Go Kart Mozart

I get that feeling when I realize eastern New England is getting pounded, and I'm like Gary Sanchez with the golden sombrero.

I have no recollection of that storm...but I love it!

Merry Norlun Christmas!

The trap rock ridges along I91 too. Pretty cool.

In 77, I came home for Christmas break, and Westport was not yet on the scoreboard...0" to date. Meanwhile, SBN was at 54" when I left, and ended at 180" for the season. I can remember my sophmore year getting 100" in SBN, and thinking...this winter sucks!

78 was my freshman year at college, so I missed those two great storms, but no complaints, I was in SBN for the Cleveland Super Bomb. I became weather-aware in the late 60s, and here is what I remember of double digit snow storms in SWCT (Westport): Lindsay storm Xmas night 69, we hit 10" when the occluded front crossed us, that went on to be VT's biggest ever, I believe. Two in 78, which I missed. April 82 February 83 Super Storm of 93 Things changed after that, and double digit storms became common faire for the next 25 years.

Keep your eyes on the GOM/SE coast, after the cutter:

76-77. Pack from Thanksgiving onward, maybe a few brief gaps. The thing is, we never had a lot of snow on the ground, but it was insanely cold that winter. I can remember walking to my junior high school by crossing the ice on the mighty Saugatuck. The Saugatuck in Westport is a tidal estuary, so normally it's a suicidal crossing. But in 76-77 you could have driven a car across. I believe Chesapeake Bay froze solid that year.

How did Phin do?

Rain mixed with golf balls right now, Westport, CT

50/50 mix in Westport, at sea level, even when the precip is relatively light! You folks to the north and northeast are gonna get pounded

Tremendous diffluence in the left exit region of the southern jet. What a bomb this is gonna be.

More northern stream interaction too

Euro with the over-amped, leftward bias for what, 5 years now?

Let's all move to Indiana

I am banking on hour 330 of this morning's GFS

Don't make fun of Sheldon.

That GFS depiction is concerning....oh wait, Eversource will be on it!

A lot of downerism here. You guys are still very much in the ballgame. I was in SBN for the 78 super-bomb. This set-up is similar but lacking the arctic blast. I am rooting for you!

You're right Leo. -EPO will not lead to a return of La Nina.

It's funny to read the Midwesterners in their forum freaking out over the model flip-flops. Right now, Euro stands alone with the blizzard scenario. We can tell them a thing or two about how that movie ends.

Have I been asleep for three months? Why is it bowling ball season?

oh yes!

I agree. Cutters precede coastals. You have to crack a few eggs to make an omelet!
