Ryan just had a picture of his hand with hail in it.

Bring it!

C'mon James...you know you want that 934mb bad-ass making a visit to the Cape....just think of how much material you'd have for the Dawn Awakening....it'd be a Non Fiction best seller for you pal.

934 is a Monster anywhere....never mind up at this latitude though. Wow. Let's get this nudged west some..that'd wake up the New England Forum!

Wow...that's even lower than the 937...a 934mb system; can we nudge that west just 75 miles or so?

Euro over modeling the strength of storms again perhaps????

Ya...I was saying earlier to bad it couldn't phase with the trough....dam.

Yup.....that's the benchmark for these parts. A Major upper end Cat 3. Raced right up and over Long Island and smacked head on into CT. Came in so fast it didn't have time to weaken. My Grandfather told me all about it...amazing storm for these parts!! Nobody knew it was coming....imagine that!

Well I guess we can hope that the NAM is on to something......lol

Too bad it won't phase with the trough...and get sucked back West some; that'd be fun. Instead just OTS and the boring weather goes on.

Lmao...was just thinking that exact same thing. Ya too bad we couldn't get a decent hit out of this thing....ahh well.

Absolutely. Everybody is on the "Catastrophic Train" of late....lol. It's real easy to get caught up in the Hype(like lots here do) when that's all you see on the news/weather channel etc etc... And terms like Devastating and Catastrophic become common phrases for things many times that aren't even close to that type of magnitude. What happened in the Bahamas was Catastrophic and what happened in Florence last year was too; and Maria in P.R.; Harvey, Katrina, Andrew, Hugo etc etc....those do deserve the extreme terms put on them. And like you said, the chances of any tropical storm/hurricane hitting north of NC is rare...it happens from time to time as we all know, but it's a rare occurrence, and has a 99% chance of not happening as the Goofus just depicted. But as Weather enthusiasts, it's interesting to entertain the possibilities nonetheless.

Exactly! Let’s bring it on!! Good practice for the upcoming cold season.

Ya that’d be a fun lead up on the boards, if that actually looked to play out like that.

Lol...I meant the lead up..you know 2-3 days before it hits up here. 500 people on at once like when a blizzard is heading for SNE...

Imagine the excitement in here if that ever happened....servers cooked for sure!

Like I said earlier...it snowed very steady and at a good rate(I’d say about an inch per hour) for the whole storm. Started about 5:45 pm and it was over by 5:00 am. A little over 11hours of duration, and 11 inches of snow. No 2”/hr rates here that I saw. If we did..we’d have the 15-16 inches that some got with this one. But if the thing was a slow mover and it snowed for 18-20 hours and we picked up 20”, then that would be a memorable event to me. This wasn’t that unfortunately here.

I agree completely. It was a nice storm..but forgettable is the perfect word for it. But it was a nice ending to a horrible season..glad we scored a decent/significant event.

I know that Ginxy. Last nights wasn’t like either of them here In Southington. Last night was not that impressive here. 11 inches is a good hit..but nothing extraordinary.

We only picked up 11 inches here...good storm for sure, especially for this year. But we didn’t get into the real super heavy rates here like some did. It snowed hard and steady...but nothing to write home about here...nothing like the late January 2011 Beast that came through here. That had blizzard and whiteout conditions with it here; last nights did not. Those of you who came in with 15 and 16 inches with this one congrats!!

Thank you Berg...ya that looks real nice!!

Post it Berg. a tad over 2” here..snowing real good.

Beautifull snow growth/flakes. Upper end moderate now. About 1.5 inches down..maybe a tad more.

Snowgrowth is nice with this. Moderate snow continues. Has that storm look/means business type of look to the falling snow.

Snowing real nice here already. Snow growth is already nice. She’s gonna rock I think!
