Not to take away from the importance of the bomb, the winds, and the imminent flooding on rivers....but i still think long term there is at least one opportunity for a winter episode and im thinking around equinox with a mixed ptype situation. Fairly atypical for us but gfs has been pretty consistent and is still fairly robust with cold air and moisture over the next 2 weeks. Cant wait to get this storm out of the way to see how things land.

The storm has officially "bombed" out Strongest storm I've seen since the October "super bomb" that hit the Upper Midwest several years back. |

Hurricane force wind gusts along with moderate-to-heavy blowing snow... no big deal!
Wow.

Time for a fresh thread as we begin the legitimate pivot to Spring. That statement does not imply that we are done with cold and snow...but it does imply that the pivot has begun...and the undeniable trend is toward early Spring. To that end... flood is already becoming a concern...and is likely to become a major concern in the weeks to come as the huge storage of water in the great frozen north begins to melt. Even normal rainfall will spell big trouble. While the major rivers are most at risk...there is no denying the damp soil conditions in our area...which makes any single heavy rain event a concern. Repeat offenders will only elevate those concerns. To get ready for the flood season... I have been working over the past several weeks to update, improve, fix my excel spreadsheet that I use to snag the AHPS data and convert it into a usable format for on air and online. The data crunching and manipulating is pretty intense...considering I only use Excel. If only I had some coding expertise...but I do not. This is the fruit of my labor. Have a look...and PLEASE look for mistakes, errors, etc. It has been very challenging unwinding all the different formats the NWS uses for different gauges...some report stream flows...some only stages...some get a daily forecast... others only get a forecast when the water is high enough. Some have defined flood stage, moderate flood, major flood, etc. some do not. I have tried to account for all of those elements in the product you see here. Let me know what you think... Just curious...how are you pulling in the data? Web API, parsing the XML from their RSS feed or some other way? |

watching live coverage from COS stations, apparently the 96/97mph gust is an all-time record during snowfall/blizzard?... Not sure what the exact context is.
