  1. There is a reason why stronger la nina climo isn't exactly littered with high-end east coast events....and the few that do exist are in the first half. Hey, this beats the hell out of January.
  2. Almost always happens....like I said, the captures, stalls, crawls in the medium and longer range end up as thumps in the shorter range.
  3. Yes, if we see that widespread, then tip of the cap....but I have reservations on that, aside from a band.
  4. Exactly. 12" is a major storm...memorable. But not upper tier...all I am saying.
  5. Well...exactly....if you have a ton of 12"+ events, how anomalous is it?
  6. Steve, 1'+ is not a blockbuster around here....wouldn't sniff top 20. 20" is when we can talk....I'm not saying it isn't a memorable, great event...but blockbuster is upper tier, historic.
  7. The arctic airmass vacates.....love how the other system blocks and delays the storm, but the arctic air just pulls a Houdini and vanishes right through everything.
  8. Even during a blocked flow...you still get the interference. Pacific state and flow make it difficult.
  9. This is partly why you don't get blockbusters in stronger la nina events....splattering of PAC waves everywhere, so they manage to interfere with one another just enough.
  10. I was saying earlier...this is akin to one of the post ERC hurricanes.....as it approaches, the cat 4-5 winds go "poof", as the circulation becomes large and ragged, and the weenies start to focus on the areal coverage of surge and cat 1-2 winds. Same thing here.....
  11. Agreed....the "no blockbuster in the second half of a mod or strong nina" rule looks to stand.
  12. You see it time and time again....everyone talks up how slowly it moves...capture this, and cut off that....crawl over there....then as we get near the event...."nice thump".....
  13. I like it....I'd love it if the ULL didn't stretch from Raliegh, NC to MHT.
  14. Its a nice thump, but not much sign of the "crawling, stalling, etc"....looks like a pretty ordinary slug that sweeps through.
