That got me thinking that I would really enjoy tasting your "bad" hops from 2010. :)<br /><br />WxWatcher, thanks bro. I am looking forward to your full on return to the blogger world.

You really know how to raise the bar to us bloggers. :o) <br /><br />We moved over Christmas break, so I've been "down for maintenence" for a couple of weeks. I hope to get my summary up soon!

In 2010 year we picked about two weeks later than we did in 2009. They 2010 hops matured late, which I assume had something to do with all the stress they went through in July. So far, I’ve made 4 batches of beer from the 2010 hops and they have quite a bit less punch than the 2009 hops and are lacking in aroma.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17298455257489535944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796654132557410922.post-63231091581681499722011-01-06T21:52:28.708-06:002011-01-06T21:52:28.708-06:00Scott, thanks for commenting.

I will be taking a look at the lrcweather blog entry you mentioned and tossing the temps into a graph. I look forward to my findings.<br /><br />Lee, thank you for reading it. We certainly did get soaked this past July. Just two years ago we had an extreme precipitation total in June which helped us top 40 inches for that year. Quite similar to our spike in July. Question for you, do you note when your hops start 'becoming hops' each growing season? I think it would be fun to keep track of that and compare it to recent weather and climate trends. <br /><br />Bob, thanks! Your assumption is right on. I also enjoy re-reading past blog postings to spark my memory. No better way to relive the past year, as I have a horrible memory. Regarding the LRC, knowing that a system is coming weeks in advance puts an entirely knew perspective on watching it evolve. Which has been very surprising and something I am getting a great kick out of lately. As Jeremy at WeatherWatch 12 says, "follow along for a year" and then form an opinion. :)Josh Hermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10809581468183556700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796654132557410922.post-6966204339436633272011-01-06T10:54:45.252-06:002011-01-06T10:54:45.252-06:00The year is review extracts (I assume from your da...The year is review extracts (I assume from your daily WX notes) really presented a nice capsule of what went on in your area. Thanks. I’m going to focus on the LCR thingy a bit more. I guess what takes to air out of me is the possibility of “knowing” what the weather may bring in the near future.

You might better see the pattern via the similar trends of rises and falls. <br /><br />Just food for thought.lrcweathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796654132557410922.post-47831662493395821092011-01-03T23:08:58.251-06:002011-01-03T23:08:58.251-06:00Josh - it is great to watch the learning process. ...Josh - it is great to watch the learning process. It is very similar to how over the years I learned it. In fact, I took the path of surface analysis in my own independent study. It is tough. When dealing with one independent reporting station, utilizing the LRC can be deceptive. I found that there are times it is easy to spot at the surface, but only if you are very near one of the longwaves. Otherwise, it can be tough. You are on the right path...keep researching. Expand your knowledge of other circulation patterns...it will help. -Scottlrcweathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796654132557410922.post-23435516771991091812011-01-03T20:42:46.283-06:002011-01-03T20:42:46.283-06:00D, a 26" snow depth is unheard of around here...D, a 26" snow depth is unheard of around here.
