BOMBS AWAY!

Let the grids do the talking... ANOTHER WEENIE SNOWMAP! HRRR from 00z to 12z. Cutback bigtime with not as much W expansion. (rgem too) Expect ML fronto magic with amounts higher than modeled Only question left IMHO is where it sets-up.

A weenie map to feast upon! 00z HRRR L Looks pretty

Zeus is in the house. Becoming clearer that a moderate event will unfold. Where? how much? minor details. Come March or in the prolific snow years of yesteryear this type event would likely only garner a dozen posts or so. First one is big regradless of amounts.

The potential is there! Compared to where the pattern was to where it is going forth, dollar to dime bet it's an improvement. Any snow is good snow! As the models turn (should be a mid-day soap on TV) THIS IS NOT THE EVENT TO BASE WINTER ON.

I second the concept. Red Tag only based on science thread. Many times one gets lost (Atleast I do) in the quagmire of frivilous posts.

Easy to state as it is NOWCAST. But the little bugger always had the potentail to overachive. It snowed as far S as Pensicola FL. When all is said and done the hills of VA. WV. will find a jack.

NEXT 48hrs HRRR is shifting a bit further N. A butterfly fart "could, might, possibly" bring accumulating snow into coastal CT most of RI and E. MA.

It's a step to "normal" and something to track. Record High temps down here...snooze. Expect changes run to run, I refuse to fall into the trap of predicting on a meso scale until it's actually snowing up there with greater model agreement.

Happy New Year to all. Looking into the crystal ball. Baby steps I say baby steps, I'll be looking at the slow lowering of HGTS to the SE Ridge. Get that "modelled" cutter or crapper to pass open the gates to the cold thus a reallign to the overall wave pattern. Looks like a volitale pattern that the OP models have yet to sniff out. A patern change looks to be in the making.

It's amazing to watch the emotional response(s) on the run to run model output. Just my 2 cents, forget about the OP and follow the ENS. The pattern will flip the question is "when" and for "how long" ? Winter could and probably will be determined by a stretch of 2 or 3 weeks throw in a KU during that timeframe and everyone is satisfied. Living in the northern clims atleast most of you have a chance of experiencing snow, below zero temps, admittedly what else is there to live for...LOL. Just hang in there cause you get what you get it's not controlled and it will change. A volitile, unpredictable atmosphere with an extreme event not out of the realm of the possible

Extreme events, huge swings in temp and precip. Piece the dynamic together perfectly not far fetched to experience 80F one given day and a 3ft snowbomb the next. We've already seen it, and will become more severe into the future. I miss New England, but I moved planning on having beachfront property surrounded by water! LOL

No complaining. It was 85F here today

Many members go way back, back before forums. Newsfeed, I think under the title ne.weather that goes back to the 90's. "Time waits for no-one! No-one waits for me." The Rolling Stones.

Blast from the past!

So am I from a thousand miles away. Whatever, just thinking of those who will be directly effected. Carry on...

Compact sukka

I will never understand the wanting of destruction. Considering it doesn't directly effect self I guess that's OK. I think a gamechanger would be if you had to dish out money for repairs after you've watched everything turn to splinters and wash into the Ocean.

Over or Under: PEAK GUST 100mph. U 90mph. O Somewhere along Coastal RI an ASOS will record a gust in the 90+ range. Sustained winds in the 50-60mph realm seems like a safe forecast. GRIDS have LF in the CT/RI area give or take 10 miles.

Having learned the hard way, only took 1 time (six days but had a pool) at the old house so I bought a Generac. I'm planning on going solar, off the grid design at the new place "IF" I live long enough...

Check out the sub regional sector, ie., True Color COD satellite. Not only beautiful from a technology perspective but meteorological view. One could write a book on what it shows.

A simple garden variety "winter" Noreaster has more impact then Henri will have. I'm not buying the hype. If you don't experience the above roar of the wind whistle is it really a hurricane? The whistle to the wind is scary because you don't even hear the trees crashing all around. Collapsing thunderstorms around here have more punch. A CT/RI landfall. Still thinking flooding will be the headliner.

Beware of the RFQ. Still to far out to delve into specifics, Que Wiz? Moisture goes left winds go right, General rule of thumb. Anyone remember Carol? (not I, 1953 was before my days) vaguely remember Donna. The local river swelled topping the gas station on Union St, exit 17. Bob was like yesterday, went sightseeing ended up near the CG Academy. A 15 foot surge demarked on a dock-house. Be careful what you wish for.

FLOODING RAIN. Can't stress enough this will be the most damaging aspect to this event. I'm jealous, moved down here for just what y'all are going to experience. I've had my days and the "biggy" has yet to hit. Not if but when. So I live vicariously once again...

Fun times up there! When it comes to thunderstorms I'm living in the right place. Believe or not I was struck by a bolt last August. Just one of so many trips to the hospital. Nice squall line, watch the marine layer knock'em down...down here if you get under one of these sea breeze convergence storms WoW. Tower goes up, huge billowing mushroom and then watch them collapse. Always prolific lightning. East coast West coast. I'm right in the middle. Rainy season begins this weekend...oh joy, I'll be watching from inside.
