I love how one 18z run sux everyone into it again :D .  each and all

If anything, I think it reminds everybody that there's no real solution. There's no " out to see " solution and there's no " cutter solution ". Everything's on the table. 

Also tells me why I I shouldn't get myself all worried about what's going to happen ( or not going to happen ).

How fast did Cleveland superbomb in 1978 deepen? I know it got down to about 955mb in Ohio  

 

Yeah, I thought about that storm; but this one surpasses that as modeled. 

I’m not really sure about the actual DP/dt of the Cleveland superbomb - that’s like some kind of buried ultra nerd data fantasy vital scoring. I guess I could search for awhile …

but I’m speaking specifically to the model governing parametrics in the wholesales synopsis across the continent.  I’ve never seen such a massive SPV plumbed deeper than 500 dam - executing such a high proficiency subsuming scenario on top of it is really in totality just beyond the extraordinary.

it’s really just for ogling model potentials tho  … doubt very much that will pass the reality test.

i seriously can't find anything like that in history...

i wonder if there's ever been anything like that in 'model history'

01-26-1978 (further west of course)

11-09-1913 (also west) _ Lake huron shipping disaster

10-12-1962 west coast _ large-scale forest blowdown

A very intense low near Long Island 03-01-1914 was near 950. NYC's lowest SLP.

Blizzard of 1888, 1899 (Feb) also in ballpark possibly? 

Extreme cold and blizzards of Jan 19-22 1857.

Oct 1987 in Britain

All very high impact situations. 

... and also full moon, tidal surge potential.

Interesting that you brought this system up. Way back in 1914, one of the clubs at Fishers Island had its clubhouse built right over South Beach. The March '14 nor'easter washed it completely away and the club's officers prudently decided to rebuild it well away from the water (although the '38 hurricane did a number on that structure as well). Anyway, every so often to this day, the old clubhouse stone footers get exposed after a big storm.

GEFS actually a little worse than 12z....

This is going to sound rather bunnable , but just bear with me for a moment… the operational version has been wildly oscillating between a complete ghost, to these upper tier manic solutions and that’s supposed to be the higher resolution souped up variant of the ensemble system.

in other words more stable. firstly, considering we’re beyond 200 hours there is no real responsibility to accuracy here to be fair. still, the wild variability of the operational version does not lend very much confidence that the ensemble system knows what the fuck is going on out there either 

frankly that goes for all models at present time..

the only confidence inspiring aspect as far as i’m concerned is still the intense signal beacon that’s been looming between the eighth and the 12th of the month for so long - confident if at least a favorable time in that sense. it’s just that when you pop off at giant solution like this in the middle of a strong probability region of time … should at least take notice.

Got some thoughts that have been rattling around my head all evening...

To start, I just want to say that I am happy to be here in the New England crew. Hurricane Floyd got me interested in weather (due to losing power for a few nights despite the NC landfall, the dynamics involved kick started my love interest in the hobby), and I have learned a lot from folks far more seasoned than I could ever hope to be both down the in SE and up here. I always was a cold weather enthusiast, but never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be living full time in a place that experiences actual seasons and "true cold".

Through all the bickering, whining, and can kicking, I am rather content.

Would I love to experience an old fashioned "Winter of Yore"? Oh yes, absolutely, but even this current climo far beats the raging dews and warm winters I had growing up. All in all, this is my home, and I am a proud Vermonter (go Catamounts!), and I wouldn't change it for the world. Just me, my wife, and our cat as we watch for the rare SVR, chance the fantasy KU, or even just watch height anomalies in the summer as we all get out and enjoy the beach/mountains/lakes or whatever it is you do. In the end, it doesn't matter if it is raining/snowing/windy to kingdom come, what matters is making memories with our family and loved ones.

As the calendar flips to the start of a New Year, let it start on a positive note: We all made it to another year, Benchmark is welcoming a new child into the world, most of us just had a White Christmas, and whatever it is in your lives that makes you happy reflect on those things instead of the inconsistency of the latest model suite and remember...

Whether it be skiing in Ludlow, eating lobster rolls in Maine, hiking in New Hampshire, catching a Red Sox game and singing Sweet Caroline on a crisp autumn evening, heading to the coast in Connecticut, or taking a trip to the Outer Cape and Rhode Island...

We are all New Englanders.

Happy New Year everyone, and may it be a blessed one.
-Prism

Thanks… Yeah, these are interesting result comparisons but this isn’t ultimately what I was discussing.
 

I was focused on modeling history and what was the most wholesale mechanically powerful thing ever modeled?

I completely forgot about the superstorm of 93 though - I’m not sure that got this deep though. Nor did it have heights cord out quite as deep as what this is

Superstorm of 1993 got down to 960mb per a NWS article I found

Maybe some strong storms tomorrow evening into early overnight from New Jersey into Fairfield County Connecticut? 

BOOM. My girlfriend is on the FaceTime with a friend who lives in New Jersey in a highrise building and he has the camera facing outside and we saw a sick CG!!!

That's why having a storm that gets down to 952 is not happening! We all just had the conversation the other day about storms during the Winter almost never getting that low as far as the pressure goes!
