CoastalWx Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I figured we can make a thread to talk about our favorite storms and perhaps share any model runs, surface analysis, radar pics, pictures that you may have..etc. It does not have to be a blockbuster either. It's always fun seeing the old radar images from past storms (small or large), and to hear the different takes that people have. I'll start with a fun one for my backyard. Weak low, but H7 low in a good spot for mid level frontogenesis and deformation band as seen in the radar shot below. http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/current/mcview.phtml?prod=usrad&java=script&mode=archive&frames=18&interval=10&year=2003&month=2&day=7&hour=12&minute=0 BOS 15 UTC 1/2 SM SN SNINCR 1/ 2 BOS 16 UTC 1/2 SM SN SNINCR 1/ 3 BOS 17 UTC 1/2 SM SN SNINCR 2/ 4 BOS 18 UTC 1/4 SM +SN SNINCR 2/ 6 BOS 19 UTC 1/4 SM +SN SNINCR 2/ 8 BOS 20 UTC 1/4 SM +SN SNINCR 2/10 BOS 21 UTC 1/4 SM SN SNINCR 1/10 BOS didn't get into the meat of the band either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, yeah if you want to kill a couple hours really quickly, spend some time reading through that stuff. I did that one night this past summer...just crack a cold one and live vicariously through the posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that one night this past summer...just crack a cold one and live vicariously through the posts. I was hoping to see of people had some cool images, whether it's radar, personal pics, or event accounts for storms from the past. I know some people have goodies saved from back in the day. Even present day stuff from the last decade would be great. I just like looking back at old storms and seeing the different accounts people have.

ORH_wxman Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 That looks more than 9.6" from the sidewalk view. Looks like a foot. There's a ruler in the snow where the shoveled path ends. Without that reference though, yeah, I could see how it could look like a foot or even a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
