Those on the Gulf coast should keep an open mind this winter, some dude in Pensacola measured a foot of snow outside of his office 17 months ago.

That S+ event was truly exceptional!  Even I was impressed!   It takes a lot to impress me big for wx events these days.  When you study wx history and records a lot, that tends to do that.

Seems like a flash flood threat too… we are over 1” on the day and every one of these pulses is just cranking water.

Looks like there may be some training developing within the line too.

I bet we can do another 1” with what’s coming.

Max I see so far is 2.76" Kingfield ME.  Meso models showed the NNE R+ well.  Mt. Mansfield 2.08"

That looks suspicious.  Anytime you see trees sheared/snapped off mid-way like that, that suggests PSBL SPINNER!

The line of thunderstorms moved through the Newfound Lake area of NH was not big deal. The storm was of very short duration.  My peak wind gust on my 10M anemometer was 30mph.  Very briefly I had a rain rate of 7.25".  Total rainfall with the thunderstorm was .23".    We got .40" in rain earier today....

This is a timelapse looking SW as the storm passed.  A few claps of thunder.  Also if you slow down my video you can really see how the wind creates small vortices when it comes around terrain.  Looks like a brief spin up as it moves across the field but it is not!

You can definately see the environmental wind shear from the cloud motions at different levels!

I count approx 90 wind reports for New England today.  Not something CoastalWx can just go "MEH!"  LOL.

Looks like we have at least one spinner.  I was thinking 1-2 spinners for the event all along.  As WxWiz said, event about as expected.  Limited CGs makes sense given the low CAPE.  Funny, almost like a cool season event b/c of the high shear/low CAPE and limited LTG!

So a victory for the models and pattern recognition well in advance.
