CoastalWx Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 This is pretty amazing Norwell Mass from Twitter Yeah like I said, wooded areas down there have kept it good. That seems like an awful lot still despite me not being there since Easter. Was that today? Tough to get accurate accounts in dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 This should be fun for the climate change alarmists when we start getting storms again. 40% fewer landfalls last 50 yrs. Wait until pre 1960 comes back. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/wp/2015/04/09/quieter-than-normal-atlantic-hurricane-season-predicted/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whineminster Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Hopefully we get a great severe season and many HHH days, and a cane in late august to top it off. That would make 2015 probably the all-time greatest weather year ever recorded in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make 2015 probably the all-time greatest weather year ever recorded in history. Be hard to top 1976 (my 1st year in Ft. Kent). --minus 41 on Jan 12, welcome to northern Maine --957 mb storm on Feb 2 with howling winds (blew Penobscot estuary into BGR, drowning 200 cars), temp fell 44 to -6 in 6 hr. --March 19-20, temp rises from -25 to 50 in 33 hr. --96F on Easter (in NNJ while visiting family) --May 7, 1.5" snow in 45 minutes while I tilled the garden. --Aug 9-10, remainder of Belle dumps 6" RA, most between 6-10 PM, major washouts. --Woods roads freeze up in late Oct, earliest in (my) memory --Dec 26-27, 24" snowfall; Dec 29-30, 12" snowfall as we drove NJ-Maine. Our VW Beetle was merely a white lump in the p.lot when we got back. 61.5" in Dec, my snowiest month ever. Jury is still out, however, with most of the year to go. We had little svr in 1976.

CoastalWx Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Maine severe is all about latitude and dynamics .,always closer to the s/w NNE in general has more continental airmass (less marine effect) and closer to the westerlies in the summer which means better forcing aloft. So, you can substitute a bit less CAPE and get nailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The Springfield Tor day originally rt 2 was forecast to have some of the best stuff so I hit the road in that direction. An early cell looked like it might drop a spinner but it didn't happen so I traveled south toward Worcester. Two cells approaching for the west and taking gas use into account I picked the closer cell. It ended up going pretty much right over my head and I was tornado warned. Rotating wall cloud too. However, it never touched down and the rest is history in Springfield. Stinks because I probably would have got some ridiculous footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cell just north of the cell responsible for the Springfield tornado had its inflow cut-off by the dominant cell to the south. I also remember the rotating meso going overhead as that cell weakened. And yes, that cell was tor warned and looked pretty impressive about 30 mins before going through the ORH area. too bad the Springfield tor cell was the dominate one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Obviously this isn't representative of every yard, but still some with a good deal of snow cover. Dam impressive for Napril 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure I'll just use the Tip slogan...."trust me, I'm a meteorologist" if they question me. I don't think there is anything illegal about it but it probably depends on what the pics are for. From my experiences people are usually understanding. When taking storm damage photos if I see the people outside I'll introduce myself tell them what I'm doing and what they are for. When I tel then they are for skywarn and used for the program in the NWS people find it cool. Only thing I've ever had was a request to block out the address if it's shown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is some pretty crazy snow OTG for entering mid-April. I'm near some spots that hold snow better than others, and its always interesting to see how long it lasts, haha.

CoastalWx Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Curious as to how tomorrow works out. I'm leaning crappy for a chunk of the region, esp near BOS.
