Cyclone-68

I don’t know what exactly went thru a half hour ago. Two flashes, two loud thunder claps and some small hail all in about a five minute period. A thunder-gasm maybe?

Sadly I would bet $100 nothing will be as close to this again thru the entire summer

Huge lightning strike in Canton and the power went out instantly. The day we bought a ton of perishables too, great.

Holy crap I think I was near that bolt! Bona ride storm with frequent lightning!  Almost an explosion after 

Is “How much for Boston?” going to replace “How much for Philly?”

Yikes...maybe a high end EF3...at least based on some of the latest photos 

Was there an expectation for strong tornadoes last night down there Wiz? I haven’t been following it very closely 

Looks like quite the storm went through Nashville last night. Any EF rating guesses?

I hope we get two feet and then it melts away three days later 

I’m willing to dabble  in the dark arts for a decent severe season 

I’m ready for my season of failed t storm threats and tropical misses. Would seem to fit the theme of this winter 

Thanks guys. At least it gives me something to look for when we get to summer again 

Probably wishful thinking but is there any known correlation between a below average winter and an active tropical cyclone season?

Doesn’t have anything to do with us but that looks like a monstrous storm over the North Atlantic

It was an iconic movie. I should look for it online again

Kinda cool whenever the barometer dips below 29 inches

She should be if she's traveling.

Looks like she’ll already be up there before it starts. Getting home could be interesting though 

I have a friend going to Fryeburg Maine this weekend and she’s very concerned with this news 

The 80’s just called. They want their winter back 

Does anyone offhand know the snow total for Logan this month? Gotta figure it’s under double digits?

No snow and Terry Jones died (google it young ‘uns) I hate life 

I was 12 in 1980, take it from me it most certainly was with few exceptions a dreadful decade for big snow

My pet peeve is when we get 8" of rain, and someone like snow88 will explain how much snow we would have gotten if it were 20 degrees colder...with blatant  disregard for the compromised ability of colder air to hold moisture.

Several on air Mets in Boston used to do this in the past and it was incredibly annoying
