded, very heavy weather reporting machine. The problem is, the wave height sensor we have isnt calibrated in Centimeters, its calibrated in Meters, based on the fact that the Russians most likely stole it from the South China Sea, where wave heights are big. so we are trying to measure Beltsvilles tiny wave heights on a scale thats really just to big. @toast21602 pulled his hair out trying to adjust the algorithms to understand that something like .00569 M was in fact a real number and just getting it out 5 decimal places almost cost him one of his running trophies cause he almost missed a marathon.

shit I thought it was just a dirty diaper stuck to one of the sensors

wonder if Jim got the lifts inspected?

Finally got out to Blue Crew takeover. IMG_4165.mov

For this coming weekend, sure it would be neat to see them make some snow, but yeah, humidity looks high, and it doesnt look like it stays at like 27-28 degrees for very long each night. lets at least hope that cold around thanksgiving sticks around.

Hammertime

The ever elusive fried cheese ball from Rofo. i dont think any of them have them anymore, and even back when we had to find them, they were crazy hard to find. This was almost a deal breaker. We even tried to get the Russians to substitute cheese balls for Pizza, and little Caesars at that. I guess they knew it is shit pizza too.

@JFskiDan and I aren't allowed to share specific location. Sorry.

Checking out the cams in the dark, interesting to see where the blinky lights are...

I had Pizza Hut on Friday. Love their pan pizza

If it is anything like the Beltzille Buoy repair then we might be waiting a while..

Noticed they have a portable fan gun laying in wait for extra coverage at the intersection of Main St and Burma, good to see they are least preparing and have snowmaking on the radar.

Still waiting on Kunkletown weather station to go live.

I have to add some intel from the Kunk... Overnight and morning temps at the base have been consistently lower than advertised. Just sayin...

I think this was discussed. 25 x 30, all for my husband. He needs his man space

We have been trying since May to get a permit for a detached garage here. The powers that be just kept working against us. We finally got a permit last Thursday and my excavator was here Friday to begin work. Still have to finish excavating then pour some involved concrete as nothing here is flat terrain. As much as I want snow (and it is forecasted this weekend), this Braveheart clip sums up how I feel about snow holding off just a tad longer so we can get this done.

Nice work by the indy pass to step up and work to keep black mountain open for this year to find a new owner. I hope this works out for everybody involved. https://www.stormskiing.com/p/black-mountain-nh-to-remain-open?fbclid=IwAR1udRpupn36j1FButW5xSk6J5zke6ds6KNRrjWhzfa7tblnTR-PbYWbEy0

Stop

So this guy thinks we could see some cold by thanksgiving. https://arcfieldweather.com/blog/2023/11/13/230-pm-a-more-active-weather-pattern-and-a-cold-air-outbreak-sweeps-across-much-of-the-nation-next-weekjust-in-time-for-thanksgiving- dayteleconnection-indices-support-change-to-cold-idea?fbclid=IwAR11f0AGlKS0hSt0TMoUdaYqoT9Jw6v_7-nRlVVl6SGi6WNAYq2w-FPCjB0 doesnt really say snowmaking cold, but one can always hope. Still thinking its gonna be december before we are skiing at blue though.
