SlantStickers Anonymous Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 5" so far and heavy rain is moving back in. This storm is the bomb. High tide is only going to bring those flood waters up up up. So, I've got to say it... Imagine if this were winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 how can you be at 1.1"? I am at 1.6" in both buckets. I had posted earlier that I thought I had a leaf in my bucket delaying my totals. I'm glad you're up to date with yours. I'm at 1.21" now. It's coming down in buckets--clearly, things are obstructed. how friggin cool is this shot That is an awesome photo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 You would never have this much moisture equivalent if it were winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 well, then theres 78 92 97 but I get your drift But the QPF and PWAT would be much less in this setup. However, QPF would be more widespread with better advective proceses. I always cringe when people say "if this were winter" because if they are trying to equate this QPF to snow, it won't be realized. However, it certainly is the setup for a blockbuster.

SlantStickers Anonymous Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 You would never have this much moisture equivalent if it were winter. That's a good point, if we did we might see the casual 50" snowstorm every few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROOSTA Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 What a mess. Just went for a little ride via MBTA bus to get some coffee. 20 minute ride turned into 1 and 1/2 hour nightmare. Eastern Franklin County is about to float away. And of course the obligatory "Man if this was winter." LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Should be getting a break soon on the north shore cstl areas, but I think more will fill in a bit later on. The flow in the mid levels needs to become more NE and N and this will bring down the moisture train albeit weaker later on. Models still develop ocnl rains through tonight.

tamarack Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 You would never have this much moisture equivalent if it were winter. Or if we did, most of it would be something other than snow. Post-Christmas 1969 saw much of central/western Maine and adjacent NH get 4-8" LE, but the latter 75% was 40-50F rain that washed away the 12-18" snow that started the storm. Farther west, BTV had 30" of 11:1 snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Valley overperformer in the QPE dept. Nearly 2", though as usual the winds were not particularly notable. Really not since Boxing Day have we had a nor'easter that gave us the radar middle finger. Are winds more NE in the lowest 2-4kft? I'm always fascinated in the minute details of why some east flow events cause such a downslope problem while others are no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I have to give Kev props for this thread, sometimes he picks the right pitch and hits it out of the park, other times Uncle Charlie gets him and he looks foolish striking out but this was a grand slam.

MQE just west with 5.11"Man what a bust on some of the models that had those amounts well up in Maine at this time. 48 hours ago all this was going to be north. Maine will see get wrecked tonight but looking at some of the old QPF progs posted earlier in this thread shows what a bust it has been in SNE (on the wet side), and parts of NNE.

TalcottWx Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 We have this dryslot move in now with a lull, but another plume of moisture arrives near the cape and islands this afternoon and brings another round of rain to eastern mass. 12z hrrr has it. 12z rap does to. Worst is well over, just looks to be additional rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just so confused what we are giving props for.. He just says every event is going to be extreme.. and eventually one is.
