That storm also featured the worst static subsidence I've ever seen in Rhode Island. Some spots got almost nothing while a few miles away they were measuring in feet. That’s one of my top 3. Had 22” here. I kept worrying that dry slot would get back to Tol county , but instead we kept upsloping with 1-2” per hour while 8-10 miles east was dim sun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it was wild. Incredibly long fetch off the ocean. I think Blue Hills put up 30". ORH was up there, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 That radar of that firehose storm was awesome. The valley to the west downsloped. I think Ryan had like 4”. I bet Will has that one saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He grew up in the Bronx and we used to discuss the same storm we grew up enjoying. He doesn't need to get up early-works late which would have been great for me. He loves this too much! No many of us can get the job we've wanted since we were young kids and carry it over for a lifetime. Harvey is maybe 1-2 years younger than me. I remember being here (traveling from LA) about a month after the blizzard of 78. My weenie friend, also in the same profession and I called him at the station. The funny thing is he was early career then and was jealous of us having a sure bet career. Great guy, incredible met-really respect the guy a lot. I think one of my favorite Harvey broadcasts was the day before the January 2015 blizzard. He just totally weenie’d out on the air and said something like “These are the types of storms we live for as meteorologists.” You could hear the excitement in his voice. That’s when I was thinking “he could totally do this another ten years. He still has the passion” 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So weird how the off hours on euro have done this every time in this storm. It actually looks like the CCB is a bit more organized this run though for the second half of the storm regardless of the QPF maps. Do you have a map to share for us qpfq’s?

Typhoon Tip Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 1 hour ago, The 4 Seasons said: Well since the GFS nailed this storm, then i definitely trust it at 258HR good humor but .. there is a matter of perspective. The GFS was actually the first guidance to flag this space and time as containing an event of interest... ? That does count.. The others caught onto the GFS' invention and ran to the accuracy bank with it.. leaving the GFS - so it seems.. I mean it does seem unlikely ..but this thing could still bust S-E and be a NYC/L.I. CT/RI and Cape thing ... You know, there were a couple of big storms in the 1985 thru 1990 ...back before modern refinement of modeling tech, where painful SE correction happened within 6 to 12 hours to go before event entry. Proooobably not happenin' in this day and age - no. But, this is still 3.5 to 4th period technically so ... we could bump 50 miles a run starting at 00z and suddenly the GFS is wrong for coming N - wouldn't that be an ironic kick in the nuggets. Ha... But anyway, fthe GFS was really pretty good at D9 to 11 range... It just seems for the time being that couldn't get out of it's own progressivity bias down the stretch ... Matter of perspective, if there is a boxing day wave in eastern N/A... that run counts as a ballsy call - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 1 hour ago, CoastalWx said: That run was a little better here. Snows into Thursday evening. You know ? it's almost like if the storm were a little weaker, it would be better - hold on hold on. let me s'plain it. If it were weaker, we could still get a 6-8" band to about the Pike with 2-6" to Rt 2/SE NH... then, the wind on the back side doesn't bend/back around into an NVA subsidence and drying ... We'd probably sustain a feeble 800 mb easterly jet with all that mid level winds still troughing underneath our latitude after the event, and we'd have another 18 hours ( probably ) of currier&ives ...or even that 1.25 mi vis saw dust you sometimes get... It would prolong the wintry vibe - But it does seem like we get a moderate ( easily ) to perhaps top 20 Dec event ... that clears starlight by mid evening.
