The violent backdoor of April 2002.

I actually think it's more synoptic vs fine-line. I mean fine line of convection may do it, but I think we overrate that. I've had many of these areas of intense rains move through and the wind isn't any higher than what I've seen in the hours prior to it. Anyways, it's probably the standard 50-60 in max gusts for now with advisories or low end warnings. There is time either way to take 'em up or down.

925mb. That's the best proxy with these events. But we are talking a magnitude of only 5-10kt difference from west to east really. I don't agree with Cape having the winds as many times near ocean areas are inverted with these setups as warm air aloft floods in.

Strongest LLJ is east, euro wind maps suck as we all know. However, the strong LLJ is widespread.

Some of these look like meh events. Stick to the top 5.

Looks pretty chilly this run. No snow for Kevin’s birthday though.

Forward that look in about one month.

Plains

50.7. Slow tick up.

That pattern smokes start looking interesting post 11/10. You favor NNE as stated earlier, but

Looks like about 1.1” pouring.

I find that site difficult to find what you want.

Terrible day

This storm probably would be a Ray special. CF near his house I bet if this were December. 12”+ there. 5-8 here before mix and then flash freeze.

Did you spend the night with any of them?

Groovy baby.

48.5 here and steady rain. Bring back the 60s.

Usually it dries out in the travel areas.

No idea. It was so easily accessible. I’m not exactly sure what’s going on other than some contractual things it seems.

LOL, probably some that should not be giving any.

Can I just say how ****ing annoying it is that we cannot access Nowdata from the NWS?

I love it. Usually some good events too. Plus roads are clean quickly.

Funny about 96-97. We didn’t really do well on coast until 3/31, but just enough to keep you interested. We had an event prior to T day south of Boston. Round 1 in December was actually a positive bust for us. Wetlbulbing down to get TSSN paste and close to 5-7” of it. That was supposed to be down the drain. Part 2 just missed by miles. We mixed in Hyde Park, but east winds were a killer. Seeing Cantore orgasm to TSSN live was a crusher. I could not believe it. What a crush job there, and crushed my soul back east lol. The snow NYE was cool. A nice touch. Jan fluff was already mentioned, but it was tough into March. We did have some bouts of snow in March and it was quite the chilly month. Then 3/31 came and forever changed my outlook on blizzards. Still number 1 for me.

1) that was one of my favorite surprise snow events in Jan 97. Went to bed seeing a shit streak on radar racing up from Kentucky. Woke up to S+ and like 6” of fluff. Was 9” when I went towards Brockton. This was in Hyde Park at the time. 2) I use the 1SD rule although never calculated it. So anything below 25” I felt was a ratter imo. Sounds like we mostly agree. 3) I think I’d take a 2-3’ event if that meant 1-3” scrape here and there. The big ones won’t be around forever. Cherish them when you get them....like Bill and Brady. . They won’t be around forever.
