Cyclone-68

After last weekend with southern areas this should be nicknamed “the apology storm”

OT but I heard a one hour interview with Dion when I was in Chicago.   Really interesting guy!  Still married to his teen aged love.   

Fascinating man. Had a bad drug habit which nearly killed him 

I don’t think four hours of continuous severe thunder-snow is too much to ask from this 

Raining hard in Braintree. I just never felt this one 

Very unscientific but I’m getting a bad vibe for this area. It seems the big ones can’t wait to start here and today it’s been almost reluctant to get going all day 

Nary a flurry yet but hopefully that’ll change soon 

Any thunder snow likely with this system?

If everything breaks perfectly, always a long shot naturally, what kind of snow totals could be realized?

Any tidal issues if this comes to pass early next week?

Looks like we’re “tucked”

That books already exists:   

 

My idea would be more hurricane and tornado oriented. Lol

I want someone to write a book about time traveling storm chasers. Then we can revisit great storms of the past first hand 

Does wind chill even matter at that temperature?

A couple of lightning flashes here

Go start a severe thread.

Uggh that’d doom the whole severe season with my luck 

Edit: won’t clutter up this thread any more about this lol

Tornado upper air analysis from when Jesus walked the earth...yup, it’s been a big winter in NewEng.

Tornadoes are like football season, you can discuss it year round

I found this book at Walgreens on New Year's Eve about Connecticut Tornadoes. I haven't had the chance to read it yet, but I did read the first 5 pages and it was talking about a major tornado that went through Wethersfield or New Britain I think in the late 1700's. 

May i also suggest Tornado by Polk Laffoon (yes that’s a real name) and Tornado Watch 211 for some more good reading

Perfect!  I just wish I could find my Significant Tornadoes” book in my house somewhere. That’s an awesome way to kill a few hours or when the climate is boring

the weather has just become boring. We can't buy snow events, the Great Plains can't buy severe wx (KS only had 17 tornadoes in 2020...17). I mean I guess when we do get interesting weather we sure get slammed. This just brings a great debate...is it better to get a dozen small events or 1 or 2 big events? (like a winter where you get 1 20'+ event or 13 3-6'' events or a summer with one massive severe weather outbreak or a dozen events with just typical 50-60 mph winds and pea hail). ahhhhhh...this question causes me to lose sleep sometimes

When the weather pattern is boring I like to read about past tornado outbreaks. And in summer about hurricanes. Helps keep the spirit up 

Are we going to avoid any overly frigid stretches this winter? That would be great if it’s not going to snow

WOW enhanced in the mid-Atlantic with 10% TOR

All I want for Xmas is a Torcon of 5

A Christmas EF2 would be the perfect end to 2020

Watch out Tom Brady

With the wife and I at home both suffering from COVID I’m really looking forward to watching this dump without having to be anywhere

I wasn’t here but wasn’t BOS supposed to be whiffed and got 13 inches?

I remember this storm very well. Elliot Abrams was on WHDH radio insisting the storm would still miss Boston even at its height. Woke up in the morning to 14/15 inches in Dedham. Initial forecast was a trace to an inch or too. Outside of my college days, biggest bust I ever saw
