How is your area with OES. Seems like a decent spot?

Yeah it's not bad. The real good area is more like the southern part of town down into Norwell. That's where the terrain is a bit higher and the land/sea convergence zone is able to dump a bit more snow there. In 2015 it was just a lucky position of the cstl front just east of me in a few storms. So think of it as ocean effect moisture forced up and over the cstl front into an arctic airmass.  

I'm on a hill so although my el is like 120', it rocks in a nor'easter since I'm probably the highest point from shore on a N to NE wind. Nice view of the BOS skyline from my street too.

Hingham has a huge difference in climates.  The side towards the highway gets crushed.

Yeah being inland helps. Even here, after the 2/1 disaster this year, I had snow. Go 1 mile down the rd closer to the water...zippo. I've seen almost no snow here, and then Rt 3 covered too. Just being 2-3 miles further inland can help.

Up and in?

Love the snow talk in the SVR thread.  I’m here for it.

Anyone here have any good resources on the May '85 Pennsylvania tornado outbreak? That seems like a pretty extraordinary event and I'd love to read up on it. Thanks in advance.

I can recommend a good book I read several years ago called “Tornado Watch #211”  by John G Fuller and you can buy it used on Amazon
