Trying to recall the last big snow event that had such a high upside for wind for so many areas.  The Dec 2005 was pretty limited in area iirc.

I would not oppose retiring them at this point. At least in New England, they don’t have a lot of utility to a forecaster.

Check out this weenie warm seclusion too

The comparisons are decent; with the explosive deeping of the 500 mb trough, intense 850 low passing south of SNE a bit further south than in 78, great easterly moisture inflow north of the 850; both have classic "S" shaped 850 isotherms as well as signs slowing down and attempt at capture of surface system.  The sfc layout shows the classic banana shaped high with the surface low embedded same as 78; the 78 high was ~1048 mb, this one is a bit stronger ~ 1051 mb; almost exact locations.  So, overall, similar sfc and upper level layouts; not identical, but pretty dam close.  Sfc and upper level features are a tad further south this time.

 

Yes certainly.  I think what separates 78 from the rest was the convection. I had a severe storm for 5 hours of pure whiteout highlighted by constant pink lightning. This allowed insane winds and snow to be transported down into the hardest windpack I have ever been in. Nothing has topped that but 22 is 2nd

Ultimately, I would really like to start seeing more signals for a pivot and maintaining of this intense fronto to really get excited and hopeful for widespread 18-24" but its more a quick south to north push and then it kind of fizzles. I think though there are signals which argue for that to occur and I wouldn't totally expect models to accurately handle this right now. But anyways...it is going to be absolutely epic for some hours. 

18z NAM

Wiz those are all time panels like 6 an hour in convection. Check out the marginal for CT coast can you say 2013 with its 9 per hour band. Yeah that's what those panels remind me of

Good Point, however they may have to put their phones down first!

My 8 year old grandson asked me if the January storm was the most I ever saw   So I explained 78 on the SRI coast.  At the time I thought nothing of it but then realized I had asked my Dad the same thing in January 78 he said no 1960 . 3 weeks later was the Blizzard of 78. Full circle moment ?

We have alot of experience with Blizzards over the years. Will be cool for younger ones who have not to see it.

Here is your back bent WF on euro. Goes from center of H7 low and curls near ack and off Chatham. Can see that on the kinks of the height lines. 
 

on the 3k Nam check out that moisture train feeding into SNE. The real mid level dynamics verbatim on this snap shot are in NJ, but that is a pure gravy train on the 3k Nam. Eventually you do get the mid level forcing, but with such a deep cutoff…that moisture train looks impressive. 
 

it’s just something I noticed. There will still be deformation bands etc. 

 

 

Winds over 100 mph near that center on 3k
