  1. Yeah it did. I just mean for overall successive cool shots. A change from endless summer exhaust.
  2. Looks like solid frost or freeze in Coos county last night. Those colors will accelerate.
  3. Yep. But In general at least down here it will be AN until later Thursday.
  4. It does look like a warmer week overall, but man does the door slam shut later Thursday.
  5. That was nice to see in Jan this year. Our good friends near UUU got lit up.
  6. I’ve seen first hand how variable it is in TAN.
  7. Will and I talked about this before, but the Jan 05 blizzard was just like he described. I remember looking at radar and being like “ummm that’s getting too close for comfort..” All of the sudden the precip shield exploded into an intense CCB band. One of the most classic Miller B representations on radar from start to finish.
  8. TAN does well overall for snow. Certainly better than GON and south of PVD.
  9. I’ve seen the CCB slam SE areas including the Cape and this sort of mini slot develops in srn RI and into extreme SE CT. Maybe into areas west of New Bedford too. It’s definitely the dryslot in the mid levels, but sometimes the CCB from 850-700 can mask that off to the east. Sure maybe the prime DGZ dries out, but you have a firehose of moisture and small to medium sized flakes there. It doesn’t happen in every storm, but besides the March 2013 event, January 2005 and I remember January 2011 was an issue there too. It’s not due to downsloping, but perhaps maybe a standing wave that can develop if conditions favor. That’s what happened in March 2013 to the extreme. Big isentropic lift or upglide in ern areas. Sinking air to the point that sun sun was visible in RI, and then upglide again in CT. There was also a s/w in NY state that likely aided the totals near Kevin.
  10. Srn RI can be a screw hole. Sometimes they are east of the mid level goodies and don’t quite get into the CCB off to the east and northeast. I do think there is something to big easterly flow slamming into SE MA and maybe some sort of standing wave happens, but March 2013 was extreme. Like Will said, nrn RI was crushed in Dec 92.
  11. That event was like an arc of moisture that extended over to your area and then petered out. It was NW of that weird subby zone.
  12. You need those weird western spine fluff jobs.
  13. July1 was 92 at BOS and near 90 on the 12z. Lots of 80s too. Pretty much summer wx.
  14. They said it was a scud cloud, I don't agree. That was a good FC. The base around it, can tell there was rotation, rain shaft off to the right etc. I don't think that was scud.
