It was a Flop... February 2024 Disco. Thread
ChangeofSeasonsWX replied to Prismshine Productions's topic in New England
You can say the same thing about severe weather. Why doesn't the northeast US get the same major severe outbreaks that we used to get? Multiple intense derechos in the 80s and 90s, 05/31/85 tornado outbreak, also a high risk day on 05/31/98 that produced seven EF3's in NY state. Don't forget about the 1953 Worcester tornado. I wonder what was the return period for that is? The 50s were crazy. Major hurricanes and F4 tornadoes. You would think that those events would be more common nowadays with all this warming climate, but they're not. -

Alaska was amazing. I would honestly move there if it wasn't for the astronomical prices of literally everything. Plus the fact that its in the middle of nowhere and food in the supermarket is not fresh at all. There is also a lot of homelessness and drug and alcohol abuse, particularly in Anchorage. -
Absolutely this. I doubt we will ever be able to get it right 100% of the time, although I do agree that if the Euro verifies this would be the biggest bust in many years. Maybe since Feb 13, 2008? It's rare for them to get it this wrong this close to the event but this goes to show that it can happen.

8-12 is definitely nothing to sneeze at for sure. I bet that back in the 80s people would kill for a storm like that. Like I said in my earlier posts this was never supposed to be a high end event to begin with. I personally think that PVD will end up closer to 8" than 12" though. Kind of a moderate warning event but nothing major. Maybe I'm wrong. But I will enjoy it regardless of the outcome.

When was the last time that we saw a significant snowstorm with these sort of ratios? Paste bombs usually max out at around 6-8 inches but this one has higher potential than that. Dec 92 is the only really high end paste bomb I can think of. I recall that Feb 2013 started out wet also but became powdery pretty quick.

I will be happy with a 6-8 type system around here. However, the low end estimate by BOX of 4" would honestly be a disappointment considering the potential this had. Of course I would love to see 12+ around here but its just not realistic with this particular setup. Too warm for us in southern areas.
