  1. That's new this year. See screenshot attached. A good change IMHO b/c it quantifies things better. Too often, the MSM gets "yellow X happy," as I like to call it, when NHC has multiple potential areas outlined, and the MSM and the hyper-masters act like, "the tropics are coming ALIVE!"
  2. Best I can tell, the 3 spinners in VT this year so far is the most the state has had in a year on record, at least since 1975. Due to over-reporting after the 1953 ORH spinner through 1974 and the concept of a microburst not realized until the early 70s, I would not consider records before 1975 reliable. Of course, it wasn't until the mid 90s when we really started to detect and document much better what actually occurred for tors given the installation of WSR-88Ds and the NWS MAR. WxWiz be like be"MEH!" LOL.
  3. Speaking to a observer in Madison NH, he has had 14.79" since 5/1. CoastalWx: "Why can't we get than here?!"
  4. See here for the snowfall measuring issues pre-1990. https://news.ucar.edu/14009/snowfall-measurement-flaky-history
  5. Noted Albany NH 8.90" and Debry Line VT 7.41" CoCoRaHS MTD.
  6. But if Weymouth does not get the absolute max pcpn for the event in SNE, it will be "MEH!"
  7. You know, this is a New England forum, so all wx in the region is relevant. Maybe we should start a forum called: "5 SM Radius Weymouth - ACATT"
  8. Maybe some decent tstms SNE if the low passes far enough N.
  9. What about the supercells and TOR warnings in MA? Not a complete fail.
  10. Thanks for a personal experience report! Makes 95 w/ a 70 dew point feel "great", right?
  11. I count approx 90 wind reports for New England today. Not something CoastalWx can just go "MEH!" LOL. Looks like we have at least one spinner. I was thinking 1-2 spinners for the event all along. As WxWiz said, event about as expected. Limited CGs makes sense given the low CAPE. Funny, almost like a cool season event b/c of the high shear/low CAPE and limited LTG! So a victory for the models and pattern recognition well in advance.
  12. You can definately see the environmental wind shear from the cloud motions at different levels!
  13. That looks suspicious. Anytime you see trees sheared/snapped off mid-way like that, that suggests PSBL SPINNER!
