    I can't believe how many casualties this took...yet again. Just an awful, awful year.

    My co-worker and I were noting the same thing from a pic of the Tuscaloosa tornado. There was no rain to be found anywhere near the tornado....that's something you see in the Plains...pretty rare for that part of the country. Part of this can likely be contributed to the incredible shear as well...keeping the rain away from the tornado.

    Forbes was pretty telling on NBC. He described what he think could be spots of EF5 damage as he flew over Tuscaloosa.

    This is a good point. We've seen some instances...I think even in the previous outbreak in AL and NC where homes were severely damaged, but then you had clues to more EF1 damage, like mailboxes which were untouched. Even EF0 tornadoes can overturn cars. It's not just the horizontal velocity of the wind, but you have vertical motions that can combine to overturn a car.

    Those storms along nrn AL seem to be taking in all that helicity from the retreating cold pool acting like a warm front.

    Yeah the whole thing just seems to have lowered to the ground. Incredible.

    Folks on ABC33 are playing this out very nicely. They did a good job in the outbreak a couple of weeks ago, as well.

    We had the shear in the NC outbreak, but now we have the CAPE for violent updrafts to help facilitate the development of strong tornadoes. This is the result, folks.

    It's incredible looping GWX. Wow.

    I knew the Iowa state radar page that showed the national mosaic, but I didn't know you could get single site archive imagery like that. That's fantastic!

    Thanks man..that's it. There's a NAM simulated radar map a couple of pages back that's an in-house product. I know because I did a screen capture, and it got my initials in a GUI that I use..lol.

    I mean after 07z when that dryslot approached. I want to see how it filled in, because it got close to DCA. Looking at that , you can see how your area through Phin's hood got crushed. Incredible. LOL at the image of the NAM that Ian saved. Those were a few of the weenie products I posted.

    Any of you guys have radar after 2:12 am?? I want to see how that dryslot filled in.

    Should be a good game either way, Joe. Lots of libations.

    The Jets are a good team. They'll be fine.

    I don't care of Brady is a drag queen...as long as he wins.

    I've seen that happen. It's almost more coastal front generated, but it can happen. You have light se winds overriding arctic air. We saw something like that during 12/20/08 in se mass. S.Weymouth-Brockton was the target zone.

    Well, not true OES, but a couple of Cape specials that were likely OES enhanced. 2/3/96. This storm got se mass and the Cape hard, I remember I had close to 7" in Brockton, but it was a very cold storm. Potent little clipper on 2/26/94. This one I remember got me excited, because there was thundersnow over the Midwest with this. I think I only had 5" at home, but it literally came in about 2-3hrs.

    You're dead Joe.

    I don't know if you saw my pics from PDII Steve, but I had close to 2' as well. I'll have to scan them and put them on here.
  21. CoastalWx
    The name alone tells you the pilots had no clue about winter wx.
  22. CoastalWx
    Believe it or not, I was a little disappointed in that storm. I just missed getting the good oes snow that areas like Rockland, Norwell etc had. This was in Brockton at the time. I had close to 18" in that, but the best stuff was just to my east. I remember seeing the pics from Norwell, and wondered if I would ever see 2' of snow. That's all I wanted..lol.
  23. CoastalWx
    I had like 4.5" in that, but the heaviest band was about 5 miles to my south. Not bad though.
  24. CoastalWx
    Feb had the big snow on the mass east coast. There were also the larger storms that buried se mass later on in the month. Dartmouth had like 18".
  25. CoastalWx
    I actually remember '87-'88 decently. I was pissed at some of the changeovers, but one of the few winters where snow forts could be built.
