40/70 Benchmark Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 4 minutes ago, Typhoon Tip said: Yeah...as amazing as that storm was ... and it was multi faceted ( there was a wind damage and a tide problem at shore communities all the way down the Jersey shore/up to eastern Ma and coastal Nh in that too ) it was not a prolifiic snow producer over inland 'shadow' topographies. Someone can probably drub up the snow chart from that - it's a easy google effort no doubt. But the CT River valley and the like, ...I think Springfield Ma only got like 2-4" but that may be just my memory - heh. Meanwhile places like Sutton were up over 30 inches. Yea, CTRV got shadowed big time due to the easterly flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 1 hour ago, Typhoon Tip said: Still to this point in my life have I yet to experience a transition awe the likes of which I did back on the evening of December 10 1992. I've told this story ...in prose novular format, so no sense waxing and laboring description all anew. But, the paraphrased version: We were experiencing large cat paws amid sheeting cold rains ... sideways at 38 and change F. I was living in Fox Tower dormitory Hall up at UML as I date myself - heh. Anyway, the building seemed to 'sway' slightly by the force of the wind. We had a real humdinger bomb going off between NJ and ISP ... destined to be capture, it would then trundle only a slow death off ACK for another day ..day and half, I time in which some pretty extraordinary things took place. You know I can't recall - if the Merrimack Valley region was actually under a winter advisory? But, that system had already spun for 12 hours worth at that point, and out toward Worcester country ...the elevations were rumored to be over a foot with ongoing choking fall rates... Mind you...this is way back before hand-held high tech made access to radar, satellite and the dizzying array of other Meteorological colonoscopy that we over-stimulate our e-zombie psychotropic addictions with today. We had the bitter-sweet virtue back then of the 'unsolved mystery,' the 'wonder' of what would be in store. Haha... yeah, I know - lost on today's wit ... Can't say I'd be willing to return to that state of affairs either in all honesty. That was one of those rare times where and when the rumor was actually vastly UNDERselling what was happening out toward Worcester country. I was hanging out down the lounge/lobby area not studying... a typical haunt. The setting was just off the front entrance of the Hall, when some guy comes in ..he's looking slightly disheveled ... peering around in juts. He's soaking wet and runs his hands frantically back through his hair a couple times and murmurs "Jesus Christ" "What's wrong with you - what's going on," the security guard that most students had developed a friendly rapport with - you could tell he liked his gig. Probably kept him young to interact with passer by students, I can imagine. Anyway, the guy stopped and said, "You wouldn't f'n believe it..I'm in a hurry. I gotta get back to my girlfriend waiting in the storm in her car up in Dracut" Mind you, Dracut was/is 5 miles as the crow flies from Fox Toward and the UML campus... "Why what's up?" The sequence of events had managed to capture multiple attention spans. The guy says, "It's the snow storm. She's off the road and I got to make a phone call for a tow because I can't push her out." A few of us walked over to the large windows next to the door and looked left and right out into the rain abyss of the night ... and furled brows at each other, 'what the hell's he talking about.' "Right up over the Tyngsborough bridge it's snowing so hard you can't see!" ... A little while later I boarded the elevator and ascended to my aerie abode higher up in the building. Unlike my grade-point average, I did have the elevated vantage point out of window overlooking the campus. Ha. Least I had that goin' for me. As I was getting off the elevator...another subtle sensation of swaying, 'whoa'. The distant sound of huge wind, I imagined, as it was curling around the monolithic structure of the building. I'm standing in front of my door, and as I am fumbling with my keys, they of course jingled to the floor. When I bent down to recollect just then, a brilliant flash permeates from under the door.. Like the crack along the floor, light flashed through. At first I wondered if my bone-head roommate was in there with his chums sparkin' one off, but as I keyed the door and opened it, I was not greeted by purple haze, the murmur voices, and the sweet stench of skunt testicles... I was greeted by the cocophantic booms of thunder ... 'Holy shit!' ...Immediately I'm tripping over chairs in the dark and I recall I dinged the front of my shin bone - I remember that hurting like holy hell..but I was fumbling my way to the window because ... you know, priorities. I was standing there... there was another flash puslated over the building... and as the thunder soon followed it seemed to herald one of the more fantastic things I've ever seen in a weather phenomenon. The entire sky afar began aglow in a butterscotch hue. It was as though the sky was a glow lamp that was turned up all at once. One by one, dots of distant humanity lights began to blink off... I was trying to makes sense of what I was seeing as another flash ... and as the boom occurred, that hue over took the immediate atmosphere outside the window, and the whole sky to earth and air in between went from R+ to S+ ... 5 seconds. Visibility went from typical heavy rain and wind at night ...to glowing 1/8th of a mi vis or less, .... immediately! No lie. Not an exaggeration. If anything ... 5 seconds may be generous; it may have been less than that. It was literally, instant ... 12 hours later, we had 18" of snow under a blizzard warning. On that date I was working at Weather Services in Bedford. We had to call town highway departments with manual weather forecasts. It was mid evening in Bedford. Heavy rain. I got off work and headed west. I hit the snow line just west of town. Within 1 mile went from heavy rain to heavy snow. The line was stationary and I drove my car back and forth through it. Amazing difference in short distances. Drove back home to Newton in heavy rain. Woke up next morning to a foot. Great evening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Just got home from Franconia Notch flying my drone. Great model trends today (for me). At my elevation I should be snow from the get go. A 32.5F mauling can cause so much tree and power outages. Wood stove and genny and I should be fine. Setup the phone if we loose internet. As long as Euro doesn't do anything funky all systems go for a fun first storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
