Yummy.... Gets me excited... Favorite memory was the first picture.. Heaviest snow I had seen in my entire life... Sad that twice last winter only to be trumped later on in the winter by this storm.. Awesome to be walking around at 4AM when the plows had abandoned plowing the side streets entering Broadway and the streets were completely impassable.

This has been such an awfully boring pattern. Just put me in a coma until Thanksgiving.

funny I say this same thing every october.

but at least october offers the potential for elevation snows in especially vt//nh/maine since above 2500k in central /NNE new england is bascially 50 days ahead (toward winter) of where we are in SNE

I can only think of 3 or 4 sou'easters that have ever lived up to there expectations. It takes the perfect set of circumstances for it to happen.

Did anybody ever do a post storm analysis of that screaming soueaster in winter 2010. The one that transversed up the Cape to mid coast Maine and caused all the damage all the way back to Dendrite. The STS the other day in CapeCav reminded me very much of that storm.

That storm was in a different location and was more a nor'easter...well at least east winds.

I guess when I refer to a sou'easter, I'm thinking more of an inside runner.

I have some data saved from that event I think. Limited stuff.

Yea not a soueaster but a closed tight core system. Remember the peak gusts to 92 in the bay of Maine. I was just wondering if there was ever a post mortem. That was one impressive storm with Baro wind temp traces very much looking warm core.

I think what helped that storm too...was the fact it retrograded pretty quickly as it deepened. Forward momentum + pressure gradient = windy.

I'll have to see if I have any of those 850 wind progs. I think they had close to 100kts at 850 from the ese.

There were a couple in autumn in one of the late 90's yrs..maybe even back to back..where we ripped well over 60. Maybe even another in 2000 or 2001 I recall.

In '96 we had 2 of them that caused some damage around my area. Gusts to 60-70. We had another one near Christmas in 1999 I think where I lost power. Another one was the famous Jan 2006 wind storm. Those were some of the strongest winds that I can remember. Probably as much tree damage as Irene caused....bare trees no less. See...in that storm we actually had some breaks of sun during the day to help mix the winds down. It ended with a big bang low top squall line.
