Typhoon Tip Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I remember a lot of cutters in November. There was probably a coastal in there as well. We had one minor snow event of about 2". I don't recall many in October, but that doesn't mean we didn't have them. The storms seemed to shift east over time though. We had a weak coastal on Dec 3, 1992 that brought snow about a week before the big one. There was a crazy Cape Ann to Down East Maine wind event spun up by a tight super nuke that detonated at a higher latitude - this was a few days after TG. I remember seeing the hi res vis loop and it was pretty amazing how fast that thing was spinning. There were 70mph wind gust on Cape Ann I think - check that. It was just a nick job though and there wasn't much wind west and S of Cape Ann. Then a couple days later there was a 2-5" snow fall that came in at night. That melted off pretty quickly to bare ground. Then all hell broke loose from the 10th to the 11th. That's still one of my all time very best fave events. I remember seeing undulations in the skies, and studying those billows billowing by while sheets of big drop rain pelted one's eyes (Lowell Mass), you could almost ...perhaps applying imagination, see that the billows had dotted definition - it really was quite the impression that you were looking at the melt layer a mere 900 feet or so off the ground. I later came to realized, that pretty much exactly what I was seeing. That's ...fantastic. That was about 3:30pm - I had no idea that the hills west of 495 were taking hourly snow totals like Homer Simpson on a forced doughnut eating machine. I once wrote up a whole anecdotal story about that fabled evening - Jerry encouraged me to turn it into a book. I wonder whatever happened to that piece - oh, it was lost when Eastern had a database melt down. Those windy sheets of cold rain helped turn day to night. I was living on the 8th floor of Fox Tower back then (UML). Can't believe that was 20 years - wow. There are contributing members of society alive today that have no f clue what went on that night. Interesting. Around 8 or 8:30, I was just keying the door to my dorm, and as I cracked it open, just then a brilliant flash of lightning permeated the room from the window. I quickly hastened through the door, and the nerd in me instinctively closed the door quietly so as not to drown out the cacophony of the thunder. Boom -ba-ba-boom boom boom! I rushed to the window, and that is where to this day I saw one of the most fantastic sights. The sky and the earth met some 1/4 mile away awash in butterscotch biased white. Yet, rain still swathed at the glass I peered through. This abyssal kind of surface was coming closer about the same speed as an Olympic runner, and I watched cars disappear into it, trees and other edifices seemed to be swallowed and vanished. I still didn't connect in the instant what that was, my expression undoubtedly mutated between awe, fascination, and a kind of fear really. The building's sways by the force of these thumping gusts of wind partied on. 2 minutes later it was clear what that visage was. SNOW. I had never before, nor never since witness a transition of phase states in the column go from one state to the other, with the rapidity it do so that night. Simply astounding! It was literally and non-superlatively a matter of about 3 seconds to pass from almost all rain to very heavy wind driven snow that lowered visibility to an 1/8th of a mile. I have always wondered what the temperature did across that boundary - was it 37, then 32, snap of the fingers? It didn't take long after that. By 11:30pm there was already 5" inches of perfect snow ball making snow that even began to blow off of rooftops indicating the air temperature was probably settling through the upper 20s. Students were playfully rioting in these masses snow ball fights. We're talking all out counter intelligence strategic initiative military stuff, too. Dorm hall vs dorm hall in epic wars. The next morning there was 15" and the visibility was still under a mile. The wind gusted and the snow drifted the entire day, but I don't think there was much more than an additional 3" accumulation. What a strange, strange year. I am sure it must have snowed, but I don't recall it doing much so until March 11th, 1993. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 lol at the snowball fights. I took part in a few Smith Hall (RIP) vs Fox/Leetch/Bougus around 1989-1990 I barely recall the Dec 1992 event. Mostly the aftermath of helping neighbors dig out cars, walking to the packy... I was living behind Olsen Hall for that in a gross apartment. 20 years does fly by... In March, some buddies of mine and I flew across country to ski at Whistler/Blackcomb just ahead of the Superstorm. Took over 24 hours to get across country...

dryslot Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Another nice ens run here, but way too early to get the hopes up. If it ends up all rain, no biggie. Early November is too early for meltdowns. Excellent point, I will wait until Jan if there is no snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Wait 12z Euro shows a storm? Lol I haven't even looked at a model run thin 3 days. A week ago I could barely concentrate on anything around me because the tension of waiting for the 18z Nogaps to come out was occupying my entire mind.

Anyone making specific forecasts this far out is srs insane...What meteorologists should do is aware the public on the possible tracks based on what varying cpu models are currently showing.

Mr Torchey Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 You are going to absolutely lose it around November 20. Its going to be a tough November after the Archie event next week, mega torch.......but I honestly do think its an average winter, perhaps a touch above inland. After last winter, it will seem like snowapalooza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
