New London's 4th highest tide level since 1890 or something was from that storm.

Did you check out the USGS link I sent you, some real cool data from the 1000 plus temporary tide stations they set up in front of Sandy. Niantic Bay surge was pretty neat, funnel effect. You can see why Staten Island took such a beating, perfectly lined up with winds and seas for max surge, one data point had 16 feet another 15.5 on SI

This is most interesting

Associated with the strong circulation around the Low

at 500 mb., significant warming at that level occurred to

the east and north of the Low center. The temperature

at Goose, Labrador, rose more than 8' C. from 1500

GMT, November 24, to 1500 GMT, November 26, while

the height rose almost 850 feet. Since the advection of

warm air in the vicinity of 500 mb. would cause the surface

pressure to fall (other factors being unchanged) it is

necessary to look elsewhere for a cause of the rising surfhce

pressures and 500-mb. heights. A study of the 2OO-mh.

charts shows that associated with the southerly circulation

over the east coast, the temperature at that level: over

Goose, Labrador, fell almost. 15O C. from, 1500 .;GMT,

November 24, to 1500 GMT, November 26, whjl~s, thb

height rose more than 1,000 feet. Apparently the move-

ment of relatively colder and heavier air in the strato-

sphere over the Labrador region compensated for the

relatively warmer and lighter air, brought in around 590

mb. and allowed the surface pressure to remain about -the

same. Thus the circulation of the Low itself influenced

its future movement by contributing to the maintenance

of the blocking High.

HM must have a tingle in his loins when he sees the winds progged to go near neutral and even weakly reverse above 70N..and in between 30-50mb. Those waves are doing their job at the moment.

LOL

Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone by the way. Yes the stratospheric trends make me more interested in January and February than December. ... not to dismiss the upcoming periods of winter which will kick ass.

Well AAWT..almost as we thought. We needed squalls/snow showers for that

Yeah I'm not surprised at a few stray flurries. The moisture wasn't there though for WINDEX squalls...also lifting mechanism wasn't great. Maybe we'll get another chance with the cold shot next week.

Nice to see some flakes blowing around there as we rig up the lights on the tree. It was cold out there in the hills on the tree farm this morning..
