CoastalWx Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 You got it! Next: That almost looks like Jan 21 of this year, but I don't think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKpowdah Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 I think that is my nightmare storm...busted way too high on snow...12/30-31/07 Right again! That one was decent for me I think. It was the next storm on New Years that I got screwed by downsloping. I was really mad because I was shooting for a 3-foot depth. I think I maxed at 30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Incredible.. (although it is from the 19th) Lol, it was def a bit lucky...but I guessed that storm because it had a fairly unclassic look. It would be easier if I had my kocin book with me, but I'm up at Megans.

Beautiful phase about to happen east of the Mississippi R., and confluence over the northeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful phase about to happen east of the Mississippi R., and confluence over the northeast. Low heights where you normally want higher heights...the confluence is kind of transient...the system was actually mostly a huge front end thump. The confluence held on a bit longer than thought and the storm was under forecast over a lot of I-95 where it was thought it would flip to rain. It did eventually flip or mix in PHL/NYC but BOS held on the whole way. The was just enough Greenland blocking I guess, but its setup was a bit atypical of some other KU events even though many of the parameters are there.

Ginx snewx Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Jan 21 1978 was the biggest and baddest storm of my life.....for a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Does go to show that amazing things can happen even in the crappiest pattern. And the pattern continued to suck after that storm until the monster ULL phase. And after that was cold windy and dry for three weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 That storm sucked...we got 10" but the dryslot was horrific. 10 inches fell in about 5 hours and then we dryslotted and it was over. We got flurries as the "backlash" moved through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got flurries as the "backlash" moved through. Longitude killed ENE on this one, especially BOS. It was a great storm in the NYC area though. Some parts of NW NJ were meso banded and had over 2 feet. I had about 15-16" in New Canaan, CT. One of those relatively rare storms where NYC won and BOS lost.

Yeah I remember the banding flying NW and turning almost due N/S orientation and then rotting over E NY and NNJ for hours while we were spitting SN- with like 3 mile vis. I think some areas just SW of ALB got smoked too with 20-24 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
