J Paul Gordon Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 I'll pass on it, too. The 2012 event was good enough for me. I was a block away from places that had no power for days (Burncoat part of Worcester). We we kept awake all night by branches snapping around our house. It sounded like incessant rifle fire. I was afraid half of the maple tree outside the house would come down on it. Not a fun event. You can have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxWatcher007 Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 Serious question—not being a wiseass: would folks pass on an October 2011 type of event or an 1888 redux given the extreme impact? How much is too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much is too much? Probably not. Would much rather have that then a ‘38 redux. Something like that scares the shit out of me. I mean it would be fun to experience the elements but not the result of those elements 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The magnitude is still in doubt. It could be 55-60 and rain but there’s a chance it never gets close to that warm either. I’d think it might benefit to torch for a day or two if we can press the boundary down behind it sort of like the Euro had. I’d say we wait and see what guidance does over the next 2-3 days on that front. there’s actually a lot of AK ridging showing up that’ll inject colder air into the flow. it’s really just a matter of allowing the TPV/lead wave providing enough push to drag the boundary south is it a long shot for most? yes. but it’s not that ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost power for 10 days in 2011 and I would do anything for a event like that again.. trees going down and constant shotgun blast.. neighborhood looked like a bomb went off it was awesome!!

We’ve seen cutters in the past turn into legit winter storms on models as they get closer with huge poleward ridging. I’m skeptical there’s enough trend in the tank to get us there on this one, but it’s obviously plausible given some of the solutions we’ve seen today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a monster ice storm down there on that date. We had significant icing here too in interior SNE but it wasn’t what the Carolinas saw in that event. Actually prob started the day before that far south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was glad to be in the valley for that storm That one i could absolutely do without! As an electrician I've never worked so many days straight... and in the end wondering why there wasn't really cash coming in. Not near enough snow to justify me enjoying it. I'd take a '78 again in a heartbeat. Lots of snow OTG prior to the storm, and one of the windiest snowstorm i can remember 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickly saw how much the roofer was making and went into business himself. Made enough bank to buy himself a big ol' diesel pickup in a month. People were desperate to get the snow off their roofs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pretty drastic differences between the GEFS and EPS for next week and what happens just after, especially with the degree and strength of the western ridge for the 120-156 hour window and some big differences after. While the pattern looks to become poop, you might be able to sneak some potential in...just have to time something right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 That AK ridge is tilting east too. That helps vs a west tilt imo. Might try to push PV further SSE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much is too much? We discuss this from time to time. We can’t control the weather nor do we get a vote. We are weather nuts so extreme events are the most interesting and thats just the way it is. We don’t pass - if we get it we are into it.

Truthfully it sometimes baffles me that people are conditional with winter wx but I get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
