ag3 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Agree. If we had a storm like this last March, we would be crying bust. But because we have had nothing all winter/spring long, this seems like it is a big high-impact Nor'Easter. Why bust? Models had this locked in with 2"-3" of rain and that's exactly what we got. And winds were 30mph with gusts to 41+mph. Well modeled system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well modeled system. You know some people will cry bust if it does not give them a blizzard of 1996 or a superstorm 1993 repeat. I should have used a better word.

CoastalWx Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Holy crap LGA 47kts. Sticks out like a sore thumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Very impressive system here..wind really picked up at the tail end. Reminiscent of Irene in the way the bands came in (a result of similar storm track) but winds were not surprisingly nowhere close...nor was the rainfall intensity.

Allsnow Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Looks like the snowstorm to our west was a bust....im sure a small little town will get a decent amount....but for many a huge bust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEater Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Looks like the snowstorm to our west was a bust....im sure a small little town will get a decent amount....but for many a huge bust The bulk of the snow is coming later today and overnight.

TheTrials Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 The bulk of the snow is coming later today and overnight. Little hard to call a bust, 24 hours before it's over. agree strongly. Storm looks to be going exactly as progged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 The snow forecasts for western PA and NY have been dramatically reduced. Meanwhile, posters in places that weren't expecting snow got some overnight. Check out their subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Anyone know where to get a loop of the radar from yesterday morning through today? Or at least an animation that shows the progression of the low and its associated fronts from the Gulf to its current position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I sort of echo the "bummer" sentiments some have here. I was hoping for the storm to move slower so the rainfall could persist longer, and the winds weren't that great, certainly not in comparison to storms like Irene and the 3/13/10 storm. When I left home this morning it was little more than moderately breezy. My 3-5" predictions look overdone due to the quick motion and generally moderate intensity rain. This will certainly put a dent in the drought but it's not the "drought buster" that 4 or 5" of rain could have brought. We're still a fair amount below normal for April if I'm not mistaken.

How can we be a "fair amount below normal" for April? Around 3" for this storm + around 0.75" previously= 3.5"-4" for the month. Normal is 4.5" or so with 8 days to go. I'd say we're right around normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Analog96 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I thought this went as planned and actually impressed with LGA! Pretty much went as planned. I think most places slightly underperformed on the wind, except LGA, which was a very isolated case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 EWR is now above the normal month to date and Central Park is pretty much normal How can we be a "fair amount below normal" for April?

bluewave Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 The strongest winds at LGA came right as the LLJ was maxing out with a flow off the sound which makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
