looks like BS to me, prob from social. all the reports around there are 24-26" from 2-3hrs ago. And the radar really let up over them recently. I could see around 30" coming in but 16" more than the surround obs just a couple hrs later is BS and getting tossed far and wide unless there are other supporting obs.
still..massive L for that model in the mid-range taking it OTS and weak for days and days and only finally did it catch on and then slowly ticked NW closer to the benchmark.
GFS/GEM had this as a big hit Tuesday, lost it that 00Z run then it was mostly back after that.
did we ever clear up the fact that it has to be a total of 3 hours not necessarily consecutive? I remember that was a controversy during the Blizzard of 2005 or 2006 i cant remember. Is it consecutive or total, the wording on some of the definitions was never clear
Yeah that Mar 7-8th 2018 insane storm, had a CG strike very close by while i was outside. Felt like a summertime convective clap, not just a distance rumble
we've had thundersnow around here at least 5-6 storms that i can think of. Feb 2001, Feb 2003, Feb 2013, Feb 2017, Mar 2018. I missed one of those. I could be forgetting others but those i know for sure.
Here's the radar painful to look at....another one where we watched Middlesex and New London get smoked. Missed it by 10-15 miles
