CoastalWx

I'm telling you..and Phil can back me up...the sh*t I saw after the big January bliz was jaw dropping down there. Not many times I'm jealous of the Cape, but I was after that storm.

I happened to find this site the other day. Anyways, it has cool pics from the Cape snow bomb of 12/26/-12/27 2004. It looks like some family pics...but oh well. http://www.user.firs...ter%202004-2005

That was fun seeing live.

The best part of that pic is Ray's face. I can just picture that face whenever Will says elevation event.

Yeah that was great. I woke up during the morning of the 21st before the main event started with another 2" on my car from this one band assoc with the cstl front passing through. After the band went by, my wind turned east.

Only we didn't get downsloped..lol. That was one of Will's all time storms, meanwhile it ripped my heart out and lit it on fire. One of the worst feelings I've ever had.

I know...the weenie snows on the 20th really made it fun imo. I did pretty well in that. Of course we changed to rain the next day after a few inches, but overall it was a fun 48 hrs.

I would love a Dec '08 storm where we had on and off snow for about as long.

'02-'03 stung until early Feb because the gradient was closer. Although they got porked in 12/25 and 1/3...when Brockton used to do well and Marshfield struggled...I got pretty mad. I remember when I found out I was moving there from Brockton, I was disappointed...lol. In my High School weenie mind...I did not want to move to an area the averaged less. Luckily, they don't do as bad as I was originally thinking at the time. I also was happy I was on the nw side of town. I did take solace the BOS struggled as well during the first half of winter '02-'03. I hated when they did well and it was raining down on the s-shore.

That Dec 5 storm was basically the only one that did "well" in my area until early Feb. I did also get advisory snow on 12/2...but that was it. Even the Cape tortured me with those storms at the end of January.

Yes you are right, lol. That put me over the edge. Wow...the feelings are coming back to me. I think I threw the towel in after that one.

Like I was saying yesterday...I needed that. I got tired watching the snowpack build up heading to Lowell every day, only to watch it disappear as I headed back south.

I think we should certainly expect to have less...especially CT up through BOS...but I'm hoping I can get at least 50" in my backyard.

Did Logan11 do ok? As long as him and Pete got clocked...I feel much better.

~50" or so from the beginning of Feb through the beginning of March. Nice winter catch up for my area.

Notice the weenie total at MQE in the Jan storm. Will, that goes along with me saying how we were mixing for hours. MQE was just cold enough at the end.

I think I almost cried when I saw what happened near and nw of 128.

I didn't call that total in, but I found a pic from that storm and I wrote 14" on it. I measured when I got home and stuck a yard stick in and actually had 14"..but it could have been an inch or more after settling. To this day, that was some of the best snowgrowth yet that I have ever seen. I have a few pics from that storm and PD II that I should scan.

Has to be that. That event was an all out bust.

I know a lot of people don't really value wind as much as snow for a storm metric, but that storm was just ridiculous in terms of wind damage from Essex county up through NH and ME. It broke the record for storm surge at BOS harbor set from the blizzard of '78 iirc, but luckily this occurred at low tide.

Dave you killed me in '09-'10. I had no chance in those late Feb storms...I even missed out in the big winds from 2/25-2/26 storm. Just 25 miles to my north had 70-80mph winds.

I know Harvey looks at the euro in more detail then perhaps some of them and he was the more bullish iirc, but still a little low. I mean February in the ORH hills....it's not an uncommon occurrence. But similar people were also going 12-24" back on 2/2 of this year as well. That was almost the complete opposite of 2/23-2/24. We talked about how there was no way people would get near 2'.

I wonder if the TV mets were mostly hugging the GFS in that February storm. I remember I posted the 950 temps on the euro for Will, and it seemed a lock for big wet snowbomb in the interior.
