Hoth

How was the flight? See anything of note from 35k feet?

I think you'll be obliterated, even if you do slot for a bit. Gonna be epic down there!

Someone in NYC thread was saying the servers came under attack by millions of requests. Anyone know if there's anything to that?

Haha, I'm with you, buddy. That would be tough to see.

Boxing Day. Hours of non-accumulating needles on a roaring wind. Now, cast that memory into the fire! Destroy it!

Haha, this thread would be dead if you did!

Great runs on the whole for eastern Mass to be sure. Just have one question perhaps someone with formal training in the science can comment on. There's a fairly persistent subsidence hole over eastern Mass, running roughly Boston to Cape Ann, which has showed up on the RGEM, Canadian, NAM and GFS to some degree. I'm wondering if this is more a result of proximity to the sinking air around those huge bands to the west, or if it may have to do with the wind direction/coastal front? Many thanks in advance. As an addendum, just want to say this place is a treasure trove for amateurs like me. I've learned more lurking here for the past four years than I'd probably ever pick up just reading books and studying charts.

Hell of an initiation into nor'easters. Enjoy!

Violently agree. Very persistent on some of these runs.
