Older storm advisories were scanned digitally, so they don't appear in Google searches. :wink: Douglas is wrong.

I don't know. I stop after one guess. Your guess is wrong.

Yes. Ginny in 1963 dumped over a foot of snow in Maine.
You didn't give the year, but you did give a defining characteristic, so I'll give it to you.

No real hard and fast rules guys, personally I wouldn't set any limits on guessing. Yes, radar/sat images instead of advisories are perfectly fine. Even tracks. Point of this game is to have a bit of fun while testing your tropical cyclone knowledge. :wink:

Name the Storm and Year......Good Luck......




VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGES INDICATE THAT HAS ???????? WELL DEFINED CLOUD
BANDS WRAPPING AROUND THE CENTER BUT IT LACKS CENTRAL FEATURES. IR
IMAGES SHOW THAT THE CONVECTIVE TOPS ARE NOT VERY COLD AT THIS TIME.
T-NUMBERS ARE 3.0 AND 2.5 SO THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS SET AT 40
KNOTS. SHIFOR SHOWS ONLY A SLIGHT INCREASE IN INTENSITY WHILE THE
GFDL FORECASTS NO CHANGE AT ALL. ???????? IS MOVING OVER WARM
WATERS...LOW LATITUDES...AND THERE IS NO WIND SHEAR AHEAD.
THEREFORE...THE OFFICIAL FORECAST BRINGS THE SYSTEM TO HURRICANE
STATUS IN 36 HOURS...FOLLOWING SHIPS MODEL AND AS INDICATED IN THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST.

INITIAL MOTION IS 275/10. A DEEP LAYER MEAN RIDGE TO THE NORTH OF
THE STORM IS FORECAST TO PERSIST SO A GENERAL WEST TO WEST-NORTHWEST
TRACK IS EXPECTED THROUGH 72 HOURS. THIS IS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT
WITH ALL TRACK MODELS EXCEPT BY THE HIGHLY UNLIKELY SOLUTION OF THE
AVN WHICH TURNS ???????? SOUTHWESTWARD.
