ScituateWX

Just have to acclimate! Back in the day I would be in mid summer training for XC at college an easy 10 before 10 on a day like today was not out of ordinary. I miss those days!

Kind of a weenie question but what is meant by an weak El Nino modoki event? From what I have gathered it means cooler water in the Nino 1 and 2 regions, while the warmer water is further west toward the dateline and this causes convection to fire. I could be totally off on that but I guess what I'm asking is what makes this setup prime for SNE or has in the past thanks!

Already gone at my pace in Cohasset.

We don’t toss!

Good thing I was not the weather nut then that I am now. I would have been pissed lol epic fail at the coast! I got an old disco from this storm floating around the house somewhere pretty wild read!

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Taunton MA 846 AM EST Sun Jan 23 2005 The blizzard of 2005 is now in progress across parts of coastal Southern New England, as those in Massachusetts and Rhode Island endure a storm comparable to the blizzard of 78. This storm is now blasting Eastern Massachusetts, northeast Connecticut and Rhode Island in all its fury with whiteout conditions, temperatures plummeting into the single numbers and teens, northeast to north winds of 50 to 70 mph creating drifts to at least 6 feet, in exposed areas. Travel is not recommended until sometime late today or tomorrow, to give crews which in some cases May have stopped clearing roads for safety reasons, an opportunity to clear roads later today when the storm starts moving away. The storm at 8 AM was still located about 50 miles east southeast of Nantucket and will end up dumping about 16 to 24 inches of snow in the Connecticut River Valley, 20 to 30 inches from Manchester and Nashua New Hampshire through Worcester and Rhode Island. The jackpot will be Eastern Massachusetts where 28 to 38 inch amounts will be common. Nantucket Will end up with less snow because of its warmer conditions and closer proximity to the storm center but blizzard conditions will arrive there this morning. This is likely to be a record setting snowstorm in Boston when comparing against data, dating back to 1892. For Providence this should be a top 3 snow event. The 7 AM reports of 17.8 inches at providences TF Green airport and 19.8 inches at Bostons Logan airport makes this the 6th worst snowstorm in Southeastern New England Interstate 95 history dating back to at least 1905, and heading for at least top 3 ranking by days end. Blizzard or near blizzard conditions will occur along the coast and high terrain this morning and then gradually recede to only the immediate coast during the afternoon. This is a potentially life threatening situation for those who venture out during the height of the storm this morning. Again, travel is not recommended until late today. If you leave the safety of being indoors, you are putting your life at risk. A little chunk of a BOX disco I saved from the Jan 2005 storm. This storm by far to this date was most memorable for me for so many reasons. I guess first and foremost it went down on my birthday. I remember I was running indoor track at the time for Scituate High and we had our State relay meet that day (Saturday) at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston, it was one of the wilder bus rides home to Scituate you would ever have lol the storm had just started as we left, but it did not take long for conditions to go downhill! Then that night and the following day I was out plowing snow taking it all in, jus in awwwww. We have had some storms since then, but I don't think I have seen anything top this as far as snow is concerned in my back yard since this storm. I just also remember how damn cold it was! If this winter were to fall flat on its face but we had a storm like this in my mind it would be ok, it is the type of storm that makes a winter! That winter as a whole though was just a great one here on the South Shore!
