40/70 Benchmark Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 We've been skunked for a while now.Yup. Regardless of the patten and how great it was, Bouchard was right. I got croaked for saying I expected a 2013 comeback and it was much bigger, and for drawing an analogy to a 2011 like quiesecence from mid Feb on, and it's been worse. A- on the season.

I'll have to give it an A here still thoughThere is always luck involved in any call since the atmosphere is utter chaos. You have to incorporate your "gut" into it. I agree it was an A on the south shore.....but imo a season can't get an A plus with such a protracted and miserable cold, dry, rainy back 7 weeks.

Damage In Tolland Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Sounds like a wild next 12-18 hours on tap. Thunderstorms, wind, graupel, snow..Spring VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES MOVE IN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING MAINLY ACROSS N CT/RI/SE MA /ON ORDER OF 9.5 TO 10.5C/KMFROM ABOUT 950 TO 800 HPA AND AROUND 7C/KM IN THE MID LEVELS/. NAMMOST ROBUST WITH THE INSTABILITY...WITH TT/S IN THE MID AND EVENUPPER 50S AND TQ/S AROUND 20. GFS ALSO HAS THIS THOUGH NOT ASHIGH. WITH SUCH SHARP LAPSE RATES AND MILDER TEMPS S OF WHERE THEFRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL...COULD SEE SPOTTY ELEVATED CONVECTIONDEVELOP. HAVE MENTIONED ISOLD THUNDER DURING THE AFTERNOON ACROSSPORTIONS OF N CENTRAL CT/RI/S COASTAL MA. WITH THE COLDER AIRALOFT AND IF ANY STEADIER PRECIP MOVES ACROSS...COULD SEE BRIEFGUSTY WINDS AND POSSIBLY EVEN SOME GRAUPEL /SOFT HAIL OR SNOWPELLETS/ MAY FALL.FRONT LOOKS TO STALL AROUND THE MASS PIKE BY EVENING...SO BESTINSTABILITY REMAINS S OF THE FRONT. HOWEVER...NEAR AND N OF THEFRONT...EVAPORATIVE COOLING WILL ALLOW COLDER AIR TO MIX DOWNESPECIALLY ACROSS THE E SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES AS WELL AS THEWORCESTER HILLS. SO...COULD SEE PRECIP MIX WITH OR CHANGE TO SNOWLATE IN THE DAY. COULD ALSO SEE BRIEF GUSTY WINDS WITH ANYSTEADIER PRECIP ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN.EXPECT TEMPS TO RANGE FROM AROUND 40 ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN/OCCURRING EARLY BEFORE PRECIP MOVES IN/ TO AROUND 50 ACROSSSOUTHERN AREAS.&&.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...TONIGHT...PRECIP CONTINUES ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT. CONTINUEDMENTION OF ISOLD THUNDER ACROSS S COASTAL AREAS THROUGH AROUNDMIDNIGHT AS STEEP LAPSE RATES AND ELEVATED INSTABILITY LINGERS.WILL ALSO SEE LIGHT RAIN AND/OR SNOW SHOWERS FALLING. TEMPS AREBORDERLINE...BUT COULD SEE MIXED PRECIP MOVE S INTO INTERIOR SEMA/N RI/N CT AFTER MIDNIGHT. TOTAL QPF EXPECTED IS ONLY 0.1 TO 0.2INCHES TOTAL FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT AND...WITH TEMPSONLY FALL BACK TO THE UPPER 20S ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN TO THELOWER-MID 30S FOR MOST OTHER AREAS...WILL BE TOUGH TO ACCUMULATEMUCH IN THE WAY OF SNOW EXCEPT MAYBE WELL INLAND ACROSS GRASSYSURFACES.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 What did this Bouchard character say? After the February 15th storm he said we were done with big storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 What did this Bouchard character say? He said no more nor'easters based off a GFS run. Meanwhile, he said the V-Day storm was out to sea (oopsie) and the Cape has had like 20+" since no more nor'easters. The same guy who said the only thing we had to worry about during the Dec 2008 icestorm was black ice. So now, after emotions and frustrations take over...some people have the need to give someone like that who makes reckless calls "props." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same guy who said the only thing we had to worry about during the Dec 2008 icestorm was black ice. So now, after emotions and frustrations take over...some people have the need to give someone like that who makes reckless calls "props." Yeah, its all relative to a given location I guess. I mean I could say that someone who called for way above normal snowfall for all of the northeast was wrong because that's not true up here, haha. I guess it depends on the context...if he was saying, well we are done with 100" in 3 weeks type storms, then he was right. If it was we are done with snow all together, then its wrong haha. But in general yeah, I have a hard time giving credit to huge blanket statements way out in time that no one could ever really know. Its like when at Day 7 all the models show a cutter and DIT calls for a SNE snowstorm, just because that's what he does. We don't give him credit for throwing that dart in the right direction, lol.

Hey look with all due respect..he's a big market OCM and had a good career. But for me being a met and knowing how things work, I have trouble agreeing with some of those reckless calls. We all agreed that crazy period was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonWX Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 He most likely meant we were done with nor easters in the short term "the pipeline". He put that statement out for ratings in all likely hood , but I'm sure he didn't mean no more snow for the entire winter but left it purposefully amgibguous in case the outcome was realized. We all know that's petes style, he's done this in the past. In this case, he'll look like a god to 99% of his viewers and to network management which is all I'm saying.

CoastalWx Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Well in any case, despite the majority ready for flip flops and hammocks...it's not in the cards and I still think it's an interesting setup for some on this board despite my backyard probably not seeing much of anything.
