  1. Yeah a friend from high school in Essex texted me that they had hail bigger than pea size and it was really loud. I didn't believe him and made him take pictures. Then 15 minutes later he texted again to say it was pouring rain. Meanwhile... it was still snow in Montauk lol
  2. Yeah - I think the biggest factor is that there was a tremendous amount of convection in that band so you had a lot of latent heat release doing some funky things to the thermal profile. When we had 1/4 mile +SN in Groton and reports of rain and hail on the east side of the mega band we knew something pretty wild was happening. The "asteroid ice" that fell was more like hail than sleet - plenty of riming and also some legit hail characteristics around the updrafts.
  3. Quickly above freezing on Mount Tolland for a wet Christmas?
  4. Pretty strong model signal for the last day or two for a really icy start Christmas morning.
  5. Even Hartford/Tolland may get a nice thump before pl/zr/ra. Maybe a 1-3 kinda deal for N CT and more north of the Pike?
  6. Yeah was not expecting the EPS to looks so different. Very little signal for something on Monday.
  7. Yeah we'll see. Hopefully we luck out a bit.
  8. I'm getting to Vail on December 9. Just a nightmare pattern out there for the next 2 weeks.
  9. Given the environment with those storms it was bizarre not to have a SVR in effect especially with those velocity signatures.... AND the large number of TDSs already on Long Island. Wasn't great but hopefully next time will be better.
  10. It was tough. I wasn't in the office but we did go on a few times with updates. Not having even a SVR in effect (for some inexplicable reason) made the entire thing far more challenging to cover than it should have been.
  11. How many would have been confirmed pre dual pol?
  12. I think the old Modellab is done. They're shutting it down.
  13. I managed to avoid getting in an accident while surveying lol
  14. Was on the Cape this weekend - an impressive amount of tree damage along Rt 6 from Sandwich all the way to Truro. One thing I saw that was interesting was a stand of maybe 20 hardwood trees all snapped in half across from the transfer station in Truro.
  15. Son of Sandy! That was a great storm
  16. Yeah it's the vast majority of our market. I posted a map with our forecast too ane we had someone in New London County doing a localized forecast there from 4-630p. Not sure what else we can do.
  17. Yeah the Cape is pretty close to a lock. For most of us you'll need one of the deeper solutions to verify and get the low to tuck in pretty close to the coast I think. That may take some work.
  18. The NAM is quite a bit farther SE than the HRRR and Euro. I would imagine that would be close to NBD outside of the coast in SE NE.
