That's my thought. I'm liking my call of 20" ±2" for MBY but I'd like to see where that band sets up (as I know everyone would!).

I kinda like the color enhanced WV loop: http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/eaus/flash-wv.html It makes the clouds pop....

I have concerns of us winding up between the two bands. We still do well, but we'll have to see how things setup once everything gets going.

I wish there was a way that access could be limited to members at times like this. There are 80+ people using this particular forum at the time and the majority are guests. It would certainly help lighten the load.

I actually never made it to the CT coast because I didn't think the wave action would be that good. We went to Hull, a place I had never been before, and it turned out to be great place to see the ocean swells and huge waves crashing right on the sea wall. This was the first real big storm that happened after I got out of college and I remember everyone looking to me for info and I spent a lot of time gathering data in the pre-Internet days (even though I went to school for Met I've always worked in the IT business). I had an old radio fax machine that I dusted off so I could get charts. I was up late on Saturday looking at data and my brother came home from work and wanted to do some storm chasing so we headed out. It was great storm to chase....better than the March '93 storm I think.

I couldn't see the new and improved version of this, but I was living in Somers, CT around 300' at the time and this truely had the greatest gradient I've seen. I had 3.2" by the time everything was done but just a few miles east of me there was 12-14" around 900'. The amounts rose dramatically from there in Union, CT and I remember measuring 32-35" in the morning as my brother and I drove to the coast to check out the waves there. I'd have to check my weather record but I thought I had measured around 37" in Union when we were driving back home in the afternoon. I rank this as one of my favorite storms even though I got screwed at my house.
