Well yeah there's that too. I'm sure we get our own version of the 'once in 500 ... 10,000' year gig going... One can only wonder what the upper limit really is relative to hillier terrain.
The last significant flood spring I can recall was 2010, March. 4-5" inches per coastal storm, three proper, inside of three weeks tends to send creeks and rivers over b-ful.
Prior to that ... the 2006 Mother's Day weekend deal in the Merrimack Valley area - I don't know if that particular event really included anywhere else. Could be wrong but I think that was pretty confined to NE Mass and southern NH associated the Merrimack River getting angry over a cut-off low's inflow channel being aimed right at the White Mountain.. Having graduated from UML, the years I spent there I often wondered if the Pawtucket spill/ledge would ever 'disappear.' I'd have to revisit the scene 10 years later to see it finally happen... Extraordinary visage... 15 to 20' drop almost level with barely a gravity wave over top-
Enjoying all the flood talk in here today. 2006 was bad up here. The Spicket river had roads closed everywhere in Methuen/Salem NH. Pretty sure I had a lot of days off of school because the High School was being used as a shelter and the buses couldn't run many of there routes.
A kid I went to High School with made this video of it. Excuse the overly dramatic music.....
Incidentally I missed the massive 1,000 year flood in Boulder Colorado in 2013 by only a few days as I was moving back to Mass. I was bummed to not see it as a weather geek but from what my roommates showed me I'm glad at the same time. The house we were living in got hit hard and my room was in the basement which got flooded out.
On another note anyone notice all the Radars went down on weather.gov? Working fine on my phone on RadarScope however.

Big wet flakes in Methuen now. Probably will be the last flakes we see here until next season so I'm enjoying it despite how crappy it was out there the rest of the day.

Not looking good. Look at all the people trapped on roofs escaping the surge/flooding.

If you don't like the weather in New England wait 5 minutes....
Yeah right. The interior puts us to shame.
I realized this rather quickly after living in Denver and then Boulder for about 4 years (steamboat for a year as well during there second snowiest winter on record, that was fun.) I remember one day being mid 70's in Denver and the next day a full on blizzard. In a synoptic view though I'm still more interested in Nor'easters and New England weather in general. Those obs out of DIA are just crazy though.

Hardest I’ve seen it snow all season here. To bad it’s not going to last but I’m going to go take the dog for a walk and enjoy it for now!
-
Off topic but that’s an ominous storm heading into Columbus, SC right now. Hard to say what’s going on as the velocity couplet is almost directly over the radar right now.
-
Anyone think this could be a paste job for some and cause some power issues? I can’t shake the thought of March7/8th last year here. 10 inches of straight man snow up in this area and you can still see the tree damage out there from it today.

MWN 171 mph!
Highest ever Feb gust.
I’m sitting here constantly hitting refresh on there obs page. Didn’t they just top the highest gust up there in over a decade a few weeks ago?
-
Mount Washington 139mph gusting to 163. Damn!
-
Garbage can catastrophe out there. LWM peak gust is only 48mph so far but things seem to be winding down here. Not to shabby but I was expecting more. Not trying to downplay some of the higher gusts at ORH that were pretty impressive but I think my expectations are set high after Oct 29/30 2017 and the March 2018 paste job that rivaled the damage in the 2008 ice storm here. Really trying to find LWM data for the Oct event with no luck(any help much appreciated.) I think we would have had to gusted to 65-70 with the damage I had in my hood.

Highest gust at LWM so far is 47. Wind has let up some during the last 20 minutes or so.
Ya just took the dog for a walk here. Sounds like a freight train above but was mixing down better earlier.

Big damage event here first of 4 in 17 /18

I think I was at about a week in West Methuen. No hospitals or even a convenience store on my grid. To bad that came in the middle of the night. I got some photos somewhere of a line of power poles snapped in two in town I’ll dig up. I don’t expect this too be nearly as damaging.

Bretton Woods was very firm Monday and it had some dangerous spots, but sticking close the side of the trail was the go to move. Loon Tuesday was a bit better but only stayed over on the Kancamagus Quad as I was demoing next years equipment for work so I can't speak for the rest of the mountain. Speaking with coworkers who stayed on Wednesday it sounds like things were much better. Hopefully they stay mostly snow up there this storm and can maintain conditions because the pack is deep!

Snowed firmly yet gently through the evening, ended up with ~4" of fairly powdery snow this morning.
Ya about the same here. Was surprised they didn't put up a WWA last night for western essex once it became clear we were staying cold and not flipping.
What's everyone's best guess for timing on the snow squalls later for eastern mass? The gf is thinking of leaving work at 3 to avoid what could be a hairy commute.
-
55 here windy and raining hard. The snow pack is resilient however. The 2 inches of sleet on top of the 5 inches of snow last week isn't going to melt much up here I don't think.
-
That was some insane sleet earlier up here. Not sure I've ever seen it sleet that hard for that long of a duration. At one point it looked as if someone was standing on my roof pouring gallons of sugar off of it. That alone made this event memorable for me. I would love to see what some of the soundings from today looked like around this area.
-
Missed out on any squalls today but it's blowing good out there. Seems every bit as windy as when we had that high wind warning up not long ago. I've always been curious as why those warnings bust so much...what's the criteria again for High Wind Warning? Sustained at 40 with gusts to 58 if I remember correct? We never seem to hit that when issued a warning, at least in my location.
-
And just like that it’s over to mostly snow with huge wet flakes under the heavier echos. Nice to see but not expecting any accumulation.
-
Pingers here with a few big flakes mixing in.
-
As much as I love the idea of a good storm I could do without it next week. How it's easy to forget there are still people up here in Andover/Lawrence without there heat turned back on from the gas explosions. I imagine any storm is just going to be a set back for them completing the work.
Hopefully the mountains get in on some action later in December because they got a good base up there. Riding conditions on Saturday were phenomenal and I don't think I ever left the trees. We can score here later in the season.

Really valuable insight thanks for sharing that.
Also it currently looks like that cell by Mansfield, MO is producing right now according to the TOR warning.
