drstuess Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'd be more comfortable if we had the 1998 version of Central Maine Power - they were absolute champions in that winter's ice storm. However, they've now become a dumpster fire, with the flames ignited by the practices of their over-the-ocean owners.Yes, but that is the distribution side of things, not operating the grid. Texas had a grid capacity issue, not a distribution infrastructure issue. The more analogous party in new england to the Texas issue is ISO-NE who operates our grid.To your point distribution across New England is crap ( managed by CMP, Eversource, National grid, etc)Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 To illustrate the uncertainty for the Friday deal... the NBM 25th and 75th percentile high temperature forecast for BDL is 30F and 48F lol 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no, I wasn't trying to imply that....but if the s/w is deep and strong enough, it will shoot this north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Euro says not enough outside of NNE. It might be too amped, but don't make the mistake of just citing the high strength...it doesn't mean much if it's not established over our region prior to the storm. If that high was sitting up over Quebec City prior to the storm, then I'd say it matters way more. The GFS, UK, and CMC all have the high there. The Euro, JMA, and NAVGEM all have it over the GL in Ontario. Interesting... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know you weren’t implying that. Just not feeling good about that high pressing in/beating the system here. After Saturday’s flop here…it’s pretty deflating seeing the euro screw us again.

Usually that means good for the north country, but don't want to see this slide too far north. We ended up with a foot when I expected 6 inches on Saturday so another 6-12 and we'll be in as good of shape as the winter of 2018-2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how this plays out, but I do know the deposed King is just another model. The glory days are over. Going to be a few days until we have a good sense of where this one sets up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ineedsnow Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 18z NAM doesnt look as amped as 12z so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 NAM is going to be more suppressed than 12z. Not really in range yet, but the signs are pretty clear by 48h, so it's not 100% useless on that front. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I kind of agree with Will on the 3/6-8,1996 comparison. Arguably that storm while progged much warmer than verification put BOS into 100+ range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
