Weatherman 523 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 My new weather blog is live. I'm calling it "Chasing Snow". I've published it's first entry. You can access it via the redirect in the Weather category, or the tab at the top navigation bar. There's also a direct page URL for weather-related content: http://www.northeastmountainsports.com/weather/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonballer 639 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 FYI your "chasing snow" hyperlink above redirects to a hiking report about Mt. Toby. And the full link redirects to the 2017-18 Gathering thread. I haven't quite found the actual weather blog yet, but I look forward to seeing it in action! This should be a draw for sure.

What rookie built it?!?!? Status update: That chasing snow link works fine in my browser. Shows as a broken link in the iOS app. Goes to Mt Tom as reported in Android. Makes me ANGRY! The second link works fine in my browser and iOS app, but is busted in Android. Tickets are outbound to the vendor. Angry, angry tickets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weatherman 523 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 From the Android app you can browse to it using the menu and going to the link under the new Weather category. I tested it and it works on the beta version of the app that I have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weatherman 523 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Someone suggested creating a thread per blog post. Do people think that would be too verbose? That is my first thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BumpOut 70 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Someone suggested creating a thread per blog post. Do people think that would be too verbose? That is my first thought.Call me "someone", but my thought is that people will want to discuss these blogs in the forum. I think it will be a highly popular feature. All other topics have been discussed ad-nauseam and tend to get stale. The weather is always changing, and each weather system is unique, which lends itself to new and relevant discussions.

Flying Yeti 152 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Being a weather weenie I would love to discuss it in the forums. Some set ups favor certain mountains, etc. Edited September 22, 2017 by Flying Yeti Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Weatherman 523 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Based on a request from @Los I am to draft a post on the impacts of climate change on skiing in the Northeast. Braces yourselves. It's publication may be interrupted if anything interesting happens in the weather world, but it looks pretty boring out there for a while. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Weatherman 523 Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Big announcement. Sort of. Instead of posting to the hard to find blog, I am going to be making future posts as a dedicated thread in the forum. You can filter for them using the "chasing snow" tag. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StraightSkis 6 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 This is awesome and I like the per event idea. I love looking at these charts but I have no idea what they are saying. With some effort and studying could I become of a novice at reading NOAA charts and see if snow is coming? I have an engineering background and I think I could give a crash course in some areas to most people. Is that feasible with weather? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've thought a bit about how to make these charts more accessible. By far the most confusing chart you'll see in my posts are the Skew-T. There's just a whole lot going on in the diagram, but they are super useful. It takes hours to learn whats going on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
