Wednesday Evening March 3, 2010 Update..
Another bust.. Here is new thinking. The big deal is Coastal Flooding at High Tide around 2 AM. We may have similar flooding to what happened Midday Monday. The snow bands are there, but so far are falling apart as fast as they form. Reports from Cape Cod are 1″-2″, we may see enough for plowing by AM.

Day #7 Stormy New England
Posted by Tim Kelley March 1, 2010 (2 weeks ago) at 8:42 pm
Simply amazing that we have a third storm merging with the upper low stalled over the northeast for 7 days now. The storm that tracked south of New Orleans Friday Feb 26, 2010, across southern FL Saturday, merged with our old Super Storm south of Nova Scotia today, Monday March 1, 2010. The resultant wind from the North ramped up to 50+ in gusts creating waves of 10′-20′ funneling to Massachusetts Bay. The combination of a weeks worth of onshore wind, Full Cold Moon High Tide, and wind from the right direction, brought the roughest seas to shores south of Boston since the April 2007 super storm. Here is the weather map for today. Some photos from the shore are posted below.
There is another storm with 3″ of snow in Dallam texas today. That low will bring another round of Gale Force wind to New England Wednesday. But the heavy precip should stay offshore. Believe it or not, Vermont may get the most in the next few days, from a storm passing way off to the south. Go Figure. About as logical as rain in Maine, and Snow on Cape Cod, that we saw today (another warm from the north due to block).

Breaking Down The Block….But Another Storm Backs IN!
Posted by Joe Joyce February 27, 2010 (2 weeks ago) at 7:47 pm
The blocking pattern we have been stuck in for the past month is finally starting to break down. Through much of the month of February we were on the more favorable side of the block as we watched storms stay south. As we know, last week we got slammed with heavy snow in the mountains and damaging winds at the coast. I am pleased to say that they weather looks a little more progressive in the coming days…meaning it keeps moving along…which is what weather is supposed to do. Before we get out of this atmospheric traffic jam, there are still a few pieces of energy we have to watch. Read More of the Forecast Discussion Inside Read more
Getting Out In The Storm…The Worst I Have Experienced
Posted by Joe Joyce February 27, 2010 (2 weeks ago) at 8:46 am
There have been so many extreme weather events which have occurred in my 12 years at NECN. It is impossible to count. But Thursday Night’s Storm is one weather event I will never forget. Usually, when the weather is at it’s worst…my skills are needed in the weather office forecasting, broadcasting and creating graphics. Our station sends out reporters into the elements to get tossed around and report the conditions outside. This time I got the call to get out and cover the storm. We knew the winds were going to howl upto hurricane force strength…but it is one thing to say it…and another to experience it first hand. What a wild night for New England…a bona Wintercane! Bombogenesis off the coast. Whatever you want to call it…the winds and waves were incredible! Definitely the some of the worst weather I have personally experienced…Check out the video below of my night covering the storm.

‘BomboGenesis’ is What Happened Feb 25, 2010
Posted by Tim Kelley February 26, 2010 (2 weeks ago) at 7:29 pm
Hurricane force wind ripped through New England on the evening of Thursday February 25, 2010. Watching Weather Radar, it was clear we had a circulation tracking from Buzzard’s Bay to Boston to Worcester Massachusetts. Watching the Surface Observations it was clear we had an intensifying Low Pressure Center deviating from a forecast track and intensity. In fact the Midnight observation at Isle Of Shoals NH Buoy recorded sustained wind of 64 Knots, Gusting 78 Knots, 1 knot below a Cat One Hurricane! In this image below we use observations to deduce the track of this February 2010 SuperStorm. Feeding this storm was the 80° energy & severe storms in Florida Wednesday, combined with the -7° record cold from Des Moines IA. Tropical and Arctic air, with storms #1 and storm # 2 merging near Cape Cod.
A picture is worth a thousand outages

And in this case, two pictures show just what power crews in Maine are coping with today as they try to restore power to more than a 130,000 customers without power in the Pine Tree State.
First, there are the thousands of people who like their counterparts to the south are delaing with the aftereffects of last night’s stunning wind. Central Maine Power crews snapped a couple of photos on Brighton Ave., in Portland.
