Hoth

Fiyaaaah!!!

So my pinpoint NWS forecast has 23"-37" predicted.

IS THIS REAL LIFE?

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

I'm scared we dryslot instead of turn to rain.

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?

If it played out and I got 14 and I'm flanked by 30 inch amounts, that's a fair melt imo

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

Thats the problem with stalled storms you rot in either. Fronto wallop then stall you get crushed or its wind blown shattered dendrites for hours, been there done that probably 5-8 times in my life, but also been on the other end 5-8 times.

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

Should start a thread for people looking to escape the subsidence zone and find deformation land.

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.

oh dude I can't tell you how pumped I am. First Nor Easter ever and I'm sure this will more than make up for the crappy 4" of snow I have received all season before this. I am fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to have the next 15 days off due to an injury so I'll be able to sit here and take it all in (of course I'm gonna take a drive to watch hill and try to experience some close to hurricane force gust!?) ... Can't even begin to explain how excited and pumped I am, more than I've ever been for any lake effect event in Buffalo ever. What are your thoughts for this area? I'm hoping for 18"+ but would consider anything over 12" a score for sure. It's the combined effects of this storm that's got me pumped more so than the totals as I know I'm not gonna jackpot, and to me and it really doesn't matter because this is just gonna be an epic storm as a whole. Winds here? Think we'll gust above 60? Well good luck everyone and so sorry to the NYC folks that are probably one east Euro run away from a toaster bath. To everyone that's lucky enough to experience this storm, appreciate it, enjoy it, and stay safe!

Hell of an initiation into nor'easters. Enjoy!

Let's get rid of this BOS subsidence zone

Violently agree. Very persistent on some of these runs.
