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

Holy mother of god. gotta be at least 2-3 per, right now.
Models were off with this heavy stuff skirting south of CT
This is it. 20" incoming
Gotta be close to 11 now
Not gonna be running today
Did you just wake up? You like night storms but you sleep through them? Not that we're anywhere close to over, we just getting started
The wind is going nuts but the wet consistency of the snow is keeping it from insanely drifting like weve seen in other blizzards Pretty uniform out there, quite easy to measure actually. It's caking up on top of flat surfaces and not cleanly blowing off like you see with dry powdery storms.
