IsentropicLift Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 I want another boxing day redux and blizzard of 96. The winds during Boxing Day were unlike any other blizzard that I've ever experienced. The way the models completely lost it and the brought it back was incredible The accumulations out this way were less than memorable. I understand that a lot of people closer to the city did very well, but 96' eclipses Boxing Day to me because the higher totals were more widespread.

Hence why it is #2 on NESIS second only to the great Superstorm of 93' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 sigh A thing that impressed me about Boxing Day is that if you loop the radar from the start the precip expanded northwestward off the ocean. I find that fascinating and also the reason why places like DC got nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYY_2 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I had 2 thundersnow events in 2010-2011 I remember in the January 26-27 2011 storm it was raining before it changed over to heavy wet snow and a bolt of lightning hit the steeple of my church and caused structural damage. It was by far the brightest/loudest strike I've ever heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was by far the brightest/loudest strike I've ever heard I had 30 minutes straight of non-stop Lightning and thunder the night of Jan. 26, 2011. Full blown thunderstorm with 3"+ of snow per hour rates. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was by far the brightest/loudest strike I've ever heard Top 3 storm for me. The upfront piece over-performed and then the line that came through was insane. Lightning, wind and like 14" IMBY in such a short time. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ag3 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Correct me if I'm wrong , but I believe the snow also fell in a pretty short amount of time There was a surprise 3"-6" in the morning. Then a lull for a few hours and then it began at around 8pm as a heavy sleet thunderstorm and quickly changed to super heavy snow and lasted through 4am.

Several inches out of nowhere in the morning and then a mega thunder snow band at night. In general a massive overperfomer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYY_2 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Where were you and it was raining? i was in rockville centre ny and i remember it was raining around 6-7 pm and then it gradually shifted to a mix and then finally snow around 9 or 10. i remember looking and the radar as the precip type began to changeover from west to east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDMK6GLI Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 First day 9-10 day SECS threat on 18z GFS, winter has arrived. It will be gone tommorow. Btw good to see you back in here again my friend. think this month will be primarily inland and us get mangled flakes at the end of a storm. I know most have been spoiled the past couple years with early season snowstorms but that was more the exception than the rule compared to climatology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanksfan Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 First day 9-10 day SECS threat on 18z GFS, winter has arrived. Ah yes the first fantasy snowstorm has arrived. Buckle up guys and gals, I have growing confidence we're in for one hell of a ride this winter. I foresee plenty of sleepless late nights model watching!

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Ahhhhh pd2 was amazing down just north of Baltimore. 30" and still the biggest storm I have seen anywhere (including jan 2006 in Boston) no class for 7 days. Maryland was mangled. Good times! Boxing Day was tops for wind and snow. Jan 2011 we had a ridiculous sleet thunderstorm in long beach so bad you couldn't possibly be outside. Gusts near 60 with huge sleet pellets and cloud to ground lightning about as crazy as it gets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeleConnectSnow Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I think we have all taken for granted at times what we have experienced in the last decade or so. We have seen some unbelievable storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
