"Forecasters" ..there were about 100 of us.

I think I mentioned Jerry once.

You are the stubborm one...how does the egg taste...

You anal retentiveness on this point which you have posted uh maybe 35 times in 3 days is indicative of your obsession with being the best forecaster on this board. calling out Jerry time after time because he stated he had never seen a setup like that was snarky and bad Juju. Hopefully it doesn't come back to smack you in the ass.

The same group that was in awe of the most pedestrain nor 'easter known to man.

 

I'm sure Steve will find some data denoting a parking lot in RI reporting its 3rd deepest puddle on record in the 2nd week of December when the landlord wore silk boxers.

hey Charlie  Brown no window watching snow? Sucks huh. I heard it was snowing in Tolland Ct, that must piss you off to no end.

Dr. Cohen updated his AO blog a few days ago and I haven't seen it mentioned. He basically cancels winter. Just kidding, the -AO is still on for the new year. I do question the relevance of October snow cover at this point. It seemingly did its job, but the stratosphere has recovered and the gains on weakening the PV have been wiped out. We now depend on renewed wave driving independent of October snow cover. I digress. The rest of the discussion is good.

What egg ,ski areas all I cared about on this one sonny. Probably the most anomalous setup since Feb 10. not pedestrian at all either.

I agree. Last nights storm was not pedestrian. Abandoned cars in flood waters all over town. Whole streets closed. Basement flooding rivaling 2001. And that's just here. Was it major? No. Extremely disruptive? Hell yeah. Half of my backyard is still under standing water right now.

for an ensemble mean at that timeframe, pretty good signal for a storm around the 21st/22nd too

nice to see, and much nicer to see you back posting here. You are doing a fantastic job with social media. I linked your website to a bunch of my friends and they love your site even though you are Cape Cod centric they love the non hype steadiness.

thats a helluva an island, models had the entire Northern sections +2 to +4 the first 7 days of Dec, every green area you see here was expected to torch relatively speaking but yea its the cutoffs fault, okey dokey

 

 

Steve, it's almost as if you completely forgot these posts:

 

Yeah I'm def not on the extended torch bandwagon. But we may struggle to find a good setup for bigger snow events. We might squeak out a SWFE or something. The one good thing is the best chance of cold in the country in the extended seems to be pointed at New England. Even if the northern plains torch a bit.

I mean, am I going mad? You are now saying I am blaming the cutoff for the colder look in New England through 12/10 despite repeated posts that said New England region could escape the warmth? That is probably one of the dumber comments you've made recently. Maybe you haven't been reading this thread as much as I thought.

 

 

The cutoff is what keeps us from torching 12/10-12/15...not what kept us from torching through the first 10 days.

was a decent storm...but by SNE standards, was far from a big deal, imo. disruptive but we get those all the time.

True but definitely not pedestrian and some places multiple records were set so there's that and the fact its not over. Plus I am talking about the northeast as a whole. Unusual Meteorologically speaking was the original points but some were using it as an excuse to bash, but that's cool we know how they roll.

I was responding directly to your post Will

Yeah we were a localized island that avoided the torch...but that general CONUS torch still verified.

We have had plenty of flooding worse than this since 2001....did you miss the Merrimack swallowing parts of Lowell in May 2006? It was a nor easter with heavy rain...they happen.

2-4" of rain and 60mph winds. It was a good storm, but nothing uncommon. We had 50-55mph and 6" of rain at the end of October. 

next snowstorm with 2-4 liquid equiva and 60 mph winds will be uncommon too if you think about it. In 2010 I had 10 inches of rain with 55 mph winds now that was uncommon

Well those are two different things. You can't evaluate storms on QPF all the time. Apples to oranges when talking rain or snow. We avg more 2-4" rain events than 2-4' snow events.

its all about the snow, point being the original discussion by Jerry was about the met setup, which was twisted into the words epic, historical by the snarky bunch.
