March 26th Snowstorm - continued discussion and observations

yeah i was just checking that out...kinda seems far from the low center for those type of winds.  Also, incredibly gusty for an open water wind.  

 

Yeah I'm tossing those wind reports, doesn't add up. The Eastern Maine Shelf  buoy not that far away (also 4 m anemometer height) is reporting 40 kts at the same time. I could maybe believe one of the C-MAN stations like Mount Desert or Matinicus (anemometer height of 23 m) doing something close to that, but not a buoy. 120 mph is hard to do.

Radar showing stronger echoes backing in on eastern Washington Cty, but by 1-2 PM the highest reports were in the 2" range down there, so I'm guessing the totals will fall well short of the forecast 12-18.  Winds are as predicted, so it must be pretty wild there anyway.  The 100+ reports off the coast might be the strongest I've noted since the Groundhog Day storm that drowned downtown BGR in 1976.  A coastal location (Deer Isle?  Seal Harbor?) clocked something like 115 that day.  CAR pressure fell to 957 just ahead of the cf.

 

AUG has been gusting into the 40s all afternoon; snowcrust is immovable but lots of dust clouds from a winter of sanding the parking lots.  Have not seen a flake.  awt

lol.

That's it?

Goodbye?

You're out of here?

 

I don't do the summer stuff need a break.  Will pop back if another one of these late seasons pops up.   I'm going to take a ride down and check out the north beaches this evening on in the morning, curious I bet there's breaches if I see anything good will photograph/report back if not enjoy the summer CF and all.

Great posts everyone... wasn't able to post all day but loved the obs and analysis.

 

I'm completely in awe of this storm. Fascinating evolution and lots of meteorology learning.

 

Would have been one of eastern MA's most spectacular blizzards with a track just 100 miles further west.

 

My fav:
