Heavy rain and wind here

When you say the weenie in Welfleet is 100 ft. Is that is ground elevation or the anemometer height? I say this b/c as long as the anemometer height is 10 m, it doesn't matter what the ground elevation is. Yes, of course ground elevation relative to surrounding elevation needs to be considered, but ppl and infrastructure are still there! If one happens to live on a ridge/bluff, that doesn't discount it. The former CHH radar/RAOB site sits on a bluff, and I recall comparing obs here to the CQX airport, Night and day! CQX is not that windy of location. HYA/FMH/PVC do much better. Here is the BID airport. Despite it's elevation, it is far enough inland and surrounding by trees that you are going to have sig differences to the shoreline. I've seen this numerous times going E on 286 to Seabrook MA. Once you get out of the trees and into the salt marshes, holy cow!

Don't look now, DMV but here comes yet another big rain blob from the Northeast! You guys are gonnabe piling up some fresh rain tallies!

I posted an ob of 50kt there a page or two ago

I was just thinking of Dec 11-12, 1992...the one @CoastalWx likes to forget b/c he got royally screwed in Brockton when so many others basked in white glory, getting their biggest snowfall in nearly 10 years! That even started w/ sig wind well before the pcpn started (reminded me of he Bliz of 78). You know you are in for it when that happens! Then a full day of R+ in ern MA, that turned to S+ predawn the next day and I got 18" in Woburn. To get that much rain first and that much snow in a single event is practically unheard of. Woonsocket RI had 7" total pcpn (20" of that snow). That is huge amount of pcpn in the NEUS for a nor'easter in a winter month. And it was not that extreme as far as low/high combo. 985 low stalled E of the Delmarva and a 1035 high in Quebec. Yet coastal flooding was epic.

Insane out right now like a legit tropical storm, 2k more outages last 15 minutes on Long Island

your posts read like click bait. 'your road is almost gone. fire island lost all power. scanner report from the bronx. etc.' before that you were complaining you 'hadn't even reached 40 yet' you're rooting for this, not analyzing anything

About to dryslot at BDL, thought I was going to having an exciting shift. Only gusting to 23 kts attm.

This was always going to be "takes its time" type storm, but in the end everything will verify. Not every storm comes in hot and heavy like the Bliz of 93. @CoastalWx take note...

I’m seeing BOS gusting to 51mph. Don’t doubt your comment, can you share where you pulled that from?

the one thing that seperates those two composites is weather or not a +iod forced upper divergence patterrn occurs into midwinter the sst signal pretty much always goes away but if the event was strong enough the upper divergent signal over the western io can stay and all years with no snow had it and all years with lots snow did not My grand theroy is that when its just the nino like pacfic forcing the n america wavetrain the cooler anamolies are centered over the se conus and a -nao tends to appear ( or more negative compared to the other compostie) and mid atl can get a good snow or two while when the western io is also forcing the wavetrain it interfers with the el nino centering the cold over the sw conus which torches the east and leaves it without snow i should note cs3 has the divergent signal emerging in nov but collapses it by jan

BOS G50KT. How is that cancel? BED G40KT, G61 KT Welfleet and on Block Island. Exactly as fcst and what the HRRR showed. Next thing you'll do is "we cancel the rain" Pfft! You do realize this is duration event and the rain does not end in ern sections until close to sunrise Tue.

I dont wanna sound to weenie but i dont think people realize how good of a look the nmme is for mid atlantic snowfall its jan feb maps look like carbon copys of the avg of the 5 strong/super nino events that produced good snow here you have the same key 3 features 1 big goa/pac low 2 hudson bay ridge 3 trough centered over the gulf coast of course details are not exactly the same but big pic it basiaclly is and its certiannly not the same as the one with no big snows in dc

Yes, and the memes and cliches on TV and social media would have been out of control!

Despite the suppressed activity, what has happened has been a bit odd. For instance, it is not often you have a TS form E of the Cabo Verde islands and dissipate in the same general area! And you have Fay that won't go away and has been moving WSW at an unusually high latitude for a few days now. Bertha at one point so ridiculously sheared w/ the low-level and mid-level displaced in the Gulf but an incredible MCC w/ an enormous amount of CGs

Huh? They 100% have been behind this entire storm.... they weren't so bad with the coastal flooding but we're slow at first, the winds well... yeah they were very behind. High winds have verified, coastal flooding has verified, jersey shore has no sand left long island beaches have no sand left. A storm this jazzed up, this early in season with so many leaves on trees is like a tree massacre.... and such a long duration is unusual.

thats not true this enso state is not "histroically unfavroable" we only have two events like it one torched and had no snow the other had a torch dec then near normal jan feb that had a blizzard in there There are defenitly more unfavorable enso states for mid atl snow

anyone slamming upton yesterday for being asleep and/or stubborn should give a little hat tip of respect. not a nuisance storm for the areas warned to flood that always flood but its basically just a september storm elsewhere right?

I was gonna say still mostly in the 40s here for gusts, wind was stronger early saturday morning. I guess we'll see if the high wind warning was justified as the night goes on

I keep seeing people talk about the 2015 - 2016 record El Nino and how the winter of 2015 - 2016 was so horrible. I sure as heck don't remember anyone complaining about the 27.5 inches of snow Central Park got in one storm.

because 1983 had literally the same setup and produced a big mid atlantic snowstorm?

looks peaceful
