Juliancolton Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The June '15 solar storm was a great event. First time in years I saw naked-eye pillars at home, and it lasted most of the night instead of the usual 15-minute substorm followed by hours of waiting for the Bz to flip negative again.

Rjay Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Does anyone rememeber the site Im talking about? Had images like the ones below. It was a case study of the top northeast snowstorms (before 2010 I believe). I feel like the name was Berkshire...something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite regular weather reading when I went online in the late 90's was the Walt Drag AFD's out of Boston. That was what first got me interested in the concept of long range forecasts.

North and West Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Speaking of Kocin/Uccellini, is there a way to read that book? Maybe via Kindle? Has there been an update? I was looking through my library catalog and can't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the detail of his AFD's went above and beyond what any meteorologists were doing at the time. He would usually be among the first to advertise storm potential in the long range.

My only regret is that I went online in January 97 instead of a year earlier. Snowstorms were tough to come by from 96-97 to 99-00. March 99 was really the only nice surprise in that period.

Hadn't thought about it in a while. There are a ton of great resources from the early web that are sadly just rotting away over time. Same thing with engine building resources. There is some great online theory out there from the late 90's and early 00's. Love the way those old sites are laid out. Now technology has changed and things have gotten more precise, but that info is still relevant in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most recent edition was published in 2004, which, although feeling like just yesterday, is pretty dated at this point (at least in terms of the case studies). I know Paul occasionally talks about a forthcoming update, but who knows if Dr. Uccellini would have time to contribute again now that he's at the helm of the NWS.

When that came out Kocin came to Kean and did a presentation. I had the privledge of attending and I wasn’t dissapointed. TWC really declined after his departure.

But next week I'm switching from FIOS to Optimum JUST so I can get The Weather Channel back on my TV. FIOS dropped it a couple of years ago. Stupid move. Accuweather, though they try, just doesn't live up to what TWC can offer - especially during Spring tornado season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, some people will always favor either snow, or no snow, and with the exception of a hand full of people, very rarely show no bias.

NycStormChaser Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Looks like tonight may be good for the Aurora Borealis in the northeast. Plan on going to the rondout reservoir. There is a parking area facing north that does not involve hiking far. Too cold for all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mophstymeo Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Totally random, but as I bundled up this morning to leave for work I was struck by the realization that I have been finding this chilly March weather to be more physically unbearable than the frigid temperatures we experienced in January. Totally psychological, I know. And now back to the bickering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
