40/70 Benchmark Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I enjoyed 1992-1993 despite it not being a huge winter. I estimate maybe 65-70" where I was in Brockton. Solid winter and broke the back of the garbage years. The gradient literally was near my head though. How much did you get in 12/14/92? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthCoastMA Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Yeah, I hate that logic. My point was that I don't think the overall pattern (gradient) typically favors the Cape area. Everyone always says that you can have great patterns and get nothing in return. Well, specifically for the Cape, I think it was the opposite..getting a coastal to form SE of the benchmark in a SWFE type of pattern. Hopefully all areas will continue to cash in, specifically NNE.

CoastalWx Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 How much did you get in 12/14/92? You mean 12/11-12/12? Ugh talk about ripping a scab off..lol. 6" of paste then drizzle/dryslot while 6 miles NW of me had over 15". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys had the big coastal storm at the end of January 2008 amid a sh*tty pattern there too. Sometimes it happens and is the reason why a place even like ACK can average similar amounts of snow as you do. Longitude FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 The GGEM also shows the storm, just like the Euro and GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan didn't do too hot either, but just west did. I mean literally a finger tip away from my house got over a foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally shed tears...I am man enough to admit it. I suffered for years with sh*tty winters and thought this was the one storm for me. What a kick in the nads. At least the rest of the winter made up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Godfather movie? Can't say I ever watched all the movies all the way thru. Probably bits and pieces of them so I wouldn't know any names or references. Chalk up the GGEM for us. See if we can pull something out of our arse for next week.

Brian5671 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Nice GEFS run actually. Not really cold, but looked stormy.

eduggs Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 About half fo the GEFS members have the storm to one degree or another on Jan 15-16. It has me interested. Unfortunately the OP run is one of the best depictions of the bunch. And the inter and intra model differences signal lots of run to run changes ahead. But the amplitude and position of the trof give this threat some potential. I was a little bummed about a lengthy period of untrackable weather. That has changed.

CoastalWx Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Euro has a cutter that sharpens the trough up so much, the follow up wave delivers a decent hit after 00z on the 16th. Definitely not a pattern that gives much room for error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
