CoastalWx

I've got a pretty good memory of most storms, but I definitely lost track of some of the ones I had in Elementary and a few in Junior High. There are some where I have memories, but just can't put my finger on the date. I'm sure if I dug around a little I'd remember. That said, there are probably several that I remember every single detail. Jan '96, April Fool's '97, Jan '05 and Dec '05. I still remember how it just hit like a big bag of WTF within seconds.

LOL.

Check it out. You can download the powerpoint presentation from David Vallee and the radar loop is on there. Check out the Jan '05 radar loop too if you'd like. http://www.sneweatherconf.org/2006presentations.shtml

Hull is a good place for storms. That peninsula sticks right out into Boston Harbor. It must have been pretty wild.

The pics of the flooding in CT were impressive. It's hard to imagine coastal flooding that bad from e-ne winds.

The Dec 5-7 event is still fascinating to me. The CF was practically n-s in that event so that it crushed Bob in Middleboro, but kind of screwed me. 8 miles to my west had 2'. I had 5.5" or so from the first burst, than about 2" or so of mash potatoes which were mixed with rain at times....it literally was like a 34-35F ra/sn mix for hours, before flipping to 5" of powder. It was much less right at the water, and much more just to the west. Big variation in the same town. My ex probably only had like 5" total on the ground down in Green Harbor, while I had about 8-9" on the ground after compaction. No power for two days as the mash potatoes and 60mph winds took out a lot of trees. There was actually quite a bit of tree damage in the area.

I know I've pimped these out before, but my April Fool's pics from eastern. http://www.easternuswx.com/bb/index.php?/topic/194418-april-fools-blizzard-40197/

Yeah it's funny how distorted it looks, but luckily you have that ruler.

LOL nice.

That looks more than 9.6" from the sidewalk view. Looks like a foot.

Lets see 4pm...that was about 2 hrs into my commute and I was still in Tewksbury.

Will, what was the total for you on 1/14??

I was hoping to see of people had some cool images, whether it's radar, personal pics, or event accounts for storms from the past. I know some people have goodies saved from back in the day. Even present day stuff from the last decade would be great. I just like looking back at old storms and seeing the different accounts people have.

I went through that whole thing on my free time. What great discos from Drag, both on and off the desk.

I figured we can make a thread to talk about our favorite storms and perhaps share any model runs, surface analysis, radar pics, pictures that you may have..etc. It does not have to be a blockbuster either. It's always fun seeing the old radar images from past storms (small or large), and to hear the different takes that people have. I'll start with a fun one for my backyard. Weak low, but H7 low in a good spot for mid level frontogenesis and deformation band as seen in the radar shot below. http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/current/mcview.phtml?prod=usrad&java=script&mode=archive&frames=18&interval=10&year=2003&month=2&day=7&hour=12&minute=0 BOS 15 UTC 1/2 SM SN SNINCR 1/ 2 BOS 16 UTC 1/2 SM SN SNINCR 1/ 3 BOS 17 UTC 1/2 SM SN SNINCR 2/ 4 BOS 18 UTC 1/4 SM +SN SNINCR 2/ 6 BOS 19 UTC 1/4 SM +SN SNINCR 2/ 8 BOS 20 UTC 1/4 SM +SN SNINCR 2/10 BOS 21 UTC 1/4 SM SN SNINCR 1/10 BOS didn't get into the meat of the band either.
