40/70 Benchmark Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 It's really tough to get big rain AND win from a tropical system at this latitude at any given locale..exceedingly rare due to extratropical transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just over nina and having to perfectly time northern stream dominated phase jobs…and would prefer to shuffle it up with a weak The nino instead. Ray says that’s coming winter 23/24. This la nina will die quickly this winter...it won't get beyond moderate. I think the Nino next season will be stronger than weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we would all sign immediately.....save for maybe Scooter That was a cool-neutral ENSO, so not too far off. If it could combine Nov-Jan 07-08 with Feb-Apr 92-93, wow! However, the local co-op had totaled only 15" snow thru Jan 31 (07-08 had 72") with but a single storm greater than 2". Also, the final week of that month had only traces OG - no measurable in January is exceedingly rare there. Then Feb onward featured 6 storms of 12-18", 109" total and a pack that climbed to 56" as the Superstorm pulled away, tied with March 1971 for 2nd tallest. (The 84" in Feb 1969 is untouchable.)

tamarack Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 1 hour ago, 40/70 Benchmark said: Pretty much a non event in my area...just gusty rain...it tracked too far east. We lived in Gardiner Maine then, and Bob dumped 6.41", biggest calendar day I've recorded, 1962 onward. Gusts probably reached 60, ranking it in my "2nd tier" of strong winds, with Hazel, Doria and the 4/82 blizzard. (Top tier includes the 1950 Apps gale and the NW winds behind the BGR blizzard on 12/31/62 - the 5/-8 temp on that day was also pretty cold for NNJ.) Bob was also my only TC experience in which the backside NW winds were equally as strong as the SE front, though about 95% of the RA came before the shift. Thoughts on "ratters" - depends on expectations and variability. I'd guess than getting <60% of an average of 45-50" occurs maybe a quarter of the winters. 60% of the Farmington co-op average would rank 122nd of 130 winters there. At CAR, 60% would land between 80th and 81st out of 82 winters. 50% would set a new record. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I miss canes so much It’s my favorite thing to track and experience . I would give anything to have been here for 1938 and the 50’s and 60’s with all those direct hits. I keep telling myself this year is the year .. and then it’s not. Year after year. I am infatuated with strong and damaging wind. I get it’s a sickness and admit it. But I do hope I get to see one before it’s my time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

September without a cane to me is one of the worst months because summer is ending and there’s usually not much severe and it’s generally just sunny and boring. April is my least favorite. September is 2nd least favorite . Unless we get a cane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
