I'm actually re-reading the thread and I'm not sure which model shit the bed first but they all ended up doing it. The gfs was first to bring it back and that was on the 23rd or 24th. Yeah the euro had a 'mother of god' run midweek that had 2 to 3 feet from DC to Boston and everyone went crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that was the timing on LI. What a great event. That stands out for me as one of at most a handful of times that a rain storm actually flipped to significant snow on the backend, despite being held out as a possibility dozens of times before and since. That snow was flying horizontal and put a more than just a coating on street signs fences and everything else. Next morning (26th) reminded me of Christmas morning in 'A Christmas Story.' I was forecasted to get 1 inch of snow after rain with temps in the 40s. The temps started to fall during the day into the mid 30s and the rain turned to snow earlier than forecasted. I turned on TWC ( Paul Kocin was on ) and he said the storm was bombing out earlier than modeled. I ended up with 5 inches. My whole family was shocked because they had to travel home in it. 12 hours ago, Nibor said: I was down in Monmouth county for the storm at my sisters house. She lives about a quarter mile from Sandy Hook Bay. Couldn’t get an accurate measurement because of the drifting. There was a snow drift up the side of her house that was at least 6 feet. Her car was completely buried under a drift. High snow totals are fun but combine them with 50 mph wind gusts and it’s a completely different experience. There was about 10 cars stuck right on my block. The sanitation did a horrible job during the storm. 2 hours ago, Rjay said: Earthlight had deleted the post but @Stormlover74 responded saving the day.

stemwinder Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 19 hours ago, uncle W said: the 1947 storm... What a storm. I was 10 years old, in Jersey City. Around New Years, we had an awful freezing rain storm, with no power. Thankfully we had old dirty gravity fed coal furnace heat back then. January and early February were a weenie's dream. Any technical or synoptic info on that winter is much appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NycStormChaser Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Looking back at the past year, one of my favorite chase days of 2019 was May 28th in New Jersey. My chase partner Michael Koch and I were positioning ourselves for a tornado warned cell to our west that already put down a tornado in Pennsylvania when the storm right in front of us decided to drop a tornado as well. We heard the storm start to make a distinct sound and we knew a tornado was on the ground as power flashes began across Lake Hopatcong. We followed the storm as tornado warnings continued all the way to New York City and got to see lighting strike after strike over the skyline. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibertyBell Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I dislike the term "bomb cyclone"- it's like they combined two words that dont belong together into one phrase. It sounds very awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds very awkward. It's not exactly a new phrase. The "bomb cyclone" syntax has made occasional appearances in the MWR since the mid-80s, with references to meteorological bombs more generally going back even farther. The media sort of made a mockery of the term in the last couple years, but that's no fault of its own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Cantore mentioning this, but I expected something that sounded more scientific like "bombogenic temperocyclonic storm" or maybe just "bombogenic temperate cyclone" lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
