Momza Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 There was so much excitement and so many posts this past winter, thought it would be fun to "quote" the posts. What post will you remember this winter by? Mine was Wednesday Dec. 23rd, during the PBP, Earthlight's "Tremendous, Tremendous hit. Music to my ears..........

jm1220 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Some of my posts when there was literally zero visibility and ferocious wind despite the actual falling snow rate being subpar could qualify (on 12/26). Even the next day well after the snow stopped we had wind gusts well over 40 mph. For 1/25, just the amazement of watching the snow come down so hard for so long was incredible. What I lacked in snowfall rate on 12/26 I made up in spades on 1/25. Must have easily been 4"/hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersWx92 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 It stalled about 5 miles west of mine. Yeah but at least you got the backside of the storm as it went away. I only got 9 inches, while a short 25-30 minute drive to my NE got 30''+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. As powerful as the storm was, the really mammoth effects were over a fairly small area. Boston area didn't get hit anywhere near as hard as us, and west of Philly had zero. It probably hit the Delmarva and Norfolk just as hard as eastern New England. Montauk I think only had 5 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, which is why, taking overall impact and areal coverage into consideration, it can never really be compared to the Blizzard of '96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooL Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Any reason why the precip shield blew in comparison to other coastal storms? It was either banding or nothing with that monster. Maybe because there was no nino southern jet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Any reason why the precip shield blew in comparison to other coastal storms? It was either banding or nothing with that monster. Maybe because there was no nino southern jet? one of my arguments as to why this wasn't a HECS. It simply didn't affect a large enough area. Historic New York Metro storm, I'll give you that one. There was nothing historic about it IMBY minus the crazy winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTrials Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 12Z NAM/GFS EVALUATION INCLUDING PRELIMINARY PREFERENCES ...SPLIT SHORTWAVE TROUGHS EXTENDING OVER THE PLAINS/MIDWEST... ...LOW PRESSURE FORMING ALONG THE EAST COAST THROUGH MONDAY... PREFERENCE: EQUAL BLEND OF THE 06Z GFS/00Z ECMWF OR THE ENSEMBLE MEANS INITIALIZATION ERRORS IN NUMEROUS DIAGNOSTIC QUANTITIES...INCLUDING HEIGHT/VORTICITY FIELDS/RH...ARE EVIDENT IN BOTH THE 12Z NAM/GFS WITH SMALL BUT LIKELY SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE TROUGHS OVER SOUTH DAKOTA/NEBRASKA ALONG WITH SASKATCHEWAN/MANITOBA...WITH THESE AREAS ALSO NOT PARTICULARLY RESOLVED OR PREDICTED WELL BY THE 00Z ECMWF. THUS...THE SPECIFIC PREDICTIONS BY ALL DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE ARE IN QUESTION...WITH THE RECOMMENDATION TO FOLLOW CONTINUITY...WITH THE FINAL OUTCOME MOST BELIEVED TO LIE BETWEEN THE 06Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF...WITH ALL ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE INCLUDING THE SREF MEAN/GEFS MEAN/ECMWF ENSEMBLE MEAN ALSO CONSIDERED USEFUL TO ADDRESS THE CONTINUED UNCERTAINTY. THIS APPROACH DISREGARDS THE SUBSTANTIALLY DEEPER AND WESTWARD SHIFT OF THE 12Z GFS REGARDING THE POWERFUL LOW TRACKING UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD...AND TO A LESSER EXTENT THE 12Z NAM WHICH LIES NEAR THE FAST EDGE OF THE GUIDANCE WITH THE DEVELOPING LOW.

MJO812 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 HPC didn't say anything about the 0z GFS run on the 23rd where it shifted west. The 12z GFS wasn't the only model that shifted way west. The RSM,SREF,JMA and FIM also shifted west. The 12z Euro ensembles didn't agree with the op run at all on Christmas Eve. All the members were right inside the BM.
