the Gore Mtn. weather report and the old man have returned!
the return of familiar things brings comfort. as the full corn moon waxs in a clear sky, temps here just dropped below 40. my furnance just kicked on. for the first time in months we have some things we've been doing without. Monday night football, shorter days, longer nights, cooler temps and lots of posting on the boards. this is great as ski season excitement is starting to breakout. the pictures in the " name that trail " threads have lit up the boards like a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition on a junior high school bus. well done HPD and Matt.
now as a sure sign of the times, the Gore Mtn weather thread and the old man have returned!!!
Welcome back to both, especially to Bret Favre. he played well tonight.
Another interesting though disappointing weather observation. the night sky here in the ADKs is NOTHING like the view at Cherry Springs Dark Sky Park in Pennsylvania. I've even stopped alongside Cascade lakes late at night in years past hoping for a stellar view. it didn't happen. i thought there would be great starscapes due to the lack of civilization. Alas, it seems air pollution has more than invaded this great wilderness. believe it or not, it used to be when i returned home from trips i could smell the cleaner air here as soon as i stepped out of the car. now the last 3-4 years that difference is no longer discernable. sad. disappointing.
