    here's a google maps shot of the sheraton (labled A) and the candy-cane pained tower(s) directly behind the hotel.

    yeah, the most memorable vision engrained in my head from that day was some dude outside my hotel room window trying to clean off his car with lightning all over the place. what an idiot. like that guy was going to get anywhere in the middle of that. I remember him looking up at the sky in the direction of the tv towers after a close lightning strike and probably thinking he was next. Those are WFXT towers directly behind the hotel.

    yeah well, 4"/hr rates with rediculous thundersnow will do that to you. yeah, was supposed to be at the 'ol friday evening wedding. missed the wedding, made it to the reception (which is what counts, no?). I always smile when I drive past the sheraton in Needham on 128...and always will. What a crazy day that was. That level of thundersnow will never be matched again. I like to call that event "the december MCS with snow".

    Probably the quickest onset of S+ I've ever seen.
  5. Arnold214
    This mainly to bust Will's balls. Still, this snowstorm probably makes my top 5 list.

    post the link to when it gets good.

    The 15.8" I got from that was a little disappointing when I look back on it. That could have been my 20 incher. My folks got like 8-10 more than me, lol. Banding was too transient over my place.

    I think I would have been OK with the 4" in that case. I think Ray would have tied the noose tho.

    If I had only another 100 ft in elevation I probably would have had accum snowfall at my place.

    Here's the route I took that night. My house in attleboro at point A. It's 5.5 miles (or so) as a crow flies (8 miles driving). It was all snow about the time I got to the RI border if not a mile west of that on 120. Painful.

    I was angry. I was like 5-10 miles as a crow flies from heavy snow in attleboro. Had 55-60dbz echoes overhead for 3 hours there and all it was white rain falling. Another attlehole screwjob. On my birthday no less. So, I figured I'd treat myself to a birthday present and drive the 15 minutes to see S+

    Not sure if this video was posted or not. Sorry if it was. http://mypictures.abc3340.com/MediaItemView.aspx?id=1254500

    Another debris ball...this time near Warm Springs, GA.
  14. Arnold214
    I've never seen so many. The supercell near Dadeville, AL still has one.
  15. Arnold214
    I had the same exact thought. Exactly 20 years ago yesterday, too.
  16. Arnold214
    Very strong couplet heading toward Cave Spring, GA.
  17. Arnold214
    I'm pretty sure I've never seen a more classic example of a tornadic supercell on radar than this. Maybe 5/3/99. I think I have my new avatar.
  18. Arnold214
    You know it's a nasty outbreak when the current tornado warnings outnumber the svr warnings by at least double.
  19. Arnold214
    Yeah, that's just out of control. Big cities of Tuscaloosa and Birmingham look to be in serious trouble in the next 1-3 hours.

    The 08z HRRR mauls much of the northern 2/3rds of the state of AL and south-central/eastern TN after 20z this afternoon. It gives ample time for the airmass to re-destabilize behind this morning's action. Here's what it's showing for CR for 21z. We'll see how it does.
