AdamHLG Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 This was the first winter I started lurking on the Internet for weather. Back then it was IRC channels. Maybe #neweather? I can't recall the lingo but I do remember the 24 hours before this storm. About 12 hours before the storm started, someone posted "3.2 inches qpf - I see it but I can't believe it" I remember that quote exactly as written with a photographic memory because someone else posted "at 10 to 1 ratios that's 32 inches" and I remember my jaw dropping. And then it pretty much went down exactly like that... maybe a few inches short. And just like that I was hooked to the internet weather boards every winter since.

das Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 By the way, this is a great read on the overall event from NOAA (impacts, watches/warnings, maps, meteorological set-up etc.)- if you have never done so - well worth your time: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/assessments/pdfs/bz-mrg.pdf Here's another with the focus on the following floods during the warmup. Incidentally, it's hosted on NOAA's excellent Esri ArcGIS prototype. http://noaa.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html?appid=8ac21bbee3654115a28ba6d46fd8506e Prototype homepage is here: https://noaa.maps.arcgis.com/home/ You have to be a NOAA employee to get a login but there's plenty to see even without a login.
