but thankfully for everyone here you are completely objective and neutral about this

Actually, if you had read the NESIS thread in the main forum, you would have seen that-- but you chose to bring that up in here for some reason.... why? A few days ago I stated in there that if you go by areal coverage its obvious that storm was the bigger one. My personal preferences for intensity and wind aside. Besides which, when you experience 60-70 mph winds in a raging snowstorm, youll understand what it feels like to have 5-6 foot drifts that blocking you in, repeatedly... hours after you shovel, and how bad not having power for hours on end in a snowstorm can be. Wind can and does have a severe impact.... but that isnt my point here. The fact is, you should have read the posts in the NESIS thread and posted there instead of going off in another region's subforum.

Hows it lookin for us up here bro?? Pls give me good news.. lol

Well, I would be happy for it to nudge inland a little for selfish reasons lol, but the precip shield is pretty broad so it hits the HV pretty good.. It is a nice hit - Probably somewhere close to 0.75 for all areas of the HV. I think this i a solid run for everyone.

You keep saying not my forum but I live closer to Philadelphia then I do DC and this argument is entirely subjective and I stated such up front but for some reason you can not handle when someone has a different opinion about things. More scary then that is that sometimes people here can not handle when FACTS supported by evidence and data does not agree with their misconceptions.

Dude-- that wasnt the only reason I said to put it in the main forum. The other reason was that we already have a discussion in the main forum about it and if you had read through that discussion you would have seen that I and several other people you are arguing with agreed that the storm from last year should be rated higher because of much more areal coverage. I also asked how much population factors into it and no one seemed to have a direct answer. Its not about having a different opinion-- its an issue of we already have a discussion about this. And when I talked about intensity/wind, I was talking about personal preference (but also about how crippling wind can be, which several people agreed in that thread) HOWEVER, that wasnt about how the storm should be ranked, but personal preference.

TRUCE

I forgot about the NESIS thread and didn't mean for this to get this out of hand, its starting to detract from the serious discussions and that was not my intent. One post kind of grated on my nerves and I made my opinions known that's all. We can continue this debate in PM or in the NESIS thread but I do not want to muck up this thread anymore.

lol I had/have no argument with you, Im just frustrated that we're talking about the same thing yet again. I dont think you actually posted in that thread, but I remember talking with gymengineer and after I looked at the coverage map, I said something to the effect of "this should be rated a 2 if you go by areal coverage but 3 if you go by population affected." Honestly, I didnt think they'd rate it higher than any of the storms from last year, especially when Kocin said on FB that it should be a 2. Of course, when I saw it was a 3 and yet they didnt include any of the 30+ inch amts from jersey I said it should have been a high 3 :lmao:

BTW how did this get started in the first place? I saw the argument was already raging when I got on.

FYI, there is a really ugly torch for everyone (including me in DCA and up to SNE) at 240...but thats just on tonight's OP run. Its because there is a cutter and the cold blast is behind it

Yeah there's going to be an arctic front, at least if you believe the GFS/ECM have any idea what they are talking about. Where the wave forms on that arctic front is going to determine whether we see a torch. With a cutter that strong, though, it should bring in some nasty cold with that PV sitting over Canada. Also have a nice west-based -NAO at 240 hrs on ECM.
