Possibly the nearest confirmed funnel cloud by the NWS was south of Nashua, NH, in the early 1990's when the remnants of a hurricane passed through. Also a couple of years ago there was an odd spectacle of low-level sheets of moisture moving horizontally toward a thunderstorm, caused by a strong onshore wind moving against the direction of the thunderstorms. I presumed that might be a sign of rotation occurring however I haven't seen that occur since.report abuseDarthBubba
