All Activity

So, a nice little parenting story about this that some of you will appreciate. We took our boat out for the final time of the season yesterday and planned on cleaning it real good and basically get it ready for the winter. We had just gotten out there and are sitting in the middle of the river with the sun shining, pretty much have the river to ourselves. Wife and I had an old bottle of champagne we decided to bring along and no sooner than we pop the bottle and take our first sip do we get a call from our daughter’s preschool saying she has a fever and we have to come get her. Never freaking fails. All for some low grade fever and of course she is perfectly fine this morning. Kids, gotta love ‘em!

Now look at that list and tell the ones that would most like to relive and I bet they are Miller B.

Conisder this list: According to National Weather Service data compiled by the Boston Globe and Boston.com, here are the top ten largest recorded snowstorms in Boston history: February 17–18, 2003 – 27.6 inches: MILLER A (But I have always been VERY skeptical of that total) February 6–7, 1978 (Blizzard of '78) – 27.1 inches: MILLER B February 24–26, 1969 – 26.3 inches: MILLER B January 22–24, 2005 – 25.4 inches: MILLER B February 8–9, 2013 – 25.4 inches: MILLER B March 31–April 1, 1997 (April Fool's Day storm) – 25.3 inches: MILLER B January 26–28, 2015 – 24.9 inches: MILLER B January 25–26, 2026 (Winter Storm Fern) – 23.2 inches: MILLER A January 20–22, 1978 – 23.1 inches: MILLER A February 8–11, 1994 – 21.7 inches [1, 2, 3, 4] (OES ENHANCED) I count 3 of the top ten that are clear Miller A events.

Great post.

95 South special

Miller A Million ways to pork me

0.75 for the event..

Had 0.30" at 7 am and 63.6 degrees. Currently is 58.5/56.9 at 11:15 am with light rain and fog, another 0.20" since 7 am.

Where we at with the tornado count YTD?

0.56" event

I mean I’ll take anything dropping a foot or more lol. We’re just saying Miller Bs are typically more generous for this region.

Given our longitude, I'd much rather take my chances with "later" development...not close. The ceiling us also lower on Miller A because they are usually more progressive.

Left house and it was bright blue skies and gorgeous temps. On rt 9 and I see a wall of clouds

Dang Nola. Not many major hurricanes cross the date line

Latest HRRR as posted by @olafminesaw is a kick in the nads for the norther tier, which for some reason has been unable to catch a break since the end of July. Mean while the southern tier still set for a decent soaking. The NAM still looks much better for the NE quadrant, including Wake, but how much stock can you put in a model that is at death's door? Really impatient for the el nino southern jet stream to kick in

We’re getting a makeup for the fail we had in late June.

Enjoy the show. Wanted to get tickets, but already had bought tickets for Smashing Pumpkins tonight and my daughter came home from school for the show.

The official season of 1914 consisted of just one tropical storm (rated at 60knots with landfall around Jax Fla.) I would also note 1914 produced a devastating nor'easter on the Mid-Atlantic Coast. Image below is from Rehoboth Beach, DE. Thinking of the Great Atlantic Coastal Storm of March 1962 storm I researched a bit. The Atlantic was active in 1961 then relatively quiet in 1962 (least active since 1946.) El Nino didn't appear until 1963. Another 1962 storm, less well known to those of us in the East, was the Columbus Day Storm, the most devastating in Oregon history.

Beautiful morning with nice breeze, blue skies and cool temperatures. Overnight low of 51. Leaf color change becoming rapidly noticeable up this way. Pumpkin spice everything is everywhere. The pick your own apple orchards are hurting with many closed due to the Spring freeze.

I spit some of my coffee.

Its a risk / reward climate here. The chances of breaching 95/96 for the snowiest winter is also on the table any given year due to our proximity to the ocean (noreasters) and latitude. I can see both happening in my lifetime. In fact the snowiest winter was only 2 years prior to the latest snowfall year of 97/98

Late blooming miller Bs are great for this area. I’ll take that any day over Miller As.

59 earlier and 67 now and blue skies. Beautiful day incoming

Maybe the bad omen only applies to DMV, I have checked the data before. It didn’t look good. But there are always exceptions
