ORH_wxman Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Dare we say the GFS and its Ensm schooled the other Globals? I also did not post them until yesterday but the SREFs were not impressed either with this storm. Impacts for majority of runs were limited to Cape/ Islands. Yeah SREFs were actually decent. They never really bought massive Cape totals and they did not buy the potential moderate amounts into SE MA near 95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of us, including myself, thought it being a miss was a good thing lol thinking it will come nw eventually... And it pretty much never wavered. That met on FB still thinks its terrible with big east coast storms. Sure it sucked with Nemo but its not has bad as that expert says it is.

GFS has largely struggled with EC snowstorms over the years...this was a recent exception. It was horrific last year (don't forget the absolute catastrophe it was in the firehose event either), but it hasn't had a bad winter this year. Though it vomited all over itself in the Feb 15 event.

SouthCoastMA Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The GFS really only went overboard in 3-5 day range with the Feb 18th event that ended up grazing us. Most other threats it showed as missing us ended up doing so, it seems. The Euro was the one over amping Edit: Maybe I meant Feb 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I remember that. Just when you thought the solutions were too crazy, it would come in even more powerful the next run. This happened for like a full day of runs. It was showing an all out blizzard for the eastern half of southern new england Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambone Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 So where does this storm end up? Does it head north into Greenland and die? Does it make to the British Isles for yet another blast there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't trust it consistently... it completely botched the 2/13 snow blitz down here right up until game time (I think 24-36 hours out it had a period of light snow).

nzucker Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 So where does this storm end up? Does it head north into Greenland and die? Does it make to the British Isles for yet another blast there? Heads north to Greenland and weakens as it occludes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCHurricane Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 115+ mph gusts out across the Gulf of Maine... That's nothing to mess with. Frequent gusts to 60 here in Hyannis on the Cape. Seems like 75-80 mph gusts were reached towards the outer Cape and Nantucket. As far as snow goes, who knows. Impossilbe to get any type of legitimate measurements due to drifting.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I was not impressed with the CMC this storm...it continually had precip too far west with moderate snows to I-95 save maybe a couple runs. The NAM was actually the winner once we got within 48h showing the sharper cutoff...even defeating the Euro on this aspect...though it was too heavy out on the Cape in the very short term. Maybe I'm jaded as I always tend to focus on about the .5 line in these situations and didn't really look too much further NW than that but definitely see what you're saying. Nothing was terrible. Given the dance this system performed they were really pretty good. Disappointing, but not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Oh boy, continued effects of this windy day 298 Beacon St Boston fire with people trapped. Hope they make it out OK. It's a bad one, wind is putting them in trouble, people on engine 33 are putting out a mayday. Hopefully they can get this under control http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/497/web It sounds desperate OMG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainePhotog Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Close but no cigar The Sagadahoc Bridge has been the cut off point in this storm. The snow would approach the area and then run into a brick wall. Humidity levels at home have been in th 42-48% range. While I'm looking at an occasional flake of snow, Damariscotta and Wiscassett have been cashing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Flurries, gusty winds to 30, temps in the 20s with blowing snow off the rooftops in town.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Glad they got everyone out. I was just out and about, the obs from around here are fine. It's 2" roughly in south Plymouth maybe 3" by about the canal. AIT. Really not a big deal and will be gone in short order. Very little wind damage - mainly because we've shaken everything loose already this winter. NBD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
