  1. Getting a lot of 2/24/2016 vibes from both the outlook and the model progs/soundings for Monday, which of course was a widespread severe outbreak for the region, including some strong tornadoes (e.g. Appomattox VA EF3).
  2. Some pretty jaw dropping wording from the headlines of the latest AFD from NWS Marquette. This thing is going to be a truly remarkable (and dangerous) storm for even the winter-hardened folks of the UP.
  3. 12z NAM was an outbreak of severe storms across the SE into the Mid Atlantic Sunday evening through Monday. There is a very large area of high shear and sufficient CAPE overlap showing up here.
  4. Another death has been unfortunately found in a damaged home in Aroma Park from the Kankakee-area tornado.
  5. 18z GFS casually with 6 feet of snow near Marquette. Ungodly with the lake enhancement to boot.
  6. The totals being printed out of N WI and the UP/northern LP of MI from the 12z suite are just absurd.
  7. To be clear, GRB's all time record snowfall is 29" from 3/1-2/1888. Some model progs are smashing that even accounting for the earlier clipper.
  8. That IKK storm yesterday produced multiple record breaking hailstones for IL in addition to the multiple strong tornadoes, including one that was apparently nearly 8".
  9. Major damage in/near Lake Village IN with a report of 2 fatalities, multiple homes destroyed.
  10. Cat 2 on NESIS and Cat 3 on RSI, I think the latter is a far better representation of this storm’s magnitude despite not quite hitting all of the population centers as hard as it could’ve, like some in the past (PDII, Jan 1996, Feb 1983, etc). If the core Boston area had gotten 2 feet instead of 15”, it’d easily be a Cat 4 on the RSI.
  11. This storm has been rated a high end Cat 3 on the RSI scale for the Northeast, which to me seems like a fair ranking considering it didn’t quite bullseye most of the population centers with the heaviest amounts, missed DC/Baltimore entirely, and was fairly confined to the coast. However, it produced historic or near historic snowfall amounts over the area it did strongly affect and did drop 20+” on most of the NYC metro. Way better than NESIS IMO.
  12. So is Central Park just going to pretend that the 0.15" of liquid after their 1 PM observation of 19.7" didn't exist or...
  13. Did PVD not get additional snow after their 37.9" measurement? There were a couple of bands that pivoted through there that probably should've got them above 38" officially. Central Park is obviously worse, they got 0.15" of liquid after their 19.7" observation at 1 PM. That is straight up shortchanging.
  14. Those Fall River pics remind me of some that I’ve seen out of Woonsocket/vicinity from 1978.
  15. Yeah it was 34.5", that's the highest I can think of for second place.
  16. There's like two dozen 30"+ reports from the Providence area, you were just north of the highest amounts.
  17. I may be wrong, but for the official stations of the major cities (BDL, PVD, BOS, ORH, etc), is that the highest storm total ever recorded in SNE?
  18. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.php?pil=RERPVD&e=202602240000 37.9 inches at PVD!!
  19. Just unreal. No idea what the total is now, but I wouldn’t rule out 40.
  20. Boston getting the goods now with that re-developing band, and PVD too, which is hilarious.
  21. Radar is filling back up over RI/E MA with the approach of the deformation axis on the backside. Probably going to make a run at 40" in spots.
  22. And now a 33.5" report from 2 E Providence. Clearly an all time storm for the city along with Feb 1978.
