    There was a lot of low level E flow before and during that first wave of precip. I assume you’d have to be well into Jan to overcome that? A lot of the precip yesterday would’ve been low level stuff too…maybe saved by some salt nuclei? Of course there may have been a stronger high if it was winter as well. So I guess it’s all a moot point.

    Yeah all a what if game. I’m sure there would have been a mix to start for awhile as that high was just a bit east.

    My first Nor'easter since moving here and I'm wondering is this how Nor'easters usually are? It seemed to just be a couple of days of cool and surprisingly calmish rainy weather here.

    I don't live near the coast, so perhaps that's why it wasn't much here, but I'm just surprised because it felt so calm. There were wind gusts because there are some branches down and there are/were some power outages in the state including in my area but I guess I'm struggling to see how because every time I looked out the window it was so calm. No thunder, no lightning, no nothing. :blink:

    Nah they can be stronger inland and have more precip. This one was primarily far eastern and srn areas. 

  3. Nasty sheet rain/DZ here. Davis is contaminated with leaves and affected by trees when it's windy and plain rain gauge not up due to new fence so have to go by other gauges around here. Looks like N of 5.5". 

    I want to get a new Davis gauge, but with trees nearby, it still has an effect on windy days. Need to figure out where to put a stratus.

    We can agree to disagree. It has less to do with this storm and more to do with receiving a service we used to get regardless of the weather. I enjoy reading the AFD, maybe I’m the only one.

    Back in the day AFDs for me were one of the main conduits of learning for me. The Walt Drag AFDs and others really helped my understanding of atmospheric processes. I think times have out changed now and the days of weenie AFDs are virtually gone. Expect maybe for more extreme events.

    Last BOX AFD was 3AM. Sad sad sad… while this storm is pretty mediocre it’s nice to get professionally prepared info on the storm as it evolves.

    You can probably thank all the BS going on since the new administration started.
