The January storm was a lot of fun, if only for the exotic intensity of the storm itself. I think that thing bottomed at like 950mb, give or take. Was initially modeled off shore, but kept gradually ticking further and further west up until go time.
-
Oh that one! I do remember. Had a couple almost instantaneous flash/bangs. Paste job with some power issues too, right? That was a good storm.
-
Funny, the frustration of the other three was so strong, I don't even remember the event on March 7th.
-
Yeah, that one hurt too. Spots due south of us on LI got like two feet. I seem to remember some miffed viewer of Ryan's forecast threatened to sue him for that bust lol.
-
Yup. Back in the days when I would pull all-nighters for big storms. Did the same in Jan '11.
-
Worst storm ever. One of several awful busts that month. No way I got close to 5". More like 2.5 or 3 that washed away while Ray was doing naked cartwheels in 30" of pow. May it live in infamy with Boxing Day.
-
I believe that was the storm where I first became aware of Eastern and of weather discussion boards in general. It was a glorious discovery to find that others shared my enthusiasm. The storm itself was fun, although I recall agonizing a bit as that epic deform band stalled just east of my location and pummeled southeast CT.

lol, Kevin is apparently not the only one to take pride in his banks. -
Ray, thanks for all your hard work. Your outlook is always one of the highlights of my weather-watching year and I look forward to re-reading this several times to soak up as much as I can.

Zero point zero.

July '89 Hamden tornado and Blizzard of '93 sealed my fate as a weenie. Feb '13 blizzard, 1717 Part II in Jan/Feb 2015, Sandy, October '11, Springfield-Brimfield tornado. Maybe throw in March '12 torch for good measure.

No indication of secondary wind maxima on the recon flights that I've seen. Just a smooth climb in windspeed right up to the eye wall. Fairly axisymmetric appearance with that perfect donut hole eye. Not going to invoke the "A word", but it certainly has some characteristics in common. That may be lending stability to the system. Irma was similar. Went a good day and half at high end cat 5 before undergoing ERC. Anyway, a freaking incredible system.

Florence is really starting to get that mean look this morning. Good luck to you all, stay safe!
-
Yeah, I brought that up a couple days ago, Jerry. If you had plunked this stretch down in mid-Feb with climo temps, this would probably be the 2nd 2-3 footer for many of the posters in here and the third foot plus storm in two weeks.
-
Yep, just as I suspected. We got the shaft.
-
I find it kind of hilarious that the Valley got bent over even with an amenable thermal profile. If it ain't temps, it's fooking subby holes. Gotta find a better spot to move to.
-
This storm has surpassed Boxing Day as my most loathed KU. Total dumpster fire.
-
Yeah, I have nothing to complain about. The last decade has been insane, and I'll never top being in Boston for '15.
-
It snowed pretty hard for about an hour and change, but the core of the really good stuff stayed just west. Then the band sort of rotted and reformed off to my east. If we hadn't just bagged a double digit snow last week I'd be melting hard right now, but as it is, I'm just turning my thoughts to girls in tennis whites and sweating ice-cold juleps on the deck. I'll give this winter a B-.
-
Yeah, flagged for quality control for sure. You see the guy in Sprague CT reporting 6"/hr fluff under that band? Wow.
-
Yeah, that sounds like BS to me. They probably jammed their ruler through last week's glacier and took the measurement.
-
3.5" is my final, Seasons. Wamp wamp indeed haha.
-
Brutal, brutal system Cod.
-
I measured 3.5" for the storm total a few hours ago, which has already melted down to an inch of slush. Roads are bare and all the trees have more or less dripped all the snow off. I'm getting flashbacks to my childhood in the 80s.
-
I know the modeling suggest a favorable pattern coming up and hint at a storm in a week, but climo is getting more and more hostile down here. It's gonna be tough to pull another accumulating system without a lot of luck. We'll see.
