  1. Nice job Tip... Perfect visualization of this type of a classic swfe / overrunning event. I miss seeing these +pp forced events... Good winters of yore used to feature several of these...
  2. If this forum starts requiring logic, it might just die... lol ... Not sure you will find that concept in your average Meteorology text...
  3. Looking at the soundings for CT, it appears the GFS is the only model saturating the low levels; The 18z Euro keeps the low levels relatively dry right through the event?
  4. I'd be wary, in fact I am very wary about any 2-inch rain events... Not impressed with Thursday / Friday setup, but will give it another day... more interested in next week... we are in somewhat of a pattern change relative to past storm tracks (cutters) and available cold air masses, so I would continue to watch next week closely...
  5. Mod/hvy snow squall in Burlington, CT
  6. I would keep it in the 1 to 3 or 2 to 4 inch range right now. Would prefer to nudge it up if need be later than have to chop it back...
  7. Maybe some of the stronger gusts will be embedded in the squalls, but there is enough CAA / gradient winds to make it gusty much of the day. Lots of dead trees out there just looking for a reason to fall... Had 2 trees come down in town already when winds started to crank this afternoon... we've had multiple gusts into the mid 30's and just recorded a 40 mph gust.
  8. Completely agree with bolded... While I'm not a big poster, I do enjoy reading many of the treads, but the BS has gotten just so overwhelming!!! Some very sad lifestyles out there
  9. Like most major decisions, it was made in conjunction with NWS folks and emergency management leaders... It really is not even about the game perse; it's about the safety of having thousands of travelers on the road and no way to get to them... Folks have short memories about how many people died last year in the Buf blizzard. I'd love to see a game in blizzard conditions, but it's the big picture more than the game....
  10. That's what I think of all the time... I don't doubt Tip's velocity / compression issues, but I do wonder why there "appears" to be less of an impact on the Midwest bomb events. Now I may be completely wrong,and I've really studied it, but it's just a general sense I get from watching multiple potent Midwest cutters over the last few years.
  11. What I find a bit distressing and it's happening more and more, is the small number of posters who have no desire to enjoy the meteorological setups right in front of them, but instead look for ways to post negative predictions about what it looks like 10 days to 2-weeks down the road. I'm ok with general pattern comments about the extended range period, but for a small handful of folks it's a constant harang of negative ball-busting vibes...
  12. It was a great storm... Forecasting was excellent... But sleet was a limiting factor for some... Great triple phaser...
  13. Again.. you said 2+ feet!!! The vast majority of the "Northeast" did not get 2+ feet... Pretty obvious on the graphic below...
  14. The "whole Northeast" is a non-starter! The nature / structure of Northeast winter storms makes that almost impossible!!! Region-wide 2+ snowfalls are literally impossible to pull off...
  15. Road closures across Fairfield County in CT causing delay issues with some districts...
  16. First step to recovery is admitting you have problem... Good first step... Lol
  17. After a burst of early afternoon snow and sleet, freezing rain has been ongoing since 2 pm in the high elevations of Burlington, CT... 1,100+ ft. driveway a sleet of ice; icicles handing from the mailbox... 31 degrees
  18. 9.5" here in Burlington, CT... 1,140'... Some 2' drifts.
  19. I have it up and auto refreshing on one of my monitors. By the Walt emailed me this morning to let me know banding page was back on...
